Why are people against her being with Marilyn Manson?

Because people felt this Miss Goody Two-Shoes was tarnished by an ugly goth rock freak. I have to admit, it was a bit out of the blue. She didn't give the impression that she would go for a "type" like that. But I'm pretty sure it was just a confusing period in her life.

I'm a big fan of Manson, mostly his 90s work anyway, but that guy is a complete alcoholic and is letting himself go. When you see someone who has potential shacking up with someone who has obviously given up it's natural to want the former to part ways with the latter.
Manson had a ton of creativity and potential but for the last 13 years he's been pumping out garbage, gaining weight and drinking himself into irrelevancy. I hope he turns his life around, but as for Evan Rachel Wood, I couldn't care less about her but I can completely understand people thinking she's better off without Manson.
Last but not least, I have heard a lot of accounts that point to Manson being abusive both psychologically and physically. You don't dress and act and write the way he does without having issues, and a lot of what he says and does is violent and perverse. Like I said, I'm a fan of his work, but he's obviously a tortured soul and probably not the best relationship partner, especially for someone as young as she is.

Y'all might not find this funny, but generally when people say things like, "Oh, Manson's a junkie?"; "Oh, Manson's abusive?"; "Who da beep is Marilyn Manson?", it just reminds me how old I am. But, in the case of the young posters on this forum, I was prepared for the "generation gap". See, we used to take turns bringing CDs to work; I brought a Marilyn Manson one. A co-worker said to me, "Woah. Who is that?". I couldn't comprehend this, because - as anyone 30 or older can tell you - Marilyn Manson was a HUGE pop culture icon for years, starting with their 3rd single & video. According to Manson [sorry if this is getting confusing, but for those of you that don't know, "Marilyn Manson" is Brian Warner's stage name AND the name of the musical group which he is the lead singer of], they had so many covers, remixes, and other "sonic projects" for the above mentioned single, that instead of releasing their 3rd single by the
name of the single,
Dope Hat
, it was named
Smells Like Children
, and the video released from this EP
also
wasn't the actual 3rd single, but another song, a cover of the Eurythmics track
Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This)
.
Their second album was
Antichrist Superstar
, which had the huge single
The Beautiful People
. But, as lotsofevil said, "I'm a big fan of Manson, mostly his 90s work anyway, but that guy is a complete alcoholic and is letting himself go." My only addition would be that he's a massive cokehead as well. That, and the Wikipedia entry for Marilyn Manson's 3rd trip to Edmonton had absolutely NONE of the paraphernalia/stage design described in the article. And no, there wasn't
different
decor there was
NOTHING
on the stage, except for the 5 musicians, a girl that stood near the rear of the stage, handing Manson water bottles every time he beckoned her, and Manson's 3 chins and big ol' gut. Other than that, white lights on a 100% white stage. Woo-hoo.
Oh, and my co-worker. I replied, incredulously, "You're serious? You've NEVER heard of Marilyn Manson? When were you born?" "1990" (which made him 22 at the time, and me realizing I was a 35-year old man trying to be a 22-year old).

I'm currently reading his biography and by his own words, he's faaaaaarrrrr from a nice guy. Self-centered, delusional, sadistic, evil are the first things that come to mind.
There must be something inherently psychologically wrong with any woman who would have a long-term relationship with him. -

Funny. I seem to be the only one the felt the opposite. I didn't think she was good enough for Manson. I don't mean that in a mean way. But I'm a fan and I could see him with Dita and McGowan. But this I never got. She's not even his type. I like her and all, but it didn't make sense to me.

I think people were bothered because when she started dating him she changed her whole look. She started looking A LOT like Dita Von Teese, and before that she had never dressed that way (very dark hair, very pale skin, certain types of clothing) and never gave any inkling that that was a way that she would like to dress. I think people thought maybe he was influencing her to change herself for him. Which is never a good thing in a relationship. I'm not sure what the deal was though when they broke up she pretty much went back to blonde/red hair and not so much of a "goth" look. Maybe she was going though a time when she wanted to change things up and experiment with her looks, etc

It's funny to me that of all the reasons given, I haven't seen anyone say it was because Dita Von Teese cited Manson's relationship with Evan Rachel Wood as being one of the reasons she filed for divorce because she felt their relationship was "inappropriate." Manson has said he was only "friends" with Evan while he was married, and I find that highly unlikely due to the fact that once his divorce was final all of a sudden he realizes his "love" for his "friend" Evan.
I am a fan of Manson (I'm 32, so I was around when he was such a huge icon), and I liked Evan in quite a few of her films but I lost interest in Manson's music when everything became about their relationship. I lost respect for Evan while she was with Manson because I felt she was a home wrecker. Manson lost my interest when he was with Evan because I felt his music suffered and all he wanted to do was flaunt his relationship with Evan. -

Why's everyone picking on Manson so hard. He has a lot more to say that a lot of artists these days. And I personally think he's a great song writer. Just because it's not your thing doesn't mean you have to call it bad. Music isn't black and white.

Because it was creepy and weird. She turned into this weird Goth caricature. He was all like "Every time she doesn't pick up the phone, I cut myself". I mean guys, grow up. They were both weird. I feel bad for Jamie Bell.

THIS. It's the fact that they pretty much acted like that annoying eighth grade emo couple who claim they'll die if their partner so much as glances at someone else. They both seemed a bit pretentious.
The "Heart Shaped Glasses" video was just disturbing to me the first time I saw it. Manson looked like he was taking advantage of Evan. Also, all those fake orgasmsSTOP.
