She’s such a flop not even the edited versions of the Vatican could save her, it’s not even the weekend yet
Back down we go, love this era for her it’s well deserved and I know she’s crashing out over how nothing is working and her high expectations from the last era set her up
Piggyback is officially on Melanie’s tik tok.
“Personal vent song” my ass. It’s free range when she’s losing attention & interest & needs her fans talking about her again, & she chooses to use her allegations that she was suuuuuuchhh a victim of to do it. The desperation is PATHETIC.
She really seems to be on this “bad press is good press” run. Girl can’t depend on creativity she no longer has, she’s so lazy these days she’s gonna make boring cringy shock value songs like the Vatican, and then bait her fans using the same allegations she’s been avoiding like a coward to get them talking. She’s actually such a loser.
Her fans would always claim it was Timothy who would never let Melanie live this down & wanted attention, yet she’s been quiet this whole era & now Melanie is using something she avoids talking about like a pussy and claims she was the victim of so people can keep talking about her.
Ageplaying fantasy album and SA, oh Melanie that’s all you’ll ever be known for & your legacy & she knows it
Not gonna post it, but I saw a tweet that summarizes what most MM fans believe about her & why they defend her. It’s a very common argument, said in different ways, such as:
“She’s always seemed kind and loving, she doesn’t seem like this person (her victim) claims”
“Just Look at her, how could this angel hurt anyone?”
“Look at what she stands for, no rapist would stand for human rights or call out bad people”
“She’s beautiful no one who looks like this is hurting anyone, it’s jealously”
In arguing this, they forget how often, abusers put on fronts & are able to manipulate others with their charm, looks, & personable traits. It’s actually VERY often used against their victims by them as well. Famous Abusers specifically, will carefully & strategically act calm, speak with sophisticated language that isn’t typical for them ( Because their PR team is helping them make statements) and then use things such as activism or even spiritually to play the role of a righteous & grounded person. Ex. Look at how people like Russel Brand re-branded to Christianity a little bit before he was accused and later, found guilty for sexually assaulting multiple women.
They do this while their victim, usually not a famous person, is branded as crazy, jealous, and looking to lie for emotionally reacting not just to them having a vulnerable moment speaking out about their story, but also their abuser now calling them a liar, their fans calling them a liar, & using their emotional reactions (normal when talking about RAPE.) & genuine statements against them.
By genuine statements, I mean victims like Timothy, who did not have a PR team or label to back her up & help her make carefully worded, controlled statements involving public relation professionals whose job it is to control the opinion of the masses by making sure what they hear & read doesn’t offend nor upset them or get them to side with the person/label who’s running their checks.
Melanie’s statements involve a PR team behind her. MOST of what she says isn’t genuine. It’s controlled and approved. Timothy however, her statements & her pain comes from her. Not someone behind her re-writing statements for her or telling her what to say and post.
Anyway, the point is, Melanie’s “kind and loving” persona is crafted & strategic & solely for her brand, & her fans STILL don’t get that. What she posts is controlled. That’s what makes them so easily susceptible to her manipulation. Abusers know how to manipulate and what to do to keep people unsuspecting. They know how to throw their victims emotions & pain back in their face.
Famous abusers benefit and depend on their victims lack of PR training & help from a PR team behind them.
If MM fans seriously believe personality traits make someone not an abuser & isn’t something that can’t be faked or put up for show, then a lot of them will be getting manipulated by & siding with abusers in their own lives or becoming the victims themselves. Rape culture & upholding it is a vicious cycle, they are only creating more victims & putting themselves at risk of becoming one (or being victimized again)
I’m laughing so bad why are her fans in the comments acting like she’s the one winning something or being recognized for HER music 😂 all she’s doing is presenting with other khias to announce the actual musical winners who’s music was recognized & hand them their awards
She’ll present and everyone will forget her boring uninteresting presence again once it’s over
Do they realize most stores are playing music from an employees personal playlist? It’s not the company choosing it these days. No Daiso doesn’t love Melanie, the Brazilian employee (Brazil is home to a bunch of her fans) probably does tho
“Hades you did it!” And it’s just an employee who was given the aux for the shift
The artist on Instagram posted her look in 2024. Based on what I could find and tell, she seems like the original source of this look. There’s been a couple of other copy cats not crediting her, and it seems like Melanie might end up being one of them
Only time will tell if this artist is credited for her creativity in this spread, or a popular artist is gonna pass it off as her own.
