I fucking hate all the attention Taylor Swift gets. Yes she’s a talented performer. She is not the second coming.
Who is on the cover here? I dont follow celebrities.
Edit: comments mention Taylor swift and some dude named kelly
I only know this because he’s from my area and still does charity work in the area, Travis Kelce. Honestly I couldn’t care less about celebrity lives, but from what I’ve seen in local press he does seem to be a good guy.
Professional entertainment. The most grossly overpaid industry ever.
What I find hilariously, self-centered and tone deaf, funny is they announced the engagement on a day when across the NFL players were getting cut and losing their jobs across the league on cut down day.
40 of Kelsy’s team mates lost their jobs on that day. But I suppose overshadowing that got the NFL more clicks and eyeballs.
thats just the business of the league not everybody is good enough to make a team and nobody likes cutting players
If those people took school seriously and have other skills then great, they’ll do fine. If they’ve spent their whole existence on a sports career lottery ticket so they could be rich and famous and live better than us commoners, that was their choice. I’ll save my sympathy for people who get laid off from jobs other than sports and entertainment jobs that are only about clicks and eyeballs in the first place.
look how much i don’t care guys, i made a monument to the things i don’t care about.
not caring about things is not a virtue. you want people to care about something else you should work on that messaging. “you’re stupid to care about this” is reddit atheist coded bullshit that has never worked in the history of mankind.
It’s possible to not give a fuck about Taylor Swift, but still care about her and her fellow billionaires outright destroying the world while glitzy magazines treat them as main characters in a soap opera, just going about their glamorous exploits and intrigue. It is fucking stupid to celebrate Taylor Swift’s anything, for as long as she remains a prime example of everything that is going wrong in the world: massive hoarding of wealth in a winner takes all economy obsessed with intangible assets (notably brands and song rights), excessive personal consumption and burning of fossil fuels, hyper commercialized culture mostly void of artistic expression.
I don’t mind people that like her songs, but I’m fairly certain Swifties should be designated a death cult.
As many as one-third of the general public may experience celebrity worship on a borderline pathological level. source
better Taylor than a politician.
Better Carl Sagan than a pop singer.
Imo it is fucking stupid to care about this stuff though. Celebrity worship is a cancer. Obsessing about the love lives of total strangers because they’re famous is not only pointless but also destructive.
i don’t care about it but i also find the air of superiority from people who boast about not caring about this to be worse than actually caring about it. everyone cares about stupid shit. people just talk about this because it’s more demographically aligned with women. there’s disproportionate hate towards things women tend to like because we’re taught from childhood that it’s uncool.
guarantee most of the people shitting on it here either mald about some ladder they’re unhealthily trying to climb, or have a pokemon card collection, or treat that one movie they found to be super cool as their bible or some shit.
let people enjoy what they like. don’t act you only care about the environment and world hunger.
because society pushes women to like these things under social pressure. it’s kind of gross. there’s nothing wrong with things women like, but this is manufactured. But hey, better than MAGA’s worshipping drump.
yeah but what i said extend to everything women and especially young women and girls like.
distraction of the masses from politics, a tale as old as time. people are too invested in sports/celebreties often are very ignorant of the policies/politics around them, and they dont realize this just a distraction from Class issues.
Finally, some good-ass manual meme creation!
good ass-manual meme
The first I heard of Swift’s engagement was reporters asking Trump to react, cause every fucking thing is about Trump
love this and I love how it’s triggering all the Swifties
People that idolize celebs are wild to me. Taylor wouldn’t piss on you if you were on fire girl.
As I’ve gotten older my celebs are people that put tutorials on YouTube. Like oh shit, ishaan my favorite electrician just dropped a fire new video on neutrals and grounding on 3 phase. Or that one homesteader just dropped a short on how to grow bigger pumpkins, get the popcorn
Absolutely. I wish Taylor Swift all the best, just like I do anyone, but I couldn’t care less about her or her life. Alec Watson from Technology Connections? I’d take a bullet for that guy.
Alec taught us that Brown is just Orange with context.
That’s EXACTLY the video I was thinking about when I wrote my comment.
