What a shame.
The thing she failed to realise when she left Etsy for her own website is that 90% of what Etsy does is get your product in front of peoples eyes. No one is going to see Stephs social media, where she very infrequently posts any art work, wonder if she sells anything and find her website that way.
Any sales she made on Etsy were either gentle farmers or people who stumbled across her shit looking for something else. She needs Etsy because she has no marketing skills. That post doesn't inspire me to go and buy things from her, she hasn't even attached an image of what she's selling.
She should go back to Etsy, list like $5 dollars worth of listings, (which is like 20 items, btw, she was only spending so much money on Etsy because she had hundreds of things listed), and she'd probably get a sale of two every month from someone who assumes she's retarded.
I ahve no desire to watch an old fat man parading about doing the same old same old now.
Every single time I've seen a recently Marilyn Manson performance he's been strung out, stumbling around the stage and just generally awful.
He makes music for a very specific type of edgelord, which is why Steph likes him. The song is fucking awful, by the way. I went to listen since Steph thinks the music is good enough to support a rapist, and it's dogshite. It's a song written for a guy in his early 20s who has one of those HAHAHA Joker tattoos and tells people he's just kind of dark and fucked up, and you wouldn't like him when he's angry.
Six women have filed abuse lawsuits against him by the way, and there are several other women who's spoken out about how he was abusive, including Evan Rachel Wood. He's also been investigated for domestic violence. The total amount of women who've stated he's abusive is sixteen. Some of those women have stated that he groomed them.
He's also been sued multiple times by former bandmates and musicians for not paying them, as well as charged for sexually assualting a security offer.
(he was implicated as being involved in the death of Keanu Reeves girlfriend, who apparently did a bunch of coke at one of his parties and crashed her car. IIRC her mother stated she was driven home but Manson encouraged her to return to the party, she got into her car and died, which seems to be the one legal case where he didn't actually do anything wrong)
Even if you believe that all sixteen women who have claimed he abused them (which he's suing Wood over, claiming she impersonated FBI officers to get people to say he raped them or something), he's still an awful person. And his music sucks. It was kinda okay in the year 2000 when he was most popular, but now it's just absolute anus sounds.
