This might be an unpopular opinion but…
Fuck Taylor Swift. I’m so tired of seeing her everywhere.
So unpopular lmao
It isn't as popular as it should be. Hollow pop culture is a disease. Especially when weird pop culture cult figures shovel their cult followers into genocidal/imperial politics with political endorsements, that's the one that really gets me. People die.
More than half of the things I see about Taylor is people hating on her. If you really think she doesn't deserve attention, don't give her attention??
I am not giving her attention as an artist. I am describing the problem with pop culture figures enabling genocide and imperialism, and her actions doing so. It's nonsense to say that if you have an ethical problem with what someone is doing, you shouldn't talk about them - I could name a thousand politicians you'd never apply that logic to.
