it would be genuinely great as a bit and also as a honeypot for misogynistic dude bros who couldn’t get over their bullshit. similar to men with irrational hatred for .

Here is a longer essay I wrote on how Taylor Swift is secretly a dengist (complimentary): https://hexbear.net/post/629974

C/TAYLORSWIFT IS HERE MY BABES & SWIFTIES!!

obligatory copypasta:
Taylor Swift is more than a musician. she is the voice of a generation. She is an idea, a world-historical heroine, light itself.
When people told me they hated Taylor Swift or (far worse) that they were "not swifties," I wish I had said in no uncertain terms: "I love Taylor Swift. I am in awe of her. I am set free by her. She will be the finest worldwide superstar our galaxy has ever seen."
I wish, in those exchanges, I had not asked gentle, tolerant questions about a hater's ridiculous allergy to her, or Taytay’s fictional misdeeds and imagined character flaws. More deeply still, I wish I had not reasoned with anyone, patiently countered their ludicrous emotionalism and psychologically disturbed theories.
I wish I had said, flatly, "I love her. I am gay as fuck for Taylor Swift. I am a big fat dyke for Gaylor.” As if I had been asked about my girlfriend or Fletcher. No defensiveness or polemics; not dignifying the crazy allegations with so much as a Gawker or PinkNews link.

