Not you saying that when the first 2 pages are full of crank over a non-Swiftie trolling y'all 

 

Did you pre-order your $80 USD book?

Nobody is forcing you to engage with me. I don't have to have preconceived notions about you when your actions on this site are indexed for anyone to see. 
 

We do this song and dance every time, and you always get clocked and run away with your tail between your legs and act like you're above stan discussions when you contradict yourself or when the posters aren't on your side. 
 

You have a long history of engaging, enabling, and instigating the very conversations you claim you're above whenever you get caught talking out your ass, and feel the need to position yourself as some mature poster when you take part in the same bullshit everyone else does.

Oh don't act like you are holier than thou all of a sudden either.  It's funny how you say you don't have preconceived notions and then you type the next two paragraphs.  
 

Most of my time on this site is in the politics threads talking about elections.  It's just you only seem to have an issue when I point out that certain members of the hive are all piling on with a specific narrative.  I don't see you popping up when I say this about monsters.

24 hours after Taylor released her highly anticipated Eras Tour book Beyonce randomly drops an art book for Cowboy Carter, thoughts? 

 

 

I can assure you no one is looking at Taylor for inspiration, let alone Beyonce.

1) I don't think I'm holier than thou. I already told you I'm acutely aware of my post history. I make a lot of shady posts, participate in a lot of arguments, and have understandably annoyed a number of people on this site. 
 

2) Nothing that I've posted about you are preconceived notions they're opinions derived from our literal interactions. That's the opposite of "preconceived" babe (https://www.dictionary.com/browse/preconceived-notion)

3) We have had many arguments over the years about many different topics. If I see you say something I think is asinine, I call it out. I am not your General Logic professor, I have the license to pick and choose when I think you're being stupid and when I think it's worth a response.

1) so you agree that you can be trolling sometimes.  So is your issue here just that someone is calling you out for it? 
 

2) On one of our first interactions praising Renaissance I recall you just flatly saying you didn't like me which is the preconceived notion I am

referring to.  That just always strikes me as odd. 
 

3) so what was particularly foolish here?

1) You never called me out for trolling. And I already stated I don't take personal offense to when you broadly complain about the Hive, because any debates I get into have a perspective I'm willing to logically defend.

 

2a) This is an obvious pivot, because you claimed those paragraphs I wrote represent a preconceived notion, which they don't 

 

2b) As far as I can recall, that post was neither our first time interacting nor my first time analyzing/dissecting your posts, so it still wouldn't fit the definition of a preconceived notion 

 

3) You complained about "Hive behavior" that you yourself engaged in, and then complained about people making generalizations that you yourself made. When called out, you then deflected rather than recognize your hypocrisy. I don't particularly care about you framing the Hive a certain way, but I called out that the accusation was rich coming from you specifically.

she'll do everything not to release the actual visuals (mvs)...

Balmain couture outfits for each Renaissance song, art book for CC, sculptures for act iii? 

[feelslikeadream]

I'm generally lenient with Off-Topic reports, but y'all need to stop fighting about fan bases in here.

 

Do not post in this thread if you're not talking about Beyoncé's new book, which you can purchase for $74, no free shipping. Thank you!

[travisqq]

Renaissance visuals sitting right there being pretty and bored yet she chose to release this

[Attaboy]

What an atrocious cover Bey 

[Gossip_Boy]

Well I just bought a bunch of vinyl records the other day…

 

But I probably wouldn't have paid that much for a photobook anyway. Maybe if they offered free shipping or smth.

They are clearly copying her! 

And all of them are copying the original pop diva that wore wigs while performing music

Swifties think Taylor did everything first. It's so embarrassing. They stay in their bubble 

This is rich coming from a fandom that was mad at Taylor for using a marching band

When Swifties were saying she was the first to use it then too?

No one ever said Taylor was the first artist in history to use a marching band

[BionicWooHoo]

She should have done it for Renaissance. That I would have bought as a coffee table book. Americana/western aesthetic is so tacky to me :/
