There are a bunch of people complaining that she and her act 'glorify mental illness' which, I suppose, has some foundation in reality - I speak only from personal experience, but I had a friend who used EA's depictions of asylums as a reason to refuse to get any help, even in the same breath as telling me that she was probably going to kill herself, but then again this friend had some serious issues so I'm not sure that's so much EA's fault as my friend's.

Apart from that, there are near-constant claims that she's 'self-centred' and 'childish' which...yeah, she can act pretty bratty, especially on Twitter, but it doesn't deserve anywhere near the level of venom I've seen from some people.

Oh, and there are a group of people who feel betrayed that she 'lied' about her family all being dead, her name, her being related to Alice Lidell, and a bunch of other stuff that, as near as I can figure, is all part of the character Emilie Autumn that she plays as an entertainer. Like, there are flamewars over her name, which is just bizarre to me. Nobody says that David Bowie is 'lying' because his last name isn't actually Bowie. Nobody feels personally betrayed because Ke$ha isn't actually a party-all-night-erry-night club kid. I just don't get it.

Yeah that isn't even remotely on par with Amanda

If I had no reason to despise her before, I sure have one now. The whole mental-hospital-as-spoooooooky-place is a tired trope anyway, and I have no patience for it after having been in one myself.

The way she encouraged people with mental illness to never get treated ever, with an "autobiography" that's... well, just read it and tell me how real that is.

I don't hate her but my god I don't like her.
