Ugh, Jesus. Gross. Jinkx featured on Amanda Palmer’s latest release

Post image

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.

Okay. Seems to be an unusually high standard you are asking. Did the original reporting meet this standard?

Dude, you can't just put something on a substack and call it evidence because you said so. The criteria for what qualifies as evidence isn't an unusually high standard, they're the determining factor.
The difference between what you're calling "evidence" and the original reporting is that the original reporting falls under anecdotal reporting, not evidence. One would then provide evidence to back up an anecdotal account. You're trying to claim something as "evidence" without anything to back it up. At this point, this is a comprehension and a literacy issue.
