Emilie Autumn is fucking crazy By messybuu in messybuu's Diary Tue Oct 11, 2011 at 07:52:35 PM EST Tags: Emilie Autumn, Music, Narcissism, Plagiarism (all tags)
	I like Emilie Autumn; that should be clear from my diary entry in which I described a situation at Starbucks that ended with me fucking two hot baristas at the SAME TIME. But goddamn, she needs to get over herself. First, she claims Lady GaGa ripped off the wheelchair as a prop idea from her, and now she thinks Suckerpunch ripped off her book in a tweet.

>Dearest Plague Rats, after receiving over 1000 letters (and counting) about the film SuckerPunch, I feel just a bit obligated to make some sort of a statement: The varied authors of these many letters are very kindly writing to inform me of their belief that SuckerPunch (great title, isn't it) is largely based on my book, The Asylum For Wayward Victorian Girls, that was written and publicized long before this film was written and made. I want to make clear that I do not know this to be true. I have never seen the film, nor do I plan to, primarily because I've been told by enough trusted sources that it is embarrassingly bad, and now because, after all I've heard about its possible plagiarism issues, I'm afraid it will make me upset, and I don't have time for that kind of negative energy right now. I can assure you however that my attorney takes all reports and claims of plagiarism, whether in a book, film, or performance extremely seriously, and will actively looks into this and any other such reports and do whatever it is that needs to be done. I also want to thank all of my Plague Rats very sincerely because you've proven to me time and again that you always have my tail, as I always have yours:). I've never seen Suckerpunch, but I'd bet my life any similarities are vague and commonplace in fiction. I'd assume the threat of lawyers is empty because she doesn't make much, if any, money from her shows, and she hasn't released a new CD in over seven years (though she's always teasing us with a new one). Yet, that she would even pretend to consider legal action against a movie she hasn't even seen just because some morons in her fan base claim it's a ripoff is ludicrous.  Consider the options: Spend 2 hours watching the movie or spend hundreds of dollars having lawyers waste their time to reassure you that there is no plagiarism. What's more sensible? It's stupid shit like this and her pitiful attempts to get the attention of celebrities on Twitter that make me lose respect for her, which sucks because I love her, both as an inspiration and as a woman I would like to do many things to.
