Oh, whatever. I'm so tired of the crazy hate for Taylor Swift. Yeah, she's rich, and she has a public persona. But she also seems pretty cool, and even if she isn't, who the eff cares.

It doesn't make you cool to hate Taylor Swift. It just makes you another tired voice in a very outplayed chorus.

Plus, if you really want to criticize a celebrity, why not take your pick of the dozens of domestic abusers parading about with awards. I mean, really. If your problem is that she's a celebrity who's not perfect, there are plenty worse targets.

I'm honestly tired of the crazy hate female pop singers get in general, tbh. Several other artists have pulled their music off of Spotify too, and I've never heard anyone talk about that.

The issue became a story because of her popularity, not the fact that she's female.

Pretty sure if One Direction did the same they'd get slammed for it too.

Or anyone who was at the pinnacle of popularity at the time they did it.

So we should be careful to only expression negative opinions about the worst celebrities? Maybe like... the top five or something, and the rest who are guilty of lesser douchebaggery get a pass?

What a weird argument.

I'm not saying you can't express your dislike for anyone in particular. Or that you have to limit to the worst people. I'm just so. tired. of the over the top aggressive hatred Taylor Swift gets. It seems so, so unnecessary to me. To listen to some people, you'd think she was the antichrist come to earth to destroy everything good. And honestly, the more I listen to it, the more I'm convinced that a lot does come from this misogynistic place where girls can't be successful without being terribly flawed.

Criticize whoever you want. Just be honest about the fact that if you're going on about Taylor Swift being the *worst*, you're ignoring a hell of a lot of worse people who often get a pass because they're "talented." And that's bullshit.

Implying she cares about making money more than providing free music for fans doesn't really sound like over the top hate. It sounds like someone disagrees with her legitimate, arguably sound business decision. The very worst thing the secret implies (and I stress, implies) is that her public persona doesn't fit with her business decisions and... well, that's true, like it's true for most artists.

So yeah... if that's calling someone the antichrist, you must live in a world full of fluffy kittens and lollipops.

Late response is late, but I'm not saying the OP of the secret is calling her the antichrist or hates her in a spectacular way. I'm saying some people express absolutely over the top hatred of her and display this (to my mind) irrational desire to bash everything about her. I'm responding more to the general discourse around Taylor Swift than this particular secret, though this comment does feed into it, in that I think it's kind of unnecessarily focused criticism, particularly given the secret-maker's tone of "NOW you'll see how terrible and disingenuous she truly is! She wants MONEY!!!!!!"

Say what you want about her business decisions, her music, her lyrics, whatever. You don't even have to like her as a person! I just want people to be honest about why they feel such visceral, unreserved *hatred* for a young woman they don't know. (Hint: it's not because she's actually awful.)

There's a difference between never criticizing and constantly hating on/finding every little reason to hate.
