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
I could be totally wrong, but this meme could be referring to conservatives who (I think) recently went after Taylor Swift for her carbon emissions (idk why, that’s never been an issue for them before)
She is especially in the news right now not because of anything she personally did, but because of who she’s dating. The girlfriends of head quarterbacks are usually sidenotes to a football game, even in cases where they’re famous in their own right (Danica Patrick and Aaron Rodgers comes to mind). Swift isn’t even dating a quarterback, though.
The focus is unusual, and it’s pretty obviously conservatives making her a target.
Swift can go fuck herself as far as I’m concerned, but the idea that her, her music, and her fans are treated the same as men in the industry, their work, and their fans, is demonstrably false and born out of nothing but wilful ignorance and privilege.
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.

We’ve known forever that the best way to get conservatives to agree on something is to first make them hate something
you are correct
Yo I call her out especially because she’s popular, but not who she’s popular with.

so this meme isn’t about you (yet for some reason you took it personally… 🤔)
You not being aware of a thing, doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist:
