The media overtly attacking a woman just because she's on top and passing it as a silly criticism when we know the real reason? SHOCKING! 

 

She's not going anywhere, babes. :laugh:

perhaps Swift was blackmailing her followers with sordid details of their personal lives she had obtained through fan letters.

Well they call her a cult leader, that she lacks charisma and don't get the devotion 

 

But they did not call her mediocre like the title implies :katie:

Are OTHs really denying that she has charisma now? Even they are devotedly following her…though I guess it's on brand for OTHs to not be very self-reflective.

they called her/her music uninspiring, which is essentially the same thing.

 

"It can't be her doctrine they're drawn to, because that is not particularly inspiring either."

 

it's all in the name of humor, anyway. it's a (debatably) funny little post (or rage-bait for Swifties) to get people talking, which is The Onion's business model as a satirical outlet.

The Onion isn't "the media", they're a satirical site. :toofunny3:

Of course, ATRL is celebrating this. Yet if you say something bad about Beyonce, Lady Gaga, etc., they will all report you and block you in the thread. Yet suddenly, Swifties "can't take a joke" if they are making fun of Taylor. This site's unfairness and hypocrisy are so tiring.

So true. I made an innocent joke about Bey's alleged lack of involvement in songwriting and got a warning. Yet we see 10x the number of hateful TS threads weekly

"Typically, the cult leaders I study are highly persuasive individuals with magnetic personalities—Ms. Swift, however, presents a unique case,"
