Similarly, others may choose to dislike her because they interpret her art as sending a different message.
All in all, if she has something important to say, she's certainly doing a terrible job of it. i think it's ok to dislike her for that. It isn't ok, however, to like her (or dislike her) for saying something she has never explicitly said.
I dislike her for her irresponsible messages of materialism which are extremely explicit in her art.

You really don't know what you're talking about. As cliche as it is she sends a message of "acceptance and love" and I would say that is pretty ****ing important. She's doing an EXCELLENT job of saying that. Maybe it's your OWN FAULT that you can't look past the surface. Look at her speaking at the gay marriage rallies, or being a VIVA GLAM spokeswoman, and preaching to every magazine she's interviewed in USE CONDOMS USE CONDOMS USE CONDOMS USE CONDOMS. She's using her sex for good **** too.
The whole point isn't materialism, and it's foolish to act like you know so much about her when you clearly don't. Even she saidthat the point of it was to make everyone "feel like they're beautiful, dirty, rich" even if they're poor. It's not about having money, it's about being weird, and she's saying she accepts all the weirdos.
Where's Vanilla when I need her
