I'm a huge swiftie. That's not a lie. However Taylor's number one issue in my book is her absolute non-caring for the damage she's done to the planet.

This isn't a coincidence. It's not about stalking. Last week she was caught taking a 40 minute flight, releasing more carbon by herself then most of us do in an entire year.

I love Taylor, but it's shameful that she continues to do this. When she dated Joe the tracker showed she flew back and forth between England and New York on average 3 times a week. A week.

And she doesn't even bother to at least buy offsets or something. She could buy massive swaths of rainforest to preserve to make up for it and it'd barely make a dent. She could replant entire forests.

I love Taylor, but I'm ashamed she's hurting the planet so much without seemingly a care - and now trying to sue the people who expose her for it.

So, how can I help the student? How can I help propegate the Streisand effect? I have VPSes - what do I need to mirror?

Lol all kinds of Republicans working overtime to smear Taylor Swift.

This isn't even news, there were a bunch of articles about this last summer. The Murdochs, Pitbull and Bill Gates all do the private jet thing. I don't see anyone clutching their pearls over what the Murdochs are doing.

I'm pretty sure people complain about the Murdochs all the time? They just focus more on their outright villainy than the times that they're petty, because they have a lot more outright villainy to complain about.

Yeah I guess fully enumerating that cesspit would be a lengthy soliloquy...

It's always so weird to me when swifties have to say "I love Taylor, but..." Like "I love Taylor, but she raped my dog!" "I love Taylor, but she killed my parents!"

At what fucking point do you stop loving her? She doesn't love you. She'd feed you to her private jet to keep it running.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (2 children)

"killed my parents" and "raped my dog" are obvious hyperbole, which means you failed to come up with even one (1) other problem besides the private jet.

Yeah the private jet thing sucks shit, but over the top nonsense in the other direction is not helping you make your case.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

I was taking the piss and I'm not going to research swift, but I hear swifties saying "get your shit together gurl, so I can love you" so constantly that I'm pretty sure that you know some examples off the top of your head.

The private jet thing is so bad it is worth mentioning twice though.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago

Exactly. People can hold two completely separate views of her. I love her music, she makes me feel things. But I can also acknowledge that she's a billionaire now and should be giving back. Those feelings are not mutually exclusive.

I never got the obsession with celebrities. How can you care so much for someone that doesn't even know you exist.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 9 months ago

I think it has morphed over time, in America at least. We used to be obsessed with politicians in our infancy, it's said that Thomas Edison's face was printed onto a blank envelope with no other information on it, left with a mail deliverer, and was successfully delivered to Edison himself some time later. Talk about brand recognition.
