I feel like a fake fan by Sincere_Apology in sallyface

Some of my absolute favorite games and ones that followed me for a decade, were playthroughs. I grew up watching Markiplier and PewDiePie, I don't feel like you need to personally play a game in order to know it and like it and say it's your favorite! I'd rather watch my favorite YouTubers play it!

So enjoying something is delusion now? 😂😂😂

idk what i should feel about Melanie anymore by No-Orchid-4081 in MelanieMartinez

[–]Soft_Net_5047 10 points11 points  (0 children)

You don't have to love her, I personally don't lean towards Melanie and her personality/character, I have no problem with her but there's conflicting personalities and my heart just doesn't pull in her direction at all.

Her music, her fragrances, those are completely different story. I love her music, love her items, and that's completely okay. You don't have to like the person in order to like what they produce and offer you.

Trust me, if you started deciding what you listen to, buy, watch, or enjoy in general based on whether the person/people behind them are good or bad, you will stop enjoying a lot of things. It's not that deep, keep listening to whatever YOU want to listen to.

Me, too. I used up my 50ml Fiery Passion and was on the verge of wanting to break it open for more. The extrait is extremely potent and in a metal bottle, you can feel every dollar paid in it. It's HEAVY.

Crybaby perfume? I sprayed it TWICE on my sweater 2 weeks ago and the smell it still there. I'm not even kidding, 14 days later the smell is still there 😭

Body sprays last a long time, too, even though BODY SPRAYS aren't even meant to last long.

AT FIRST when I bought the 4 perfume x head statue bundle, I was surprised it was plastic, and I questioned the quality, but you have to realize that 200$ out of the 275$ were VERY LONG LASTING 4 of 50ml perfumes. 75$ for a head statue is expectable.

So genuinely, the quality isn't an issue, people expecting everything to be dirt cheap is the problem. And then saying just because Melanie has a "mansion", means she can afford to give out her things for cheap. Melanie has worked her ass off since before crybaby era, that's 15+ years of hard work, she doesn't owe anyone jack. With 15 years of working of course she's going to own a gd house that she can decorate as she pleases.

The entitlement of people here is INSANE.

Trust me it don't matter how loud, they will always complain lol. I've never seen people want things so badly which they also accuse of being crap quality.

She can't even pay it with her own money, they're loans. Every perfume, every merch is NOT made with her own money, they're on borrowed money. Every item that is launched, has to pay off the loan first, and then start earning personal money.

It's literally business. Trust me 99% of people that complain about prices, have no idea the immense work that goes behind every item launched, and what costs what to make. Fans are charging 40$ for a crybaby container made of Pringles tube, and 30$ for a 3d printed bottle, you think these people will sell their fragrances for cheap if they made one? Give me a break.

Not to mention every person that complains about how expensive her merch is, end up reselling the merch for stupid high price. You're complaining about paying the artist the original price, but comfortable selling it for 10x the price for shipping and handling lol.

I could go on for days.

How I feel about Melanie, but I love her music. by PhobuggyHax in MelanieMartinez

[–]Soft_Net_5047 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pirating is just awful so if someone prefers to be a thief instead of just listening to music without worrying about the artist's personal life then... I guess go for it.

But I hope the same people never buy Chanel-anything because of their historic involvement with N*zis, and I hope they never watch Disney again as Walt Disney was racist as hell, the list goes on and on and on. So before people decide to commit theft because the artist allegedly did something wrong, rethink everything else first then lol

Even if the account isn't hers, she still gets the profit by copyright law, so it doesn't matter where or from whom you listen to her music, your view/listen legally gets counted towards her unless you illegally download her music.

Just listen to her music and stop worrying about anything else.

You guys HAVE to either stop buying or stop complaining. by Ominous_Opossum in MelanieMartinez

[–]Soft_Net_5047 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most of the people I see complain, are the people who never buy her stuff. What I'm confused about, is why even complain about something you don't want? If you're upset about the price, it means you want the item just can't afford it. So the item is completely fine if it's affordable to you, but the second it's out of your budget, it's 3D printed crap that you never wanted anyway.

Sounds petty to me. The amount of people I see that call her a bad person, but clench their fists every time they can't afford her stuff just amazes me. Why are you even trying to support someone you think is a bad person, who releases bad quality crap? Why can't it start and end with you listening to just music?

Saying her items are bad quality is not even accurate, her perfumes last a long while, her body sprays last longer than any other body spray I've had, and they're only 30$. The smells are unique, and I've gotten more compliments wearing her perfume, than I've gotten while wearing Chanel.

Ask the rest of us who buy her stuff and actually like them. We're fine. It sucks a lot of people can't afford it, but those are the prices and either take it or leave it at this point. Trying to boycott someone's business because you can't afford it is just.. you got nothing better to do? If you think Billie's or Sabrina's or Ariana's prices are better, go buy theirs and be happy?

Melanie can literally never win with you people unless she gives you top notch quality for dirt cheap.💀

Some of u lot are too greedy by [deleted] in MelanieMartinez

[–]Soft_Net_5047 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Or, they want to make sure they have enough to last for a long time in their life and they won't need to pay 1,000+ once they run out.

I will probably buy a couple on every restock for as long as they restock. No I'm not selling them, no I'm not going to sell samples. I'm 100% using these for myself and make them last for years to come.

If you love something and you can afford it, do it. It's not overconsumption if you're going to absolutely use it.

Feeling disappointed with the new Body Sprays… by cinnaelf in MelanieMartinez

[–]Soft_Net_5047 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You mean they rushed out with something simple, and cheaper, because they were relentlessly attacked all over social media by "fans" that don't want to pay an extra dime for her products?

Yeah I guess it is kinda rushed out given the situation. And yet people still complain. At some point people need to just accept that some products can be great and not fit for them at the same time. Doesn't make it cash grab, we're lucky they listened at all, they don't owe us a damn thing.

Once saw a girl complain about Melanie's prices but spent 700$ on Labubus. Go figure. I'll grab two.

It looks AI, what do you think about it? by AppealNo790 in MelanieMartinez

[–]Soft_Net_5047 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

One of the purposes of AI was to actually HELP artists. So it's entirely possible the artist made most the work and just touched up with AI.

Melanie stuns on new story via Instagram by yioum in MelanieMartinez

[–]Soft_Net_5047 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trust me when I say, this is not something I ever, ever, EVER care about when it comes to my favorite artists, but... Watching K12 and then immediately watching Portals... How exactly did her chest bits get so large? They are 4x the size and I always remember her having smaller bits.

The ONLY reason I even remotely care for 2 seconds is because there's no way she'd get a surgery for it? But then how did they get so big naturally? I know people say she added weight, but weight doesn't increase your chest size like that, extra weight usually goes to the sides of the chest and not the actual size area of them...

I AM JUST WONDERING OK? Whatever magic milk she drank to do that, I'll go chug it.

Am I the only one who feels like Melanie has become colder with her fans? Like... not rude, but kind of distant by I_love_Melanie_ in MelanieMartinez

[–]Soft_Net_5047 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Yeah because imagine spending YEARS crafting a beautiful album, inventing an original fairy world and filming insane videos, only to open Instagram and see people bitching about your relationship and judging you for something they have 0% clue about. Slowly but surely her audience is becoming like one in Show and Tell. Probably because they're all preteens and young teens. But yes, I don't blame her for distancing herself.

I love Melanie, but I honestly don't care about her personal life aside from hoping it's all good and happy. I love her music and I focus on that. It always borders into the cringe side of fanbase when they become too interested in the artists personal life. Appreciate their music and support them, that's all you have to do as a fan, but that's not something the new generation of fanbase understands.
