Yeah,
that was GREAT! I mean, what's a little crip-drag amongst artists? Did you see how she went on Aussie TV to make fun of the disabled feminists for having the misguided, silly temerity to be offended by her behavior and point out that it was wrong? Yeah,
that was fun, too. And
edgy.
I also love that one time she tried to put Lady Gaga down for the product placement in that one video with Beyonce by tweeting,
"ironic product placement is only ok if you take no money & beyond that give all the income to something ironic. like the Klan." Y'know, 'cos the Klan is so ironical. And
edgy.
Oh oh, and what about that time she found a Katy Perry lookalike to
rape in effigy on stage with Margaret Cho (WTF, MARGARET CHO?!).
WARNING: That link is extremely NSFW, possibly triggering, really disturbing, and downright disgusting - particularly when you take into account the fact that Palmer has previously touted herself as a survivor. BUT HEY! It's OKAY! She was doing it in support of gay marriage! How ironical. And
edgy.
Allow me to do my highly accurate Amanda Palmer impression, if you will:
OMG U GUISE!
LOOKIT MEEEE! OMG. I'M SO NONCONFORMIST, AND, LIKE, QUIRKY AND STUFF! IT'S ART! ALSO
I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU THINK! OMG.
YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW ME. LIKE, I'M SORRY YOU'RE OFFENDED,
BUT THAT'S YOUR FAULT! GET OVER IT. WAIT. WHY'D YOU STOP LOOKING AT ME? LOOOOOOOKITMEEEEEEEE!"
Ugh. Just...ugh.
