look how much i don’t care guys, i made a monument to the things i don’t care about.
not caring about things is not a virtue. you want people to care about something else you should work on that messaging. “you’re stupid to care about this” is reddit atheist coded bullshit that has never worked in the history of mankind.

It’s possible to not give a fuck about Taylor Swift, but still care about her and her fellow billionaires outright destroying the world while glitzy magazines treat them as main characters in a soap opera, just going about their glamorous exploits and intrigue. It is fucking stupid to celebrate Taylor Swift’s anything, for as long as she remains a prime example of everything that is going wrong in the world: massive hoarding of wealth in a winner takes all economy obsessed with intangible assets (notably bands and song rights), excessive personal consumption and burning of fossil fuels, hyper commercialized culture mostly void of artistic expression.
I don’t mind people that like her songs, but I’m fairly certain Swifties should be designated a death cult.

Imo it is fucking stupid to care about this stuff though. Celebrity worship is a cancer. Obsessing about the love lives of total strangers because they’re famous is not only pointless but also destructive.

i don’t care about it but i also find the air of superiority from people who boast about not caring about this to be worse than actually caring about it. everyone cares about stupid shit. people just talk about this because it’s more demographically aligned with women. there’s disproportionate hate towards things women tend to like because we’re taught from childhood that it’s uncool.
guarantee most of the people shitting on it here either mald about some ladder they’re unhealthily trying to climb, or have a pokemon card collection, or treat that one movie they found to be super cool as their bible or some shit.
let people enjoy what they like. don’t act you only care about the environment and world hunger.

because society pushes women to like these things under social pressure. it’s kind of gross. there’s nothing wrong with things women like, but this is manufactured. But hey, better than MAGA’s worshipping drump.
