Is Taylor Swift talented?
Calling any woman botched and old then saying she doesn't deserve her husband based on that is misogynistic

Is Taylor Swift talented?
So gross and misogynistic

Is Taylor Swift talented?
She is an excellent writer, good singer and can play multiple instruments. A talentless person could not make albums like Red or Folklore. She is clearly the main person steering her music and doesn't have to be overly-reliant on others. It doesn't mean every thing she does is amazing but to call her talentless is just delusional.

Is the Harry Potter series about to flop?
It feels like there isn't much hype but I don't know if that's just my bubble. Harry Potter is still hugely popular unfortunately (I teach kids and a lot of them are just getting into it). I think its success will depend on if it's good or not. Fantastic Beasts was bad and ended up being a flop. Hogwarts Legacy was good and smashed.

What do you feel is the hardest part about growing up?
Realising all the things you expected to just happen/slot into place like being able to buy a house, meet the right person, find a fulfilling job won't just happen and might never happen especially in the current late stage capitalist hellscape we live in. Also just feeling like you never have enough time or energy to do things.

What do Chinese people really think of LGBT in 2026?
Even in China, it can vary a lot but I think younger people are generally accepting but almost every Chinese queer person I know isn't out to their parents even in Hong Kong which is generally much more socially progressive. Whilst, it's not the worst place to be gay, the Chinese government is generally not supportive under the guise of family values and restricts media content showing gay people (BL is still hugely popular despite this). Shanghai and Hong Kong pride are also no longer a thing sadly. That being said, I went to a gay club in Guangzhou and it was awesome. Shenzhen sucked though!

In 2026, what exactly is the difference between BTS and Taylor Swift anymore?
Both are great and talented artists. The way OTH are frothing at the mouth at one re-release getting bad reviews is concerning. Music critics are not even relevant in the age of streaming.

Did you ever think Taylor Swift would be a panned artist?
ATRL doing the most as always calling an artist panned because one album out of 12 got bad reviews. Re-releasing Showgirl was a dumb move on her part and hopefully will allow her to reflect and make something better for TS13.

Why is the gay community only getting more toxic/superficial over time?
It's more that the internet has gotten more toxic and we are often more likely to see the most extreme voices but most queer people I meet irl are quite nice and chill.

Thoughts on communism?
I don't know if Commmunism is achievable but it's not a coincidence that most countries that rank highest for quality of life have the most generous social welfare policies and would be considered the most left wing (at least economically). I think we should at least work for policies that give power to workers and encourage the sharing of resources and wealth.

Is it racist to tell someone they look like certain nationality?
I think it depends on the context but if it's the first thing you message him then yes.

Is this true about gay men and dating?
I don't think it's just gay people but yes, people are expecting perfection and Hollywood romance that just isn't realistic. Look at any thread about Troye Sivan who is a conventionally attractive man albeit not a hunk or supermodel. It's fine to be attracted to someone obviously but the constant need to be judgemental is a plague.
