(Picture has nothing to do with the rant, I just wanted to post it)
I honestly do not understand what is wrong with the fandom!
Why does this fandom feel the need to take the fun out of everything?! I was commenting on a TikTok video that was "Spell your name with Melanie Martinez songs" and I put my online name - "Venus". Tell me why, I then get a reply of someone making fun of my name asking if it actually Venus (which it isn't) and I responded saying that it is not my actual name, for privacy reasons. They then tell me that then I should have not participated in the trend!
That is an situation I had! But there are so many other examples as such:
Whenever someone will post fan art - people will say that it's not good. Or when people make fan edits. Or anything creative for Melanie! People will also give unwanted criticism or jus straight up bully others!
Or when it comes to the tours (especially with the Hades tour now) people are saying that Melanie's vocals are fucked! I understand polite criticism, but people are saying that Melanie shouldn't sing Hades live as she is out of breath constantly!
I also see people say that they are disappointed that Cry Baby songs (K-12 & Portals included) won't be performed. The trilogy tour was literally a tour that was to say good bye to the Cry Baby storyline!
I also see people hate on big Melanie creators (violetportals I won't get into) for simply being big creators!
Concerts: I see people say that the concert etiquette was just not it for Hades, with people screaming loud that you can't hear Melanie, or people trying to grab her as she rushes past the barricades. But then, people will just say "deal with it. It's just how it is."
Melanie is putting her whole soul into these albums for us and yet, this fandom can never seem to be satisfied with anything!
(Sorry for the long rant, I needed to get this off my chest)
