Why are people trying so hard to get Taylor Swift lumped in with those other goons? Yea ok she has high ticket prices but at least she has a real job. The rest are actively trying to destroy democracy and the working class.

She's a woman. It's just misogyny. She actually does her best to make sure the folks who work for her are taken care of.

The fact that all the wealthiest in the world are mostly awkward straight white dudes who don't give a fuck about anyone but themselves probably hits too close to home.

If not Taylor, it would be Oprah or some shit.

She’s still fucked up. Especially in relation to absurd usage of private jets and questionable carbon offset tokens.

But yes, most of the hyperfixation on her is way overblown and reeks of misogyny.

Do you have ANY idea how many celebrities do the same? How many CEOs?

People are clamoring on this one thing about her because she's a woman and she's wealthy. I couldn't give two shits about TS, but I can see when people are trying to have SOMETHING on her, when there is nothing really there.

The people I find who act like TS is singlehandedly causing climate change, are also people who actually don't give AF about climate change.

you clearly didn’t read my comment because I’m mostly aggreing lol.

Take a deep breath, and actually attempt to understand what I said. Not just the first sentence, but my entire comment.

Uh huh. My response was to the first part of your comment.

I say that: Swift does fucked up stuff private jet. But the obsession on criticising her as opposed to all the other rich people reeks of misogyny.

You said that: Me critcizing her is wrong because so many other people do private jets.

My reaction: So you’re criticizing me by agreeing with me? Or you think private jets is okay? I’m confused?

I just didn't say you were wrong. I say other people DO private jets, are far older than her and have been using them for far longer, and that on the list of folks who are destroying our planet and eating up resources, I really don't think she compares. People just latch on her because she's a wealthy woman.

Tbh, I think we're agreeing but saying it differently. Sorry if I'm coming across harsh at you, but I'm not actually complaining about what YOU said. Mostly venting just to vent by pigging backing off your comment.
