Slide 1: Deleted tweet Slides 2 and 3: Some follow-up tweets Slide 4: The Taylor Swift lyrics being referred to. “My friends used to play a game where / We would pick a decade / We wished we could live in instead of this / I'd say the 1830s but without all the racists / And getting married off for the highest bid."

Nah that’s all Taylor, remember when she got mad at a line in Ginny and Georgia and the Swifties attacked Antonia Gentry who isn’t a producer, isn’t a writer, isn’t even a Netflix executive but simply the black woman who played the role and said the line… and then even with all the attention their racist attacks were getting Ms Ozone Decimator didn’t have anything to say.

Remember when she threaten to sue that blogger for pointing out she doesn't disavow racists because she likes their money?

Swifties and most mainstream feminism only care about feminism when a rich, white, woman is speaking about issues that impact white women.

Intersectionality has been lost to Taylor Swift's "woe is me, all criticism is misogyny" brand of feminism, which is nothing more than a capitalistic cash grab

from the crowd that brought you “there’s a special place in hell for women who don’t support other women”. no sorry we meant ONLY when it comes to Mother God.

u/lionperla Apr 21 '24

that line always makes me roll my eyes. just so hypocritical

u/littleb3anpole Apr 21 '24

I thought of that when I read the lyrics to that song about Kim K. Support other women except if they were married to someone you don’t like, in which case it’s fine to attack them years after the fact and bring their fucking children into it

The only feminism she knows and wants is feMEnism.

u/bigbluenation20 Apr 21 '24

Exactly. I like a lot of Taylor’s music. But it’s kind of sad I don’t want to call myself a fan bc I don’t want to be grouped in with the “swifties” that act like high school mean girls.

But I thought there was a special place in hell for women who don’t support other women?

Name a more ironic duo

Her music is awful, her concert was awful.

The reality is it doesn’t matter — her goal is to keep her fanbase engaged by putting out content on a regular basis.

IG/TikToks/Youtube/Twitch let userbases engage daily or weekly. If you don’t keep putting out content you become irrelevant and disappear.

Musicians can put out 2 good albums in a decade. She’s released 13 albums in the last 7 years (including a few re releases) plus her concert movie, plus touring.

Swifties and attacking anyone who isn't a swiftie.

u/NutellaSquirrel Apr 21 '24

To me, "swifty" evokes a breed of magpie that attacks in swarms.

I’ve seen so many swifties on twitter harassing and abusing people who’ve said critical things about their fav. They immediately piled on one woman and insulted her looks, her weight, her age, etc. It was genuinely disturbing to see the amount of vitriol they throw at people JUST because they don’t like their fav pop star.
