Why must people be so rude to swifties.

Postby Thanks so much » Sun Jan 19, 2025 4:38 am

I don’t really get bullied that much, the only thing I get bullied for is being a swiftie, when I identified with he/him pronouns still people were much much ruder about it. Why do we live in a world where you get made fun of for your music taste, and why must men feel scared to admit they like Taylor swift. People act like they effect me when they say “Kanye is better” I really don’t care, what I care about it when online sickos will say those kids that died a few months back at a Taylor swift birthday party “deserved it for being swifties” I hate how we live in a world where either a there are sickos who genuinely think children deserve to die for liking a music artist, or b don’t actually think that and just say it to get a reaction. And I really think Taylor swift has the biggest example of this, I have never seen ANYBODY with as many incredibly loyal fans, but also so many people who despise them.

I don’t like being scared to like a music artist, a few years back I just stopped caring, now I talk about Taylor all the time, and just ignore the rude people. I’ve been a swiftie for like 10 years but most people outside of my family didn’t know until like 3 or 4 years ago.

Why can’t Swifties just be left alone…

This feels very much like a teenage problem. They don't bully you because you are a Swifty person per se. They bully you to get a reaction, and they've found how to do it.

Obviously it's easier said than done to go "Just ignore it" but it does get easier when you don't really care about how other people think about what you enjoy.

There's a possibility that the swiftie population might have increased in the near future, but bullying could get more harsher and more evil tactics were likely used as time goes by. I may be not be a Taylor Swift fan, but it seems that the people were having none about the swifties ruining the brains of other people.

Simply this.
Also, there is no objective right/wrong qua music; it's mostly taste. If somebody's music sound nice to you, it succeeds to please you. If not, it probably isn't your taste.

People get angry at people for liking things that go against their personal tastes all the time, and this includes Swifties. While I'm not a big fan of Taylor Swift (I listened to some of her songs in elementary school) and I personally find the biggest Swifties annoying (because of how they act, not what they listen to), it's still wrong to hate on someone for listening to whoever the hell they want to listen to.

But they’re wrong.
How can you even be wrong about art?
If you like a piece of art others may find boring, are you in the wrong? No right? You simply have a different taste than the majority.
Imagine, for a moment, that scientists discovered your music taste is objectively wrong.
Does that mean it's a good idea for others to be rude against you? No. And before you argue it's "bad" because the majority thinks so, it's still art.
There's still some people who like it, and if you don't, you have the possibility to listen to something else. People don't need to be rude against them.