It’s an exact rip off too
Slayyyter and Raye getting features and interviews with billboard while everyone forgets about Tankdes.
Slayyyter being the smaller artist getting her recognition & Raye being an entirely independent artist & successfully breaking into the mainstream without a label
Hades really made no noise
Singing about world issues =/= good music
People can sing about world issues, and it can still be shallow, juvenile & corny writing. The theme & message doesn’t automatically mean it’s a good song. It can be lyrically & sonically sound bad regardless of the message. If message was really an indicator of “”good”” music, then we would be losing the art and skill of music
lol
I didn’t want to directly share their post, which is why the username is cut out. The criticism is not directed at them of course!
This is insane. To not only send a fan a dead animal and apparently not thinking twice about it and them not be able to decide if they can consent to being sent that, but the fact that this animals dead body was also improperly packaged to the point it arrived damaged with its head detached???
The lack of care & the disrespect is so clear. Melanie really used this animal for her aesthetic & put that first, not just over the animal that she desecrated but also her fans? Like yes, what if a child received it? What someone against taxidermy got this? Who wouldn’t have received this well, got this? I’m sorry but thinking sending a dead animal is okay just because you like it, is very self absorbed. I LOVE taxidermy, it’s on my wall, however some people do not
I know her fans are defensive of her first, but she is an adult. She is capable of doing research, she is capable of critically thinking about her actions. And yes, I say HER actions. This is not just her team. It’s insane to send strangers a dead animal and not think about their consent or giving them the option to, period.
This was definitely Melanie’s idea & her “creativity” & her team just helped her execute it, & she definitely took part in these packages that are limited & involved her input & participation directly. It’s not merch, it was intimate packages she helped put together.
For someone who claims to act with empathy, care & so aware & enlightened she really could not give less of a shit about how her fans could potentially feel, or so much as put effort in respecting a dead animals body. Her aesthetic & shock value & quirkiness comes first.
Her promoting the use and therefore purchase of one of the most unethically and illegally sourced specimens was already bad, the fact it was sent so poorly packaged & without care that its head was detached from its body…. Wow.
Girl and her team thought it was a good idea to send just ANYONE a dead animal? Does she think this is so creative & quirky to just send a dead animal to a stranger to promote her music but also promote the use and purchase of one of the most unethically sourced taxidermy specimens???
For those unaware, a fan of hers got a REAL taxidermy specimen of a bat sent to them, to promote her song “Batshit Intelligence”.
Why is this an issue she’s probably going to ignore, like she always does when she does wrong?
The fan of course was upset, disgusted and uncomfortable. This is why it’s never a good idea to just send anybody taxidermy, especially with no warning. I love taxidermy, but not everyone does. Some people are just uncomfortable with it, some are afraid of animals, & some become so distraught at the sight of a dead animal. You cant just send a dead animal & expect the stranger who had no clue they are about to receive said specimen, to be totally okay with it. The idea of sending REAL taxidermy to promote your album to random strangers is INSANE and shows a lack of care & disrespect not just the animal but also the person you are sending them to?
And a lack of care to do the most simplest research. Obviously Melanie is into taxidermy right now only for the shock value it brings her current era and aesthetic, not because she cares to do research or respects the art/honors the animal.
Taxidermy bats, 10 times out of 10, are always unethically & illegally sourced. It is a huge no no in this community and the simplest google search on taxidermy bats would’ve told her that.
Sites like Etsy even banned the sale of taxidermy bats due to how 99% of the time, they are killed purposefully to become specimens or sourced unethically outside of the US to go around laws protecting them. She more than likely didn’t get it “secondhand” or is the 1% that so happened to get an “ethically sourced” bat. Seeing as she couldn’t bother to think for a second why this could be a bad idea, she most likely bought it from a retailer/dealer.
“But what if
the dealer said it was ethically sourced & lied?”
Easy, I still don’t buy it. I don’t need a bat so bad to risk participating in poaching practices & encouraging dealers to do it more. Even using the bat(s?) for her promo is her promoting the purchase of these unethically sourced specimens and poaching, as bats are the most likely specimen to be sourced that way. Girl is allergic to the most bare minimum research & also just having some decorum. It’s crazy to send a dead animal to a random fan, period.
