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.

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

[odetothefool]

i know but music fans these days tend to care about the effort artists put in. including promo projects like this. so i can see why some of them would be wondering why she thought dumping paint on her cd's is creative.

[labovm]

yeah that actually makes sense why they might be mad about that.

[myneckmyback]

no it doesn't

[glitterslugs]

what do they expect her to even paint on them tho? and idt she's doing this out of laziness, she prob thought the splatter effect was cool and now ppl are blowing it way out of proportion like??? it's not like she said she was going to hand paint albums from the beginning, she just randomly did this?
