Don't let this die. Taylor Swift is the Pollution Queen now. We need meme edits with her photoshopped onto backgrounds of wildfire-ravaged landscapes and oil refineries chugging out black smoke.
Photo of smudgy black eye shadow? That's THE Taylor Swift-inspired look now, it represents fossil fuels.
We need parodies of Taylor Swift songs about pollution and killing polar bears.
Give her representatives a full-time job for the rest of their lives defending her from the phrase "Pollution Queen." Make this meme a the figurehead of an entire fleet of other celebrity-terrorizing memes.
"But this doesn't dismantle the system that—" Shut. Don't care. Isn't it great that such a huge portion of environmental damage is being done by human individuals with egos, whose feelings can be hurt when people are mean?
Money can save you from physical harm, but can it save you from looking ridiculous?
Listen… what a lot of people on this webbed site don’t get is that the whole point of the batman and the joker is to reassure cishet men. these two are textually heterosexual -in most continuities, at least-, but notoriously read as queer men, and have done so since their inception, to the point that the homophobic rethoric used to forge the censorship of the Comics Code Authority was built on “clearly, Batman must be a queer hero, just look at him!” followed by “and of course a queer man can’t be a hero! we have to make him straight!” meaning that Batman couldn’t be written as queer while Joker could (for as long as you hid in the plausible deniability of “ah, but he’s attracted to women!” as if bisexuality didn’t exist, and his character wasn’t a homophobic caricature down to the bone). no, Batman and Joker HAVE to be popular with straight men and therefore associated with straightness BECAUSE of their queerness. When DC makes Batman and Joker textually straight AND centers all the attention on them AND makes them out to be the only characters that do things in DC comics, it is saying “look! a butch leather daddy and a flaming pansy that want to fuck each other ARE cool and badass!” as a means not of telling them gay men are deserving of respect… but to subtly sending the message that their little “infractions” of masculinity -which to cis men is as empowering as it is constrictive- aren’t all that bad. Look, this guy wears a leather harness and he’s straight (wink, wink, nudge, nudge) everybody thinks he’s intimidating, so you using cologne isn’t all that bad. Look, this guy wears makeup and bright colored clothes and everybody thinks he’s intimidating, so you piercing your ears isn’t all that bad. Etc etc. if they ever bit the bullet and said “yeah, they’re queer, how could they not be” these cishet men would flip their shit, but for as long as they’re “straight” and badass they will forgive them looking like they’re out of a gay bar. The Batman and the Joker ARE queer men in all but name, that’s the entire point. So of course whenever I see tumblr Gotham rogues enthusiasts go “I don’t like the joker because he’s evil therefore he’s cishet” my blood boils and my soul leaves my body. Like all Gotham rogues serve the “evil queer” role in one way or another, its just that the Joker isn’t allowed to be all-on confirmed to be a gay man because straight men like him PRECISELY due to him being all but explicitly gay!!!!!!
