If you think that you can replace any white characters in fantasy stories with non-white actors because "it's fictional", but then declare that skin color matters only when it comes to FANTASY stories featuring people of color; then you're still an ignorant borderline racist person, but wokely.
What's different between a story set in Germany, Denmark, France, Greece, and a story set in India, Saudi Arabia, China or Polynesia?
That the characters in stories set in Europe can be played by any non-white actors because they are not real? That there were no set of regional laws, no regional culture, no regional religion, no classicism, no racism, no distinct anything?
But stories set in Asia must be strictly played by actors that resemble the "colored people" in that specific regions, because their culture is so distinctive and foreign and rare, therefore it can't be replicated by white actors?
Yes Taylor Swift is the 100% polyester jacket, designed by tasteless rich people, priced 1 million USD, consumed by basic FOMO consumerist, advertised by megacorps to gain profits, used by government officials to push propaganda, in a mall store. Bye.
Swifties say "Taylor can't speak up because Trump will speak up too because she's the most famous and influential and she'll be in danger!"
Brainless crowd.
Trump was saying he hates Taylor Swift, then he praises her for getting engaged. Do y'all understand the implications here?
Taylor Swift, from the beginning of her career, her whole identity, her whole life style, her whole discography, was built from the bricks of white supremacy. She was always America's white princess. She has never had any other identities other than being white. What the MAGA crowd hates her for, is just her having too many boyfriends and hasn't married soon enough. White America tolerates her because she is still a male-centered, whining, crying blonde woman image that they can allow to exist. They allow women to shade men just because the men weren't giving her enough of love. The women artists who truly hated patriarchy and dismiss the system from the ground, was never allowed to thrive this big. That's the secret code that they don't want to say.
So, Taylor Swift is not a feminist, flag-burning, social defiant icon. She is a doll that make it big because the American white society allows her to.
Because her identity is being a representation of the American white woman, she is a powerful propaganda tool. MAGA always know she is not a revolutionary, so they wait for her to change same day. She got engaged! Like all good women would. Just like they expect. So she is one of them now! Just like they expect.
And how is she behaving now? Dressing up as a Showgirl which is an American symbol for classic high class entertainment. Having tons of plastic surgery to hold on to her youth, getting in dramas with women of color all while sucking up to her white husband, who is playing into the American masculinity image himself. Just like they expect of their women.
The White House's reactions don't mean shit because she is one of them. Taylor Swift has proved she can't never deter them in any meaningful way. What they can have is friendly banters.
The worst thing about this current American fascist bent is that pop culture is now constantly overwhelmed and obsessed with the white and mid. It’s nothing but Taylor Cracker Swift this, Sydney Sweeney the racist cracker did that, this other tiny cracker singer is bending it backwards and crawling around like a dog and oooooahhhhh the scandal and omg look at this one cracker who is Mormon and does backflips! And yes let’s circlejerk over this one racist cracker getting his ass shot and his cracker wife embracing our cracker vice president while the hate mongering cracker’s corpse is barely cold. It’s nothing but white midness in every incarnation it’s white life and white death and white angst and white sex and white queerness and white heteros and I’m like ENOUGHHHH!!! Stop talking about these mid bitches because it makes me want to throw my phone away and live in a cave! As a poet once said I am going to buy a gun!!! I am going to shoot myself!!!!
"I wish I could go back to the 1830s but without all the racists"
God the word 'racists' sound so light and easy here. It's like saying "bullies" in highschool. And if you actually listen to her singing this line, she curved the 't' and 's' sound at the end and it sounds like she's singing a fancy word.
Taylor Swift being so obsessed with money is because money is the only validation for her "artistry". But money is also a tool to fund her dream lifestyle, which is being a luxurious elite white person who hang out with her rich friends in her 1000th house. She's really not your local English teacher who wants to live in a cozy house with her blue collar husband and bake cookies for him everyday, lol.
Billie Eilish critized billionaires in general. Male bootlickers insult Billie for daring to critize Elon Musk. Female bootlickers insult Billie for daring to critize Taylor Swift.
People mistake Taylor Swift's aggressiveness for activism and I think that should be talked about more.
All of my exposure of her is her making the most "angry at my enemy" faces whenever she's performing her bland songs or making statements. She pretends her actions speak for all women when she's the most beneficial to all of it because the American class and race system benefits her the most. Every song of her is taking shots at her enemies (ex boyfriend/other girls) and parade it as "fighting for feminism/fighting for the OPPRESSED nerdy girl). I'm tiredddd.
So Taylor Swift made a song called "September" which is a mayonnaise version of September by Earth, Wind and Fire. Then that song went huge and her fans called September the month a Taylor Swift month? That's colonizer vibes babe.
1, Pasty ass white person defending their fav white billionaire. What's new. They're so close to throw slurs from the 1800s at Kayla Nicole over there.
2, He said Kayla has to dress up as someone iconic because she isn't iconic herself. BITCH what's Taylor Swift's iconic look? Red lipstick and blonde hair? That's Marilyn Monroe. The sparkly purple bathing suit? Who would want to wear that immature outfit? All Taylor does is stealing aesthetics because they're "white culture anyway" and she's white so she's entitled to it, without having to prove she's worth it.
3, Seriously Taylor Swift's fans have this smugness and arrogance and stupidity that annoy everyone. If y'all squint your eyes y'all are MAGA people but blue. And y'all are women and gay so y'all support LGBTQ I guess but still white so still racist as usual.
Billie Eilish is really Kendrick to Taylor's Drake. Think about it, Billie is passionate about the art of music, she revolutionizes the music scene, she got super famous and gains all these critically claimed awards at a young age just like Taylor. However, everyone loves her and think she's cool, unlike Taylor. Taylor used to make everything political i.e white feminism and pose as an activist, a larger than life figure. Billie, too, makes political statements about social issues but she really puts her effort into it, unlike Taylor. She is a young woman who's "alt" and got all the love, meanwhile Taylor who has checked every conventional privileges boxes but still seen as uncool. Billie is really a natural enemy to Taylor.
I love that Taylor Swift is so Republican, White supremacy princess-codes lmaoooo I know she's a Liberal but everything she does is so Republican. Even down to what she chooses to dress as "Vintage Fashion". I swear Donal Trump must have thrown these parties to signal to Taylor Swift she and him are the same kind. She and Republicans are the same breed of white people. These Left wing right wing shit is just costumes for them.
Taylor Swift is that obnoxious "writer girl" who gains knowledge of classical novels from YouTube summary videos, highly-polished ultra-processed Movie adaptations, Tumblr aesthetic posts, modern interpretation of classical media then acts like she's above all because she knows all the classical buzzwords. The music equivalent of Lore Olympus. She needs to shut up and read a book for real.
I'm convinced she has a humiliation kink because how can you constantly show off that Man's Best Friend album cover for everyone to see without having some shame? Yes, you can have provocative art but her album cover is just so clunky and plain and she looks empty. I've seen Masochist porny arts that have more soul and power than that album cover.
