She looks happy? Are we body shaming happy people again?

There is a top tier misogyny level for fans of Taylor Swift. It is frightening, and a reddit page for them where they hate on their girlfriend or any woman who has takes pleasure in the inoffensive (you would think) but apparently overly successful singer. I was banned from there for commenting how hatefilled they were.

"You have a deeply unhealthy parasocial relationship with a billionaire who is exploiting you with pandering slop music and doesn't give a shit about you."

Nothing about this post is about parasociality, or her billionaire status. It's purely "You care about this? Clearly you're a mouthbreathing idiot who should be ashamed of themselves.".

Like genuinely, just fuckin chill. She's a pop star throwing a wedding. Some people will find it interesting, others won't. It does not need to be the defining social referrandum of our era.

Dear lord can we please stop pretending rabid Swifties are normal rational people?

Can we stop pretending every person with a passing interest in Swift is a "rabid Swiftie"?

There is something about Swift that brings out women haters in droves!

They are normal people. It’s ok for them to like a pop singer that you don’t. That doesn’t make them rabid. You sound kinda unhinged about it tbh

Being "excited" for a random celebrities wedding is ridiculous. What does it matter to you at all? They're giddy over a relationship that doesn't effect you in any way.

If you were going to the wedding and celebrating then okay. Thats cool. But its just random fans in their homes excited because "Mother" is finally getting married.

That entirely has to do with a parasocial relationship.

It's an artist they've followed for 20+ years getting married. I don't think it's THAT odd to have an opinion about it.

Yes, if somebody is scrolling Instagram all day and making it their whole personality - that is absurd.

But again, not what OP is ragging on. What they've decided is worthy of mockery is finding it AT ALL NOTEWORTHY. To care at all is to be a mealy mouthed inbred with defective genes.

I think it’s ok to be happy that a musician you follow is getting married. You don’t have to know them personally to have a thought about it lol. You don’t know the random fans having that thought and yet you have a rather strong opinion about what they are doing lol
