Keeandga Posted June 18 Posted June 18 Taylor's fine, overhyped but fine. It's the swifties cult like behaviour & coming across superior (there not the only ones just the worst for it). 1
Proseductice Posted June 18 Posted June 18 I'm not here to "drag" anybody, but this thread creation is a little embarrassing, no? I can agree that at times there are multiple threads going during certain artists hate trains to drag them down, but then, if it's upsetting it's a good reminder to log off for a bit. It's just the internet, you know? All of us and our faves are completely unaffected by what is said on this website. Stepping away for a bit might be more helpful? 3 2
OnlyManInTheWorld Posted June 18 Posted June 18 Taylor will be fine. They were already hating on her back in 2016, so it's nothing new. It happens to everyone who's on top of the game. She still has more fans than haters.
Sombre Posted June 18 Posted June 18 This is a forum, heavily dependent on pop culture news and threads created to discuss said news. Creating a mega thread for "hate" and "vitriol" is so ridiculous.

Suilen Posted June 18 Posted June 18 18 minutes ago, PoisonedIvy said: Perhaps you can unbrainwash them, now that we have a hub that they can't avoid. It's gonna be hard to defend her when all of the dissent is concentrated to one fine, focused, and precise point. My best friend is a Swiftie, and if I can't do anything about him (not that I'm actively trying to because she genuinely brings him joy, and he would rather close his eyes when it comes to some bad stuff, so even bringing up valid criticism can be perceived as me being 'cruel' towards him), I'm even less inclined to 'unbrainwash' strangers. Like what you like, hate what you hate
Pop Fan Posted June 18 Posted June 18 (edited) It's giving echo chambers, Reddit circlejerks, Twitter groupchat, Twitter threads, Daily Mail articles, Fantano Youtube videos, TikTok pick-mes, Shea Butter Twitter, they/thems, XCX twinks, Beyhive, Eat The Rich warriors, performative activists, anti-capitalists... So yeah, this shows us the hate train isn't real, it only exists in some niche bubbles. Taylor has nothing to worry about, she's going to be just fine. She can relax, she's the biggest artist in the world and isn't going anywhere. Edited June 18 by Pop Fan added two things

illia Posted June 18 Posted June 18 Why is the thread full of swifties circlejerking Taylor when the thread is about "criticism, hate and vitriol"? Stay on topic 4

Creating a mega thread for "hate" and "vitriol" is so ridiculous. The news can still be shared in separate threads, the vitriol just doesn't need to disperse across 4 separate threads per day. It's preventing other threads from finding their way into the "popular threads" section. The world does not revolve around Taylor Swift and I'm tired of ATRL acting like it does!
PoisonedIvy Posted June 18 Author Posted June 18 Oh so now everyone suddenly understands how to be civil and rational when it comes to dissenting perspectives on art and entertainment. The irony writes itself. 1 2
liam13 Posted June 18 Posted June 18 i hope the admins allow this thread and all taylor's hate and criticism threads will be posted in or merged into this one. anyway, taylor swift i'll never forgive you for performing crazier as a mashup. you deserve prison but you won't get time
jonapova Posted June 18 Posted June 18 Has anyone watched this yet? Fantano's made a video called 'Taylor Swift is petty'
SapphireSky Posted June 18 Posted June 18 Ok this is getting boring now when will everyone move on from this

The people who don't want to move on can camp out here and the rest of the population of ATRL can explore the remainder of the forum in peace without being terrorized by a new thread about the antichrist of music every 3 hours.

PoisonedIvy Posted June 18 Author Posted June 18 Just now, Kern said: you made a thread specificaly made for dragging Taylor - isn't that the total opposite of what the goal should be...? Correct, that is why I am highlighting the irony. Everyone wants to criticize Taylor until they are literally given the podium and presented the opportunity on a silver platter. Anyway, it's just a slow burn — I'm sure it will take off over time, as long as the mods allow it to continue existing.

Burn Posted June 18 Posted June 18 This is bizarre. If people dragging your fave affects you so much that you need to make a thread like this then maybe you need to fall back from stanning for a while. It really shouldn't affect you this much personally. 4
Virgos Groove Posted June 18 Posted June 18 Not Swifties gentrifying Taylor Swift hate... I've seen it all. 10
