PerfectSacrifice Posted April 13, 2023 Posted April 13, 2023 The meltdowns What's the problem of this?
Forevermore. Posted April 13, 2023 Posted April 13, 2023 ATRL continues to serve the most braindead takes possible. Every time you think it couldn't get worse, it does. It's quite impressive, actually. Like, this is straight up a conservative talking point. "Taylor Swift casts black man in music video: Has she gone too woke?" ... Are you not embarrassed?
Rv1709 Posted April 13, 2023 Posted April 13, 2023 Why didn’t she have a black man or trans man as lead in her country eras?
lonnie Posted April 13, 2023 Posted April 13, 2023 This thread is very weird. There's nothing wrong with having Taylor having a Black person as a love interest in her videos or shows. There's nothing wrong with her not dating non-white men, which is far better than the fetishizing some of her white celebrity peers have been known to do. There are legitimate criticisms of Taylor's presentation as a popstar and this one isn't it.

Her rehashing colonial tropes for Wildest Dreams is better and actually valid criticism than whatever this thread is. I think she was just ignorant and playing off nostalgia of a time she knows little about in a socio-political context. Mostly just unintentional ignorance. Like Taylor probably has blindspots on certain issues, as most people do, and an upper-class white woman whose known privilege her entire life is bound to have them, but this is thread has very weird framing. Using social issues to attack or as a drag should really be reconsidered, as much as I dislike some of the lady's stans, there should be a line drawn when the only reason we try to bring social issues is so that we'd make an artist we dislike look bad. Some of the allegations in here are too threadbare and vague to be taken seriously.

aesthetic bih Posted April 13, 2023 Posted April 13, 2023 As a Taylor fan, yes Taylor didn't really incorporate POC people as her love subjects in her music video until the Lover era.
