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 PSL.

more context is from this c/fediverse post about creating more welcoming spaces for women online: https://hexbear.net/comment/3970936

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:

  1. Post must be about taylor swift
  2. No sexualizing / objectifying
  3. Photos of Taylor Swift with socialist quotes overtop of them are encouraged (especially if feminism related)
  4. Gaylor speculation welcome.

              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. trans-heart taylor-commie

                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.
