it would be genuinely great as a bit and also as a honeypot for misogynistic dude bros who couldn’t get over their bullshit. similar to men with irrational hatred for PSL.

more context is from this c/fediverse post about creating more welcoming spaces for women online: https://hexbear.net/comment/3970936

Here is a longer essay I wrote on how Taylor Swift is secretly a dengist (complimentary): https://hexbear.net/post/629974

C/TAYLORSWIFT IS HERE MY BABES & SWIFTIES!!

obligatory copypasta:

Taylor Swift is more than a musician. she is the voice of a generation. She is an idea, a world-historical heroine, light itself.

When people told me they hated Taylor Swift or (far worse) that they were “not swifties,” I wish I had said in no uncertain terms: “I love Taylor Swift. I am in awe of her. I am set free by her. She will be the finest worldwide superstar our galaxy has ever seen.”

I wish, in those exchanges, I had not asked gentle, tolerant questions about a hater’s ridiculous allergy to her, or Taytay’s fictional misdeeds and imagined character flaws. More deeply still, I wish I had not reasoned with anyone, patiently countered their ludicrous emotionalism and psychologically disturbed theories.

I wish I had said, flatly, "I love her. I am gay as fuck for Taylor Swift. I am a big fat dyke for Gaylor.” As if I had been asked about my girlfriend or Fletcher. No defensiveness or polemics; not dignifying the crazy allegations with so much as a Gawker or PinkNews link.

Potential comm rules:

  1. Post must be about taylor swift
  2. No sexualizing / objectifying
  3. Photos of Taylor Swift with socialist quotes overtop of them are encouraged (especially if feminism related)
  4. Gaylor speculation welcome.

    maybe-later-kiddo effective altruism!!!

    Either “there’s no such thing as a good billionaire” or there is. However, we all like some billionaire. What are we supposed to do, sit in a cave and carve the walls up for entertainment?

    This is a tough one. None of this is to say I’m against a comm. I can just keep scrolling, unlike the jackasses that just can’t let something they don’t like go by.

    Most swifties I’ve.met are anti capitalist. Maybe a new pipeline opened?

      I do think this Taylor comm is a funny idea but

      However, we all like some billionaire.

      I can’t think of a single billionaire I don’t hate. When I was a youth I thought Bill Gates and JK Rowling werealright but then Bill Gates turned out to be a Lolita Express riding charter school promoting vaccine gatekeeping freak, and JK Rowling is such a disgusting TERF that she’s retweeting pro-Taliban takes.

      I don’t like some billionaire.
