posts that will probably get me mauled by feral hounds but I do find it funny how Taylor Swift has managed to somehow convince most of her fans that she is the most oppressed person on Earth when she is actually one of the most privileged. She's literally a white one percenter whose dad is so rich he just bought a chunk of one of the biggest record labels ever once she was signed with it just for funsies. And of course with the CO2 emmissions thing right now it's more obvious than ever that TS holds enough power over literally the entire world than most people can even begin to comprehend. Yet somehow all her fans are convinced that all the petty ego fights she gets in on twitter are actually a Misogyny Issue and she is overly criticized and hated on because she is a woman (which is super unique of her and definitely not something that over 50% of the industry also is)
Like obviously misogyny is real and Taylor, like every other woman, is subjected to it. But there is such a thing as context and when it comes down to it the backlash Taylor faces as a woman is minuscule compared to the incredible amount of privilege and entitlement she has as a white burgeois first worlder cishet able bodied neurotypical thin conventionally attractive etc etc etc etc celebrity, which actually makes her less likely to face consequences for her actions and encounter backlash, not more. Especially outside of a music industry/celebrity-only context
But because she is part of one (1) oppressed group she has managed to milk that for all its worth and convince her fans that actually she has no power, no privilege, no ways to shield herself from well deserved criticism and absolutely anyone who speaks against her in any way or context is just being an agent of oppression against her, one of the most sheltered people in the world. Unironically fascinating

this is the best album release of all time because where else are you going to get unironic takes like this and then even get a few hundred people to agree with it

my apologies if this has already been posted here but im sharing this. here is what someone said on twitter along w this image:
the central image text reads: “@everyone I HAVE BEEN RELIABLY INFORMED GUARDIAN JOURNALISTS ARE SNOOPING AROUND ASKING FOR TRANS PEOPLE TO TALK TO THEM ABOUT DIY HRT. THEY ARE PARTICULARLY LOOKING FOR UNDER-18S DOING DIY. SHOULDN'T NEED TO BE SAID, BUT DO. NOT. ENGAGE. SPREAD WIDELY. DO NOT ENGAGE. WE NEED THIS NOTICE SPREAD OUT VIA EVERY GRASSROOTS SUPPORT GROUP AND SOCIAL CIRCLE IN THE COUNTRY.
URGENT. IF THEY GET EVEN ONE TO TAKE PART IT BECOMES A NATIONAL CONVERSATION. TOP ALERT.
Guardian journos are apparently asking trans people about DIY. Trans followers: DO NOT SAY ANYTHING TO THEM. NOT A WORD.
I also know I’ve got cis mutuals who have written for the Guardian. Please know I’ve always thought less of you because of that.
