[any_contingency] Subject: The fan base Time: 03:03 pm Current Mood: annoyed

Okay, I have to admit from the start, I am a fan of The Dolls, and a remote acquaintance of the bandmembers. That being said, I don't really like their shows.  You see, earlier in the bands life, I didn't make it to so many shows as I'd've liked, but when I did make it, the atmosphere was different. Better. I seem to remember the crowd would perceive "audience participation" as involving more than swaying and playing karaoke at the top of their lungs. Maybe my memory is deluded by time, but the current crop of fans are so boring. As I recall, the Dolls played a show with The World Inferno Friendship Society a few years back, and the Dolls fans spent days afterward bitching about the mosh pits on the Dolls forums, blaming it on the Infernites. I say, fuck 'em. And I swear to god, if one more of them screams "YOU KNOW AMANDA?" at me, I'll kill them. She and I are not close. I don't have her number. I can't get you her used panties. Please fuck off. Thank you.

Hello all! Wow, look at all the activity my little commmunity has generated. I am shocked, because I haven't visited this thing in like a year. It's not hard to make a community on LJ. It took me 15 minutes like a year ago. You people have all spent more time here in the last year than I have, so please stop going on about how much one must hate someone to go and make a community about it. You don't have to hate someone very much at all! You don't have to expend much effort at all! the future is here! we have the internet! it's easy to criticize these days! This is why we have "flame wars." But thank you, all you DD fans, for keeping our community alive. Without you, we'd have probably gotten bored by now and left here. but now we get your comments to keep us entertained. Caught a few seconds of the DDolls in March - they were the band on after a band I wanted to see @ Stubb's BBQ. They sounded even WORSE than they did in the good old days. That bombast mixed with that volume. Ouch. Anyway, thanks for your continued support, DD fans! See you next year. In the meantime, I will continue my life being rich, famous, well loved and posessed of better things to do. ta!

i like the dolls. but others hate them. this isnt the 1st hate group formed against and band. so why are the fans getting all upset and getting in on this? the only reason i read some of this stuff is for fun, and the fact that i enjoy arguing. its not that offensive if people hate a band you like. it happens all the time. and some people enjoy ranting about stuff they hate. let the haters hate, and creat websites. chill out fans.

I would like to apologize for the fans that seem to do nothing but repeat the same message over and over. Im very a big fan of Amanda and Brian, but I can respect and understand their music is NOT for everyone. No band has everyone in the world like them, no matter how great they are, and I salute you guys for speaking out. Keep up the freedom and keep up the hate. And again, sorry for the repeat "dont you have anything better to do?" posters...

You stupid fucks hate the dresden dolls. How fucking dare you even make  a forum like this? I know you probably all have your pants down looking at the computer a little after ten at night right after your parents go to sleep. You obviously love this band deep down inside you cause who would waste their time making this!? You know that you're going to die right? Why are you wasting precious life doing this? You all deserve to fucking be wasted.

Honestly, why the hell are there more FANS involved in this forum than those that express dissent towards the Dresden Dolls? I mean seriously, I'm STILL being amused by the responses I've seen. I thought I'd get flamed for a while, but Hell's bells, I don't even remember when I put that drawing up. And I still see things going on. What gives? Trust me, if I really disliked Amanda Palmer, I wouldn't be doing these drawings. In fact, I don't even care that she has armpit hair. I personally think it's gross, but the bottom line is that it's HER body, and she can do whatever she damn well pleases. The more power to her! No, the ones I dislike are the rabid fans that have nothing else better to do than try to put me down, or tell me things I ALREADY KNOW. About Amanda putting my drawing on their website; it's awesome that a band can laugh at such STUPID CRITICISM. Trust me, I've seen much worse, less talented "artists" who have their fans hack people's LiveJournal accounts. Is it right for an artist to "scream" online (type in all caps and use lots of exclaimation points like angsty teenagers who are mad because their mommies won't let them color their hair the way they so desire) and demand her fans hack people's LJ accounts? You can have your opinion, but I have mine, and I think it's ridiculous. More power to DD for doing what they will.

