This is the most ridiculous thread I've seen in a while. Pretty sure you knew what kind of reaction you'd get and seeing as you absolutely cannot have made this thinking 'THIS SHOULD GO DOWN OKAY LALALALA', I also feel like you're probably trying to get that attention.
There are sooo many other ways you could have said this that wouldn't have fucked everyone off. Other people have made threads to this effect without this level of negativity happening in the responses. I think my main problem is the attention seeking thread, but this has been said on this forum many, many times: try not to let your sense of entitlement turn you into a total douche.

aw crap I am a hypocrit...

I once posted on the box that I hated Regina Spektor so Marie (from KatzKab) and Deborah spronk wrote a song about it.
wish I had it still :(

edit: I don't hate her anymore I just dislike 80% of her songs. She is welcome round for tea and scones anytime.

It comes back to the fact that Amanda doesn't owe you anything.

(this is not directed at you totalfrog)

the thing that sucks the most for me:

it does come back to that. and that is something that amanda never fails to make clear. she is amanda FUCKING palmer, she is NO ONE'S BITCH, she doesn't owe her fans ANYTHING, FUCK A LABEL, FUCK everyone else's idea of legitimate song writing, FUCK everyone who thinks that everything she does is not art, FUCK everyone who was offended by evelyn evelyn, FUCK CDs- wait, people want to pay for CDs so cancel that fuck, FUCK that recording of provanity, FUCK responsibility (she has spent enough time doing things she didn't like), FUCK everyone who wants something from her, FUCK people's expectations, FUCK everyone who expected what she led them to expect, FUCK EVERYTHING. amanda answers to NO ONE. your money is the only tangible thing you spent on her so that's all you get credit for. if you don't accept this then you are obsessive, self-entitled, and a stalker. if you have a problem with this then that's too bad because she has hundreds of thousands of twitter followers armed with hundred dollar hand-painted ukuleles waiting at a moment's notice to form a flash mob- ninja gig, whatever, waiting to purchase her next vinyl and the truth is that they take precedent because THEY ARE THE MEDIA and seriously, you don't matter, but you should be GRATEFUL to not matter because amanda works harder than ANY OTHER ARTIST OUT THERE to connect with her fans. there is no way to prove this but it's true because she likes using twitter and manages to run her business with a small group of people who are involved in the fan community and, luckily for her, are really cool people. it doesn't matter that she has less fans, amanda still appears more connected than other artists, so therefore she makes more of an effort.

.
.
.
.

it took me a long time to write all of that even though it's not much because i still cannot figure out how to say exactly what it is that i want to say but i think that conveys some of it. i think i can stand by all of what i said though (and yes it's ignorant to say things you can't defend). i don't know. but i don't disagree with this thread and i think people are getting way too hung up on the facetious use of the word 'hate' when i think there are more valid things that can be discussed, rather than rehashing over and over how strong of a word hate is. if creating a thread for attention is so fucked up then don't give it attention. right?

^I agree with Jesse completely, Amanda owes us nothing.

'Massachusetts Avenue'?

That song is a fucking gem, Amanda still has it.

hmm, many of the posters in this thread,
hate the word hate as it's used in the thread title

seems a lot like the way amanda uses the word "fuck"
as an intensifier, to get a strong feeling across

anyone else has something substantive to post
about the pros and cons of amanda's recent work?



btw, the 8in8 proceeds were done as a fundraiser

and yes,
"Massachusetts Avenue"
really rocks!!!

your money is the only tangible thing you spent on her so that's all you get credit for.
Out of curiosity, what else would people like credit for?

I don't think AFP is really that different to any other musician. Although, as far as other musicians go though AFP fans get a pretty good deal, meet and greets are free (other artists charge), ninja gigs are free (other artists don't bother) and she is friendly (I have met plenty of artists who are complete bastards).

People perceive her differently because she can share a lot with the public about her private life and the goings on behind the scenes but at the end of the day she is selling a product, not friendship.

Wow.  It is incredibly obnoxious of you to make a thread like this on her own forum, no less.  Creating a thread called 'I hate Amanda' is pathetic.  I don't care if you were trying to 'make it clear' - it would be just as clear if the thread title was 'Why I don't like Amanda's music anymore' or anything suchlike - seems to me more like you are trying to attract attention in case people didn't notice you were back otherwise.  To hate someone, don't you have to know them?  Fair enough, dislike them and their creations but to say you 'hate' them is really primary school of you, you're not unique and edgy by making this thread.  I'm not going to tread around you so you won't be all 'I'm allowed an opinion!11!!' because there are ways to express your opinion in an adult way, and you're acting like a spoiled brat spitting her dummy out.


qft.  there is a lot fo amanda's current activity that doesn't interest me as a fan, but....

this is her board.
rudeness is rude.
attention is available from a variety of positive measures.
discussion is better than blanket statements.

I don't have the means to replace the dressing with anything else.  And if you're going to extend invites, I'm calling the couch!  Or the mattress thing if you still have it.

don't worry we will do you guys up a bed at the end of the night :)
doubt anyone would come

goodnight
