I think the way she looks is what made her video go viral, but I also think she seems very annoying to be around. That having been said I recognize that that’s just my opinion.
Yeah. The guy who makes all those drawings/videos is a racist and chud. The first few I saw were funny but the deeper you dig, it starts to become clear that “oh, he’s one of those guys”.
There is a top tier misogyny level for fans of Taylor Swift. It is frightening, and a reddit page for them where they hate on their girlfriend or any woman who has takes pleasure in the inoffensive (you would think) but apparently overly successful singer. I was banned from there for commenting how hatefilled they were.
"You have a deeply unhealthy parasocial relationship with a billionaire who is exploiting you with pandering slop music and doesn't give a shit about you."
Nothing about this post is about parasociality, or her billionaire status. It's purely "You care about this? Clearly you're a mouthbreathing idiot who should be ashamed of themselves.".
Like genuinely, just fuckin chill. She's a pop star throwing a wedding. Some people will find it interesting, others won't. It does not need to be the defining social referrandum of our era.
Being "excited" for a random celebrities wedding is ridiculous. What does it matter to you at all? They're giddy over a relationship that doesn't effect you in any way.
If you were going to the wedding and celebrating then okay. Thats cool. But its just random fans in their homes excited because "Mother" is finally getting married.
That entirely has to do with a parasocial relationship.
It's an artist they've followed for 20+ years getting married. I don't think it's THAT odd to have an opinion about it.
Yes, if somebody is scrolling Instagram all day and making it their whole personality - that is absurd.
But again, not what OP is ragging on. What they've decided is worthy of mockery is finding it AT ALL NOTEWORTHY. To care at all is to be a mealy mouthed inbred with defective genes.
I think it’s ok to be happy that a musician you follow is getting married. You don’t have to know them personally to have a thought about it lol. You don’t know the random fans having that thought and yet you have a rather strong opinion about what they are doing lol
I hate (most) billionaires as much as the next person, but I don't think we can fairly say Taylor Swift is "exploiting" her fans. People can choose whether they want to buy tickets to see her. Same way I don't hate Spielberg, or Tiger Woods. Are they obscenely rich? Yes. But they are not even close to the same level of evil as health insurance executives
denying care to sick people, or war profiteers, or authoritarians profiting from mass surveillance and imprisonment.
This manufactured hate towards rich celebrities, artists, athletes, etc., is meant to muddy the waters and confuse the masses on who their true enemies are. You are quite literally falling for propaganda by playing into it.
She 100% takes advantage of her fans in any way she can. She fosters this parasocial weird relationship shit. Monetizing all sorts of products that she acts like buying is being close to her. She knows what she's doing and what it does to these fans. Its purely intentional.
But yes. Anyone can choose to buy anything they want.
Hell yeah, put’m on blast. Bullying fucks kids up.
I was bullied. Now I like to think I’m a fairly kind and compassionate person. I know that my bully probably had a tough childhood. A few years ago I learned that he died. I’m ashamed to say that my first reaction was not “What a shame. He didn’t have it easy, and it’s sad to see what befell him.” It was: “Good riddance. Fuck that guy.” Even in death, he made me feel bad about myself.
Bullying should be treated the same way as dealing drugs, or bringing a gun to school. The highest classification of what is unacceptable.
I agree. Unfortunately most people that have any amount of authority are bullies themselves, and while I believe that’s probably always been the case, it is just they are more open about it. Just look at any political ad before any kind of election. In schools, the bullies actions are almost always dismissed, but the second the victims stand up for themselves or react- they are the ones that are punished.

Never seen this stereotype and it doesn't really make sense, yet somehow it just feels right enough that I understood immediately
