Flying SquidTaylor Swift Fans Cause Seismic Activity Comparable to Small Earthquake at Seattle Eras Tour Shows
LexiconDexiconI don’t want this community to have celebrity news in it
It’s science news that happens to involve a celebrity.
It’s celebrity news regarding a known white supremacist, her fanbase is notoriously disgusting and racist and often attacks people of color.
This community doesn’t need that kind of garbage, there’s plenty of it on reddit
CeruleanRuinI don’t follow Swift or her die-hard fans, but this is news to me. Is this a real documented fact, or the usual overblown internet reaction to an assumption based on an extrapolation from a decade-old retweet?
Overblown internet nonsense.
From a quick search, it appears that a bunch of white supremacists revere here as something like a goddess, and the feeling is absolutely not mutual - in 2019, she unambiguously and firmly denounced white supremacy and alt-right stuff in general in a Rolling Stone interview.
Why do they revere her? Like I get that she is a very beautiful white woman, but there are lots of those. There has to be more than just “she’s hot and white so we’ve made her our goddess” right?
No, I honestly don’t think there’s any more to it than that. She’s an attractive, famous, and successful white lady. That’s kinda it.
And slightly country.
She used to be on the hick country stations that all the racist old people I know listen to, back when she was pop-country, so maybe they see her as one of their own? And a goddess because she’s objectively the biggest music star in the world atm?
Mostly the white, pretty, and fame, though.
Taylor Swift speaks out against that kind of shit in recent years and is about to tour with Paramore who are adamantly anti-white-supremacy and the like, so... Just your average internet idiot.
