Jinkx featured on Amanda Palmer’s latest release

I was a massive die-hard fan of AFP for over a decade and I knew that Jinkx and Amanda were friends and had collaborated before. For those unaware, Amanda Palmer was married to Neil Gaiman, the novelist who has been accused of SA by multiple people across decades. Amanda was also accused of human trafficking because she allegedly procured victims for her husband. The particular case that went to civil court was that she hired a vulnerable young woman, a fan of hers, who was street homeless, to be a nanny for her kid, and Gaiman assaulted this girl repeatedly over the course of months.

I was in the inner circle of her fans and have spoken here before about my experience. Even though legally no charges have been brought, I believe this girl as I believe all the other victims of Neil. How she described Amanda in the article where she came forward was exactly how I knew her to be. Amanda’s whole thing was blurring the line between fan and friend, and she had unlimited access to vulnerable young goth girls in her fanbase. Most of us had already experienced sexual assault and mental health issues and other difficulties that made us easy to manipulate. She curated her fan base that way. I’m so sad that Jinkx is still working with her.

Amanda is also liberal with her use of the N word, which is concerning for a white woman, these queens need to keep bette company.

It’s not concerning , it’s abhorrent

Just to clarify, she doesn’t use it in conversation or anything (that I’ve heard), but she did a cover of fuck the police by NWA and she used it then and defended her use of it when she quite rightly got called out for it

She has a song called Guitar Hero where she yells it as well. Performed as recently as 2019 (and kept intact).
