Basically, people hold her up because she’s said good stuff about queer people in the past, which is cool and all but it’s basically the lowest possible bar for not being a total chud.

They also say that her whole shtick is based on some myth of “good white Appalachian/southerner”, kind of whitewashing some of the history of that region.
“Dolly” (or more likely the entertainment company who runs all her shit, although it’s been claimed that she has “total creative control” also had a restaurant draped in confederate iconography called “Dolly Parton’s Dixie Stampede”. Don’t worry though, she changed the name. In 2018.
