Views and activism

Larsson has grown increasingly vocal with her views on other artists and industry workers with whom she works and admires. While she has high praise for performers such as Beyoncé,[77] she is equal in her opposing views of such artists as Dr. Luke[78] and Chris Brown.[79] Larsson, a fan of Beyoncé, identifies as a feminist and models herself an "activist" after the singer.[77] She attributes her openness of opinion on social media and in interviews to her parents, claiming: "Both my parents are very educated when it comes to social issues and being woke about what's going on in the world, and they've been very supportive of me having a voice".[77]

In January 2015, Larsson gained a lot of positive attention in Sweden and the United States after posting a picture on her Instagram showing a condom wrapped around her leg and foot to refute the idea that penises can be too big for condoms to fit around.[80] She is currently fronting a new campaign from Durex and AIDS organization (RED) promoting sexual health awareness and raising money for AIDS treatment in South Africa.[81] In order to increase public understanding of incontinence, she has openly stated that she used diapers until she was seven years old.[82]

In June 2015, she came into the spotlight in her home country for openly questioning whether the Bråvalla Festival had any gender perspective whatsoever, as its promotion and performance line-up were highly dominated by male artists. She also wondered why she wasn't presented among the main acts despite being the most popular artist on Spotify of the festival's acts.[83] That same day, Swedish singer Günther wrote on his Facebook profile criticizing Larsson: "You are one of many teenybopper chicks who are world-famous in Sweden and maximally hyped but don't come with any hits, only a lot of fuss."[83] During her performance at the festival she countered back saying: "Fuck Günther, fuck all woman haters".[83] This led to the hashtag #backazara being created and popularised on social media platforms, where thousands of people, including famous Swedish people, showed their support for Larsson.[83]

On 11 May 2021, Larsson posted an image of text on her Instagram where she criticised Israel for killing civilians and "upholding apartheid", and expressed the importance of standing against antisemitism.[84]

In the 2022 Swedish general election, she publicly endorsed the Left Party.[85]

Larsson has been referred to as a "man hater" when she tweeted "I hate all men"[86] and "Man hating and feminism are two different things. I support both".[87] She has later explained that she was purposefully amplifying Twitter's lack of nuance for extra controversy[86] and also clarified her stance in more nuanced words after researching the subject by saying "Hating men is just hating toxic masculinity, essentially. And men hate that too, even if they don't know it, and even if they think they're against feminism. Even if they're like, 'No, I'm a strong man', it's like: yeah, but you hate that really – you know deep down that you wanna cry. You're really just a human being who sometimes needs a hug and love and comfort, but you can't tell your friends that because you think it would be 'gay' or emasculating or whatever.""[88]
