Do you have links to the interviews or whatever it is that you are referring to about Amanda Palmer and her remarks on KKK, feminism, and rape?

I thought the interviewer was the one asking questions in an inappropriate and untactful manner!
AnonymousWhich interview exactly are you referring to? Just curious.
Amanda likes to shock, and she's a really impulsive sort of person, I think. This, of course doesn't excuse anything, but who of us has never said anything problematic?

Yeah, I don't really think those issues are very recent either... But I love Amanda Palmer. I don't think she is perfect - I think she's a hot head, and should probably think a little more before she speaks, but she is an incredible artist. A genius, really. Also, she is a rape survivor herself, and has had an abortion (she addresses it in a piece she wrote for the Huffington Post) - I think people misunderstood what she wanted to say with "Oasis".

I think most of what she said was meant jokily and obviously with the rape and stuff, she has her own background with it all so wouldnt mean it offensively or anything, however, she is occasionally is a little tactless in the way she says things. But they are often taken out of context

the fact that the issues are not recent anymore and dont' need to be dug back up
AnonymousAnything that’s happened in the last five years is recent to me. I understand if you feel differently, but I just asked for people’s opinions on the subject, you don’t have to get all defensive just because I implied that Amanda Palmer is not a perfect human being.
Hey guys, what are your thoughts on the recent remarks Amanda Palmer has made about feminists, the kkk, rape and such?
I’d really like to know.
“And when I let him in, I feel the stitches getting sicker,
I try to wash him out, but like they say, the blood is thicker
I see my mother in my face, but only when I travel
I run as fast as I can run
But Jack comes tumbling after
And when I’m brave enough and find a clever way to kick him out
And I’m so high
Not even you and all your love could bring me down
On eighty third, he never found the magic words to change this fact
I’m half Jill, and half Jack”
I seldom think about my father, but this song always brings out some resentment in me.
