I mean its a $10 collectors item its not like she's asking $50 for it or more. its less than buying the album in stores.

Am I missing something? Why the hell would they be mad at this? This new generation of stans are weird as fuck.

I think they bring up a decent point about scamming but their anger is over the top.

[boomstick]

What point? The CDs are only $10, what am I missing?

Probably just pissed that they couldn't get their hands on one tbh.

I think the term “backlash” used seems over the top but some of the tweets so bring a point about anyone being able to replicate this and scam people.

The backlash isn't listed in the post, they're angry bc she just threw paint on some CD covers instead of, idk, painting each one individually.

Their reaction seems silly though because it’s not she’s forcing to pay 10 bucks for it.

It’s lazy merch at best.

i figured this was it. tbf to fans throwing a bucket of paint onto a bunch of cd's does sound kinda lazy. even in theory.

[veal]

But she’s not selling them for any more than regular non-splattered cds…

[kriskross]

I thought she would be like charging $100 by the tweet reactions but $10? This is kind of cool if you're a fan.
