TrickyC (he/him): oh shit, receipts: here she is talking about it amandapalmer.substack.com/p/ask-amanda...

Ugh can someone please give me the tldr on Neil fucking Gaiman while I rewatch The Killing Type music video Amanda Palmer made about him

yes these allegations are real and credible, -yes and- his marriage to Amanda itself was a red flag. I went to one of her spoken word tours with a few friends who have known her personally: she made a racist joke, made jokes at the expense of the people who called her put on the racist joke...

and then tried to lead the crowd in an impromptu session of "forgive your rapist" and was trying to "come on!" everyone who booed and tried to sit it out. We all left vowing to not even play her ass on spotify

excuse me...an impromptu session of WHAT?????

I was livid: like a big through line of the show was about a very abusive relationship she was in, dovetailed into vague implications of complicity that were honestly already losing the crowd, and finally at the climax of her story, was like, "everybody get up! Who's been assaulted in their life?"

once it became clear what she was trying to reach for SO MANY people sat down SO FAST, some were booing

ASK AMANDA #4: Two Questions about Rapeamandapalmer.substack.com ::Contains sensitive material, proceed mindfully::

I was at the Seattle show where VERY FEW people were on her side

holy shit.

THAT WAS HER ATTITUDE.

my God. and the way she drops something as triggering as "forgive your rapist" and then goes "I want to keep performing my show" everything I learn about her is awful lmao

really did feel like "haha, I did an art. made you feel something. you're all so programmed or repressed! anyhoo, only 10 mins left in the show! no time to take this anywhere but retraumatization and confusion byeeee~!"

smh so very cruel of her.

I don't remember if she and Gaiman lived here but she was a recognizable figure around Boston back in the day and has a reputation for being a pretty awful person.

She was cancelled on Tumblr a few years ago and I honestly don't even remember why bc everything I ever hear from her is something like this.

She's a terrible person and was canceled before canceling became a thing because she used to invite local musicians to play with her or open and refused to pay them. She might be the first to pull the "you get paid in exposure" card. Of course that's not even the worst thing she's done

Multiple racial slurs on tape, "pay my band in hugs", "we forgive our rapists", + apparently a fucking Trail of Tears pun on one of her albums

On Amanda Palmer’s “White Feminism,” A.K.A. Bigotrygracelapointe.medium.com I loved the Dresden Dolls in high school. Hey, I’m also a Masshole, who loves feminism and that Goth aesthetic. I love the movie Cabaret…

She once said that a Gwen Stefani video having ironic use of brand names was bad, and that the real way to be ironic would be to "ironically" send money to the KKK. 🙃

Sorry, it was a Lady Gaga video, my bad. paiwings.blogspot.com/2010/03/wtf-...

WTF Amanda Palmer?paiwings.blogspot.com I'm wondering how much coverage this will get in my regular blog reading, and I'm wondering if somehoe people might miss it, so I'm posting ...

her racist joke was about how she'd made a DIFFERENT racist joke and gotten dragged on tumblr, something about how black girls can't be goth, and she BOTH didn't deny making the joke AND tried to lead the audience in laughing about how RIDICULOUS it was to consider her racist for it!!

.....

She’d been a hot mess for a while but the breaking point for me was after her 2019 album came out, she targeted a twentysomething music journalist (woman) at the Guardian for online harassment because the paper declined to review the record. Not “bad review”; didn’t review at all. I was done.

It was Gaga, but yes.

Realized it after I went back to relook up the details: bsky.app/profile/bank...