[princessjo3] Current Music: The Dolls, of course Current Location: NYC Subject: The Dolls.... Time: 11:39 am Current Mood: pensive

I stumbled upon this website through the Closet and Hate Mail section of the Dolls website and found some of the entries both in the Hate Mail section and on this website interesting enough to provide responses. The Dolls are not named after the family from Flowers In The Attic. The family name was Dollanganger. For further proof you can check out the family tree at: http://www.completevca.com/lib_doll_tree.shtml If you don't like the Dolls because of a personal relationship with the members (Amanda and Brian) then that's cool, but does it really matter to the rest of the population? Are we ever going to be able to sit down and actually talk to A or B? Fans represent a liking to the music, not necessarily the people making it. Anyone who doesn't like the Dolls because Amanda doesn't shave her armpits is just being petty. Although I'm sure you have the world's greatest hygiene. If I believed there was a hell I would agree with the person who posted stating you were going there. A lot of people have also posted that the meanings behind songs are bizarre, weird, or sending the wrong message. To this I say, there are a lot of lyrics out there that are questionable. If you don't like the lyrics to a song, it's quite simple, don't listen to it. As far as Amanda and Brian censoring what they say because of who might listen to their music, it isn't Amanda and Brian's responsibility to make sure vulnerable young people don't hear their music, it's the parents or caregivers of said young people. Didn't we learn anything from Eminem a few years ago? I have to agree with the person who stated that the ad hominem argument should be defunct. Attacking the people who listen to the Dolls is not a reason to not like the Dolls. If you just don't dig the Dolls music, that's cool, but telling people who do that they have nothing better to do than make entries on this website or that they are bitches or mutant or rabid, is just ridiculous. What happened to spell-check? If you are going to post where a lot of other people are going to read it (and you want to be taken seriously) you might want to either re-read your post for spelling and grammar mistakes or use smaller words that are easier to spell. These websites might be helpful http://www.m-w.com or http://www.dictionary.com. There is also a nifty little button at the bottom of this page you can click on to do the spell checking for you! Amazing! As for the police issues that Brian has or has not been involved with, again I refer you to Eminem and others that also have police records of some sort. Did everyone stop listening to R. Kelly? How about watching Kobe play ball? Just something to think about. Finally, I'd like to say that if you've read this far, thank you. I like the Dolls music, they put on an awesome live show, and I'll continue to be a Dolls fan regardless of what I read about them. Their personal lives intrigue me less than the anticipation of what the new album will hold in store for me.

I'm just very interested in what this community values as good music. I admit it, I'm a Dolls fan, but I like other music too, my iPod ranges from Yo-Yo Ma, to Avril Lavigne, to Queen and System of a Down. What does this community feel is good music, and why is it such a big deal to hate on music/bands you don't like?

One good reason to not listen to the Dresden Dolls' music, or at least not buy there albums. This is from the New York Times: "Dresden Dolls drummer Brian Viglione has been convicted of up to three counts of rape and battery. Three girls aged from eleven to fourteen have made charges against him. He is said to have met them at concerts Children were able to attend, and followed them home. He is expected to show up in court April 1. It is not yet known how this will effect his current concerts. When questioned about these assaults he referred to Stacie Carrad, an 11 year old victim of the rapes, that she was just being a "promiscuous slut," and said it was his "male right to exercise his sexual desires." He also said similar things about the other two victims, Diane Rice aged 12, and Danielle Tate aged 14. Sorry I couldnt quote the full article i couldnt stomach the rest that is about the investigation, i suggest you find it yourself and read it.

I think it's great that you guys hate the Dresden Dolls so incredibly much you can talk about it to each other. Because of course this is going to stop them. Them, who have more talent than any of you (yes even the amazing artist) have in one hair follicle. And every time you guys rant, it sends giggles to my heart, because you have absolutely nothing to rant about. You sad, sad, interdependent "people". That's all for now.
