Like I’m generally a Taylor hater n a famous people hater, but I’m trying to be better at examining my own sexist biases lately

you don't have to like taylor, but you can't rly deny the large amount of sexism she's faced during her long career

It’s sux cause I feel like it’s both being used to shield her from criticism and an actual problem that needs to stop at the same time which is why I think it’s sort of relevant to point out that just the like general criticism of her popularity and her music being heard is largely unproductive. Not in the sense that her music can’t be criticized, just that the knee jerk reaction being haha I hate Taylor poopoo stinky is sorta like… okay you’re so cool and special I guess slay quirky

I can see that yeah. It's like I told you, there's lots you can criticize her for, the amount of limited edition records is one of them imo it is excessive, but then at the very least hold other people accountable the same way? I feel like things very often get blown up bigger when it's her rather if it was other celebs, if that makes sense

Yeah and because it blown up bigger for her people feel justified in saying that playing into the hyperconsumerism is invalid… gonna be for real tho im so out of tha loop i didnt even know she was doing that… but like Martie said thats literally just kpop stan culture which is what Taylor is doing pretty much ig…

shes kinda evil

Yeah but so are every celeb and rich person n the targeting on Taylor specifically is so sexist it’s getting kinda tired

i guess, im not celebrity cultured enough to know whos getting targeted or not
i read the current backlash more as people getting increasingly class concious now considering the state of the world and all, but maybe thats naive

i avoid social media at all costs so i guess that helps with the avoiding part

she has some bangers but from what i've heard especially with the shenanigans involving her new album, she doesn't seem like that good of a person shrugs

taylor is known for putting a shitton of easter eggs abt upcoming stuff in a lot of things she posts like her music videos, pictures etc etc so "swifties" are always looking for em

I think yes that’s part of it but it wasn’t really the vibe I got from op at least the opening post n also sarcastic response to Lenny so eeeeh
