Re: Stuff You Don't Want to Google/Google isn't Helpful With

[(Anonymous)]

In general, she has corny taste and has had a habit of throwing herself out there saying a lot of controversial things framed in ways that are inflammatory and often frankly dumb. More specifically, there was a big controversy in the early 2010s about a Kickstarter album and paying artistic collaborators for their work and a bunch of sordid stuff like that, which I think really blew up and really soured a lot of people on her whole Internet presence. But I don't think it's really any one specific thing - it's not just the fact that she wrote a poem for the perpetrator of the Boston Marathon bombings, but the fact that she is the kind of person who seems to constantly do shit like that.

I haven't really kept up on all the waves of drama, but this seems like a reasonable take on it all. (Disclaimer: I used to be a fan of her music from the Dresden Dolls days, but kind of dropped off after her first solo album.)

She has a pattern of doing quite attention-demanding things that seem to be (at the very least) in bad taste, and then seemingly not understanding (or caring) why people are upset. The Boston Marathon bomber poem felt very much like a way of centering herself in a tragedy that had little to do with her. IIRC, there was some story from when she was younger about feigning a suicide/OD and filming her then-boyfriend's reaction to use as part of a project. She crowd-funded a tour and recruited people to collaborate and support her, but then only offered "beer and hugs" as payment.

The consensus seems to be that she's rather narcissistic, with little interest in how her actions affect other people and a sense that because she's working "outside the system" or challenging the norm, she is due praise and attention.

All this (DA)

Aaand in general from my observations online of people who don't like her, it seems that she's very attention seeking? I also think she was married to Neil Gaiman? The writer? Idk. Made some noise about their divorce? A lot of drama type of individual. And sometimes (this is just pure extrapolation) this kind of behavior can come off as insincere and annoying (on anyone frankly).

Again, these are just casual observations. Omg. Am I thinking of Emily Autumn? I feel like I might and I don't feel like googling lol. I mix those two up in my head all the time. So maybe ignore me. Idk.

Emilie Autumn wasn’t the one married to Neil Gaiman(I’m almost positive), so you are right that these were Amanda Palmer’s actions. However, Emilie and Amanda are very similar in personality, and have some aesthetic similarities, so I understand the confusion. And I say this as someone who’s still a fan of Emilie’s music. She can be an annoying and attention seeking person just like Amanda, both of their talent be damned.

Wasn't there a whole thing where she preformed as half of a pair of conjoined twins and that was considered kind of ableist/in bad taste? She also has a kind of odd voice and her music isn't for everyone so if you don't like her music but she keeps making a racket for attention people aren't inclined to give her the benefit of the doubt.
