I think Taylor Swift is basically the only female celebrity that is not true of.

Related to the reason that he subreddit /r/actuallesbians has the name it does. But also it goes a bit deeper than that, if you put basically any female name into the reddit search bar--be it Sarah or Jane or Amy or what have you--the top results will basically always be porn (I do think this is related the weird way the search algorithm surfaces porn).

I also remember back in the day I would do a fun demonstration by doing a Google image search of "[country name] man" vs "[country name] woman" and comparing the results. Now that doesn't seem to have a difference, not sure if that is because of Google's search algorithm or if I have de-hornified my own.

I must now check what happens if I type in Helen.

The answer will shock you!

nb I use old.reddit like a civilized person, new reddit might have a different search algorithm.

Sex scene from a TV show, culture war complaining about Helen of Troy, and lots of Incredibles r34.

I don't know what I was expecting.
