Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

I really do not understand how she became an ironic leftist symbol, meme or not

[–] happybadger@hexbear.net 55 points 1 year ago (1 children)

She seems like distilled spectacle.

[–] BurgerPunk@hexbear.net 35 points 1 year ago

If capitalism were a pop star

[–] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 49 points 1 year ago

It's so jokerfying how the chuds thinks she's a leftist because she's a billionaire and doesn't want to genocide black people.

To be fair, the frothingfash did started malding so hard that they busted out the "NFL games are scripted like wrasslin'" theory to paint her as some sort of Machiavellian puppetmaster.

[–] Adkml@hexbear.net 17 points 1 year ago

Classic conflict.

On the one hand she sucks but "only" as much as every other billionaire and less then a lot, like at least she's not also using her platform for spreading bigotry but also she's like the poster child for climate ruining personal consumption.

But on the other hand she makes chuds incredibly mad just by existing.

So bad with confusing unintended side effects?

[–] Moonworm@hexbear.net 35 points 1 year ago

She's just really popular in general, so people fit that into whatever way they feel the need to.

i feel like it's only on hexbear i haven't see it anywhere else

[–] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 35 points 1 year ago (3 children)

I've seen people calling her "The only ethical billionaire", so it's not just here

[–] BurgerPunk@hexbear.net 47 points 1 year ago

 "The only ethical billionaire"

Revealing they don't understand how a person becomes a billionaire

[–] GinAndJuche@hexbear.net 7 points 1 year ago

Incredible amounts of cringe, the liberals must be stopped before they lathe “ethical wealth” into the discourse.

https://hexbear.net/c/taylorswift THE ARMY HAS ARRIVED!!! 🗣️🗣️🗣️

[–] aaaaaaadjsf@hexbear.net 22 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

White people. I say this as a white person. Pretty much every second white women loves Taylor Swift, even where I live. Apparently Taylor also alienated a ton of her black fans by dating and writing half an album about a racist guy that went on a cumtown podcast and said racist things. That's what I understand from browsing social media and listening to the first half of her latest album.

Honestly listening to Taylor Swift's latest album was weird. She had a whole song dedicated to calling out the section of her fans that told her to stop dating the racist guy. That level of parasocial behaviour on such a big pop record weirded me out. But I guess that's why she's popular, people want to be invested in the Taylorverse™®

[–] sir_this_is_a_wendys@hexbear.net 8 points 1 year ago (2 children)

How many songs/albums does she have about people she dated? I know that's the most relatable thing to write lyrics about but if like 15 dudes in a row have done you wrong maybe take a look in the mirror?

[–] RyanGosling@hexbear.net 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

She’s made songs referencing that lol. Blank Space is the most popular from her self reflection songs, although it’s supposedly satirizing those sentiments lol. It’s a banger though

That quarterback is going to disappear off the face of earth like most of the previous boyfriends after breaking up

[–] mar_k@hexbear.net 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

i googled it and she's mentioned 12, which isn't crazy for a conventionally attractive woman in her mid 30s who's been famous for like, two decades. and as far as ive heard she's on good terms with more than a few

Well I still don't like her

She had a beautiful song called The Lakes which was ruined by her lyrics referencing twitter beef lol
