And yes, it is disrespectful for people who lost loved ones.\u201d It\u2019s fine if you don\u2019t find it disrespectful but you don\u2019t need to say it. I lost my Mom to cancer and she got cremated so it\u2019s offensive to me. I guess it\u2019s to your point of view if you find not\/it is disrespectful. \u2014 fandom crunch (@FandomCrunch) May 17, 2020 Star has since hit back at critics taking issue with the Cremated palette, as stated in a Tweet reply to a fan, where he explained that he\u2019s had the palette trademarked since fall 2019. \u201cPeople are bored and want to be offended by something new,\u201d he wrote. \u201cThe Star Family knows it\u2019s part of my vocabulary, and I\u2019ve had this idea trademarked since September 2019.\u201d love you babe! people are bored and want to be offended by something new. The Star Family knows it’s part of my vocabulary and I’ve had this idea trademarked since Sep 2019. \u2014 Jeffree Star (@JeffreeStar) May 16, 2020 Citing the palette as a \u201cgothic dream,\u201d Star\u2019s collection takes inspiration from such gothic values as embracing the macabre and morbid, finding death to be just another facet of life. However, fans are not as \u201cdeceased\u201d as Star had initially hoped, with many still taking offense over such a name \u2014 or at least, the very release of the product \u2014 during such unprecedented times. https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CATjS3oBH4K\/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link Despite those upset by the product, Star continues to clap back at his critics on social media, retweeting humorous responses and videos from fans in wake of a launch that has seen a rocky reception among makeup lovers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
