Fair enough. I’m not a Swiftie but I don’t particularly dislike her either other than being a billionaire. But yeah I do find it a bit disturbing how people are so ready to shit on her specifically for being a successful woman. Shit on her for being a billionaire, not a woman.
And then everyone says “oh Gabe Newell being a billionaire is fine, Valve is such a great company” etc etc
OK, that’s probably accentuated here because of all the pro-linux PC gaming people here, but still. Valve has done some pretty bad stuff too. And Gabe is out there buying yacht companies…
Was her being a woman ever explicitly part of the ‘swift takes too many unnecessary private plane flights’ thing? I never really noticed that, and it’s not like she takes those flights because she’s female, it’s mostly because of her job.
Though I suppose people wouldn’t joke about Swift’s hypothetical wedding if she wasn’t a woman …
The fact that she’s a woman is being pointed out because there are at least one hundred men you could target for similar acts. I’m going to point out again what the image above says:
That’s okay. Her actions are wrong. Just remember that, even among the well meaning, there is a disturbing tendency to make a woman the scapegoat, when many other candidates better fit the bill.

All billionaires are corrupt. I don’t care if they’re* cute or techy, you don’t get that kind of money without being a bastard.

Dont use her gender to defend her actions.
Her popularity among teens and young adults is the reason she was focused on, jesus christ.
bro will literally see the sentence “her actions are wrong” and accuse the other person of “defending her actions”
some people on the internet are here to speak rather than read, and i fear you are one of them
The contortions some people wrap themselves up in to try and explain away anything that might be a bit prejudice is wild.