Neat coincidence.
I don’t wish all the best to any billionaire.
You’re a fundamentally failed human being if you allow yourself to hoard this much wealth. At least tech billionaires pretend to have some sort of ideal goal they’re working on but entertainer just be straight up pure narcissists.
I believe that the best for billionaires is to be relieved of the morally corrupting influence of their wealth, and I do wish that for them.
Yep, my thoughts exactly. Imagine if Swift had a crisis of conscience and decided to do good with all her money instead of being a scummy resource hoarder.
Why does Taylor Swift get such a massive pass from everybody in terms of scrutiny?
Seems like I see more memes about Taylor swift using jets then other celebrities. They’re all equally shit though.
Yeah true, I guess I meant more before this recent uptick in memes/criticism. I don’t expect celebrity musicians to be paragons of virtue or fight every political battle for justice but I do expect… something? Like a little bit? Have a spine maybe?
I mean she can do whatever she wants, but that is the point right, she can do whatever she wants she is an unbelievably rich white lady who politicians and other powerful figures can’t touch without risking MASSIVE blowback in public opinion that money and distraction won’t be able to make go away.
relatability factor because of songs?
Ok that would be the part I understand, I am asking about the part I don’t.
No I am not entertained. In fact. I am fed up with all the coverage of them. Let them live their lives in peace so those of us out here tired of the show can also live in peace.
But at the same time, don’t obsess over a bunch of shit you can’t change. The doom and gloom is mostly there to sell you shit anyway. Unhappy people spend more.
You can’t fix it. It’s not your job. Unless you want it to be your job by running for government, just vote appropriately for people that might help fix it. That’s your little bit done.
Live your life. Go for a bike ride. Knock one out.
Oh? What am I being sold other than clickbait?
I’m annoyed by celebrity culture, but geezus anti-celebrity culture can be just as insufferable.
Just tune it out people.Just tune it out people.
I only ever seem to hear about Taylor Swift via memes that tell me not to care about Taylor Swift.
No! People need to get their heads out of their ass and focus on what is important.
It is right and just to hate on people who only speak up when the topic is useless drivel. They should be ashamed of their inaction and their complacency is disgusting.
I think we’re at a point where we can all agree that having interests beyond what’s serious and exigent is healthy and reasonable. Now we need to get past the idea that not liking something that’s popular (like sports and entertainment) makes you better than people who do. It doesn’t make you better.
People who like Taylor and Travis and want them to do well are not automatically complacent in other areas of their lives. They don’t have their heads up their asses for this reason. They have nothing to be ashamed of, talking about topics that, in your opinion, are useless drivel. Especially here, on the internet.
My grievances come from the fact that there’s no counterweight. Posting this type of thing is not inherently bad, but it’s all these people ever post.
I agree, people can enjoy things I don’t enjoy! But by exclusively posting vapid content, they are diluting the content pool and drowning out what is important.
Your inaction is your admission of acceptance.
I really don’t think you’re being fair. I was in chanology in Clearwater, Arab Spring in Rabat, the second Penguin Revolution in Santiago de Chile, and countless major demonstrations in support of worker rights and LGBT community issues all over the world. When I come on the internet (as I’ve done since 1994), I don’t want to endlessly talk about politics with the normies here. I want to talk about normie topics like cooking, cats, sports, and Taylor Swift. I save my outrage for real world actions.
According to you, I’m practicing an attitude of acceptance with regard to the state of the world because that’s all you see and hear from me. What do you think that says about your worldview and your outlook on people?
You’re right, it is unfair of me to write these people off. Slacktivism is no substitute for real activism.
It’s just disheartening, weird, and scary seeing everyone repost the same instagram post like little worker bees.
And personally, I don’t think these people are doing anything behind the scenes to push for change. I suppose I’m just cynical.
Yeah, I don’t mind propaganda, just don’t listen.
That’s a joke, in case it was not obvious.
Ah yes the anti anti…
Everyone should really read ALL of this image. The headline obviously resonates with a ton of people, but there is a bigger message here that people need to engage with.
I don’t know if this is OC from the author or not, but this is genuinely brilliant.
