She and her male collaborator have an upcoming concept album called "Evelyn Evelyn", where they pretend to be conjoined twins. Feminists With Disabilities called it offensive, she tweeted a very dismissive response, and the whole thing spiralled from there.
Idk, I think the main aspects of it are kinda tacky and I get the criticism, but at some point you have to be like "Okay, does a goofy side project that's basically an excuse for her and her friend to stick their outfits together and play the accordian demand THIS MUCH outrage on Linkspam?"
Anyway, I always fangirled her music more than her-as-a-person. On the scale of "people I admired who disappoint!" she falls somewhere around Joss Whedon and way lower than, like, TWoP Jacob. ;p