This is not me insulting how she looks, I think regardless if she’s editing she looks just fine, however I think the potential editing brings into question if she really thinks highly of herself
Looking back at the recordings of the chamber events, it’s really raising my suspicions. Her body looks more realistic, natural, proportional, like how she looked back in the bakery (minus boob job)
Versus her Instagram stories where we suddenly see a slim hourglass figure that doesn’t exist in these untouched (out of her control) recordings, like in that one instagram story that was clearly body checking, starting it out zoomed in on her torso so randomly.
Second thing, there was a tik tok not too long ago by a fan of hers talking about a different instagram story (she was recording herself in her mirror) and they pointed out there was a moment where she turned her head back to her phone and her eyeball went fully white then her cornea suddenly appeared when she finished her head turn. Her fans, as naive as most of them are, thought it was an “Easter egg” or “circle” but to anyone who’s been on social media forever, they know a filter when they see one.
But of course, she hides the use of a filter (a face sliming and blurring one) by recording herself, putting the filter on, downloading it then reuploading it so the filter link doesn’t show.
What do you guys think? I think she’s definitely using filters and editing her body in pics and videos she CAN control vs more commercial recordings. I’m kinda neutral on this, it’s not the biggest deal but I know some may feel like it’s very deceitful and harmful considering there’s so many young girls that look up to her & the obvious body checking she’s done. She’s become very obsessed with how her body looks and using it and I’m wondering if her experience with both her fans (yeah Stan twitter knows no bounds, her own fans as we know are pos) and the general public during portals rewired her brain.
I also just think its necessary to bring up when her fans constantly use her body and looks to insult those criticizing her bad actions when she’s most likely editing herself. Again, she’s not ugly, she’s just an entertainer with the money and time to be a little deceitful
So how many of these streams aren’t genuine listeners??? Do they realize they are just making her look worse… they gotta use multiple accounts to help her? This really is a humiliation ritual
Obviously this is from January so I’m not sure what the daily streams looks like now, but damn, Melanie will never be able to separate herself from crybaby. Her fans are really out her forcing themselves to listen to hades & many of them clearly prefer 2015 tumblr nostalgia over “art”
Imagine starting to get out streamed daily by Slayyyter. And of course online fans are butthurt and coping that they have to resort to using crybaby streams and songs to insult Slayyyter when really, it’s so embarassing that Melanie can’t hold herself up with her current work, cuz they don’t want to listen to it and prefer crybaby, that they HAVE to bring up crybaby. Raye already hit 1 billion streams since the March 27 release, and is still in the billboard 200. And yes Melanie had promo & yes she had radio play.
Her fall from grace
Such a new low for them. Imagine using a virus that can literally go full pandemic mode on us again, that has already killed people, & can kill lots more, those being our vulnerable populations.
Just yo make your favorite artist and her lame shitty album trend and get her streams. So pathetic & embarrassing. This is why I think Melanie’s music moreso trivializes serious situations like this just for entertainment & for her 3deep5u edgy concepts , if it were awareness her fans would know this shit isn’t funny, but they are so desperate right now.
Melanie just went below 14 million
She’s at 13.9 followers now
During portals she was at 14.5, she’s been slowly losing hundreds of thousands & this album rollout shows how many people are losing interest
Portals doesn’t have a clean version either yet it did just fine & didn’t struggle like this album.
Why can’t they accept Hades is just a bad album
Bye Tankdes
at this rate her fifth album will only last 1 week, 2 max. Or will it even make it to the billboard 200? What are your predictions
She’s done, this album was a hard flop. 11 million debut, just to PLUMMET to 1.6 million streams. Slayyyter continues to remain consistent at 1-2 million & Raye is still staying above 5 million.
Melanie’s fans hyped & streamed farmed her to 11million & #3 debut, just for them to show how much they actually care about it. From #3 to #169..
I think stream farming her to number 3 just for her to make these numbers is what makes this so much more embarrassing, but that’s all her fans know how to do.
Uncanny valley under 100k…I would not be surprised if Crybaby songs are making more streams, shes coming down from her peak, its over
Finally posted her, and then moved on so quickly. Prob were tired of all the crybaby wailing in the comments from 6th grade girls & 20+ year old dudes 😂 they said here shut up now & moved on
