I never claimed that her, her music, or her fans were treated the same. I absolutely agree that they are not. I had no ill will towards her in any way shape or form before recent news about her private jet usage and her rising to billionaire status. I'm a woman and I defended my cis straight friends who enjoyed her music against the ridicule they saw from other cis straight men in our group. Even if I wasn't personally a fan of her genre of music.

Yes I'm sure there are people who only call her out because she is a woman or popular with young girls. I think most right wing people (who this meme seems to be about) are more calling her out due to her more left wing views. However I still believe she should be called out. Even if people I disagree with are also calling her out.

I don't really think I took it personally. I was simply attempting to respond to a meme that seemed to be defending her, and I had something to say. Nothing in what I said had to do with her music or fans or the state of the music industry for women. It was simply about billionaires being a bs class that shouldn't exist.

I dislike, criticize, and will continue to criticize all billionaires. Including Taylor Swift. Yes she happens to be much more relevant at the moment. That does not mean people rightly calling her out are just hating because she's a woman and popular with teenage girls

 

Hey all,

Having trouble uploading an avatar. Is there some file size limit or something? Thanks!
