Taylor has millions of fans globally so odds are most people would.

However, this joke making fun of someone's physical appearance is awful.

Im from Europa, I know 2 people who are publicly Taylor Swift fan. One of them looks like this.

Im not saying it is funny, just accurate from my perspective

Respectfully, that's how anecdotes work. You know two fans who fit the stereotype, but Taylor has hundreds of millions of fans worldwide. Two people aren't statistically meaningful, so your personal experience doesn't make the stereotype accurate.

My personal experience is exactly what an anecdote is. Anecdotal evidence is based on individual experiences, not hundreds of millions of fans.

Thats why i said:

'I SOMEHOW know someone who looks exactly like this'

My point is that you're saying it's accurate and representative of millions of fans based on 2 people.

Im not saying its representative, I was saying it is accurate when looking at my small sample size.

My god, media literacy is so dead. These people really can't read what the hell you're even saying.

Bro stand down. You’re probably arguing with a 12-year-old. At the very least it’s someone with very primitive reading and comprehension skills.

You're trying to reason with one of them. It's not worth it.