Potential comm rules:
- Post must be about taylor swift
- No sexualizing / objectifying
- Photos of Taylor Swift with socialist quotes overtop of them are encouraged (especially if feminism related)
- Gaylor speculation welcome.
I used to be a full-on swiftie on stan twitter, I met my ex-girlfriend on there.
Remember the Swiftie update account who went to jail for refusing to join the IDF? I was friends with that girl and literally met her irl a few years back. I'm ready for the Swift comm.
oh hell yes, that Swiftie update account is one of my heroes. going to jail instead of joining the IDF is literally praxis.
if they make me a mod of the comm do you want to also be a mod??
on her main, personal account she was a very open pro-palestine israeli, it was pretty lit
yeah, sure, we can have a struggle session about the original version of Picture To Burn
incredible, this is gonna be funnnn. are you “a moth to a flame” fan?
I have mixed feelings about it, Better Than Revenge was always very petty and kinda bitchy, but that's what it's about. We like the song for its emotional honesty, and you could argue that the internalized misogyny of it was part of what made it relatable, especially to a lot of girls who listened to it. Girls are probably slut shamed more often by other girls than by men.
Like, Better Than Revenge is not a song with deep meaning or an inspirational message, it's a song about how some stupid hoe stole your man and how much of an annoying, fake-ass bitch that girl is. That's why people connect to it, because even though it's not a particularly "valuable" message, a lot of people have felt similarly at one point or another and can relate to what Taylor expresses in the song. And if she wants to amend that by not calling said stupid bitch a slut, then I totally get that, but the song was never about being a good person anyway.
I have the connections. Don't talk shit or I'll sic the swifties on hexbear.
also as a honeypot for misogynistic dude bros
It would also work as a honeypot for bottom dudes
@UnicodeHamSic@hexbear.net reminded me of that famous Taylor Swift quote “women hold up half the sky”
@ElHexo@hexbear.net , @kristina@hexbear.net , and @Maoo@hexbear.net plz upbear and comment thank youuuuu
“All these women on hexbear keep ranting about how Taylor Swift is secretly a gay dengist. I don’t understand.”
Could we not? Didn't she recently date some racist idiot, and also dated a highschooler as an adult? It's not irrational hatred to be against that kind of thing.
she dumped Matty Healy pretty much immediately once those recordings of him on cumtown got brought up. he was saying racist shit about one of Taylor’s friends and long time collaborators too, which was especially gross. Taylor needs to just come out already and stop using garbage men as beards.
You’re right that cumtown is awful and racist. I have the same opinion of them that I do of that trash fuck Matty Healy. Unfunny show.
didn’t want to bother talking about a piece of shit dude that said awful racist shit on cumtown about taylor’s friends but yah sure
Haven’t heard anything about that, but frankly unsurprised since Matty Healy is awful and not a good person. Hating that ratfuck is pretty much a cannon opinion amongst swifties as well.
Taylor Swift fans are far more frightening than the K Hive
Also need to consider
before starting this
Also she is bourgeoisie
Taylor Swift fans are far more frightening than the K Hive
yes, now imagine channeling the power of swifties for establishing communism
Also need to consider
before starting this
anyone attempting to sexualize or objectify taylor would need to be immediately banned from the comm and then executed.
Also she is bourgeoisie
Taylor Swift is a chaotic bisexual dengist establishing productive forces through mass redistribution of profit sharing to all workers during her Eras tour
The gross earnings of her Eras tour is above $1 bil. While that won't be her net earnings, I'm going to assume its going to be a much bigger number than the 55 mil she's giving to her workers. While it is nice that she's doing this, its not much different to other philanthropy billionaires do to avoid scrutiny.
Swifties are lost in the spectacle, they will replace communism with Taylor Swift
As a Swiftie, I uphold communism first, Taylor Swift second. While TSwift might seem vapid at first blush, a closer examination of Taylor’s career reveals a hidden agenda that aligns shockingly well with the principles of socialism, drawing inspiration from both Deng Xiaoping's pragmatic reforms and the revolutionary spirit of Maoism.
Swift may not be marching in the streets with a red flag, but her music has had more than one Red era.
Taylor Swift's highly publicized battles with record labels and streaming platforms provide another lens through which we can view her alignment with socialist principles.
Her fight for fair compensation for all artists in an industry dominated by corporate interests mirrors the struggle for workers' rights that is central to socialist ideology. Swift's courage in challenging industry giants is akin to the audacity of those who dared to confront capitalist exploitation and publicly execute landlords, but with music rights instead of landlords.
Socialism places great importance on unity and solidarity among citizens, and Taylor Swift's ability to connect with a diverse fan base is a testament to her role as a unifying figure. Through her music and actions, she encourages people from various backgrounds to come together in support of common causes like queer rights & killing your fucking landlord, fostering a sense of community reminiscent of revolutionary communist ideals. This unity, bridging the gap between Deng Xiaoping's pragmatism and Maoism's revolutionary spirit, is a reflection of her unique influence.
It's not just Taylor Swift's music and activism that align with socialism; it's her influence on public discourse. In an era marked by growing income inequality throughout the imperial core, her songs and public statements challenge the status quo and inspire her audience to consider alternative social and economic systems that prioritize the welfare of all. This blend of Deng's pragmatic approach and Maoist call for revolutionary change shapes the narrative for a more equitable world.
The next time you listen to a Taylor Swift song, consider the possibility that you're not just enjoying catchy jams but also absorbing the subliminal message of social change and solidarity, blending the paths of Deng Xiaoping and Maoism in a unique synthesis.
I was already into this comm idea coming into this thread, but after reading this comment, I'm in love with it.
yasssss i am glad that my theory and writing on Marxist-Dengist-Swiftian thought spoke to you
effective altruism!!!!
Either "there's no such thing as a good billionaire" or there is. However, we all like some billionaire. What are we supposed to do, sit in a cave and carve the walls up for entertainment?
This is a tough one. None of this is to say I'm against a comm. I can just keep scrolling, unlike the jackasses that just can't let something they don't like go by.
Most swifties I've.met are anti capitalist. Maybe a new pipeline opened?
I do think this Taylor comm is a funny idea but
However, we all like some billionaire.
I can't think of a single billionaire I don't hate. When I was a youth I thought Bill Gates and JK Rowling werealright but then Bill Gates turned out to be a Lolita Express riding charter school promoting vaccine gatekeeping freak, and JK Rowling is such a disgusting TERF that she's retweeting pro-Taliban takes.
I don't like some billionaire.
Someday, there will be an emote. This is my prophecy for tonight.
Im just going to block the comm, i thought we were past vapid consumerist pop culture like Taylor Swift.
All pop culture is vapid lmao. Your anime and videogames aren't somehow less vapid than her discography.
naw was here on launch day before my egg cracked and was one of the beta testers while they were building, hung out on the discord, and was on the old sub, trust me you don’t win lmao
anyways we also got the comm made so stay mad lol
asking a trans woman to deadname herself to win an argument is mediocre and sus behavior.
I’ve taken enough estradiol i don’t feel the need to do that, but i do hope you enjoy the taylor swift comm that now exists for everyone on this site.
I'm not sure where you got the idea I was being very serious at any point during this interaction
no one's asking you to deadname, nor was the 'argument' up to this point in any way serious... 4 tours across multiple social media platforms and a nothing burger are not serious statements, I was just being a windup.
Account rotation should be more common. Embrace paranoia culture
also literally changing your gender so having a new account for that is v understandable lol
Little miffed we got a bloody Taylor Swift com before a western comics com. That's okay I'll still keep posting to anime.
did you try shitposting about it? also i love comics if you make a post I’ll upbear it!!
Been posting in !anime@hexbear.net it's alright, I'm being half serious, but a comics comm would be cool tho.
Make the comm requests post and send me the link!!! I want a comics comm!
Her godmother is dolly parton. Obviously Miley is a secret swamp maoist raised in the bayous of Dollywood to destroy Amerikkkka
