#I don’t care to defend billionaires but I’m seeing soooo many men just weaponise these times to hate on her just bc she’s a woman

I only criticise Taylor Swift to other swifties or to genuinely progressive people. Because as soon as I criticise her to an outsider who dislikes her, they take that as an opportunity to hate on her but it tends to come from a place of misogyny.
Yes, no one should be allowed to use a private jet to take a 13 minute flight. That’s objectively a gross use of privilege and wealth. And billionaires should do what they can to decrease their carbon footprint (e.g. see Coldplay’s efforts to plan their tour in an environmentally friendly way).
That’s all obvious. The issue is that so many people criticise her under the guise of caring about something that they don’t actually care about. I feel like it comes from a place of misogyny in these cases because they don’t reserve the same thinking for their own favourite celebrities.
I just wish people would actually care about current issues instead of weaponising them to target someone they don’t like. Let’s reserve this energy for all billionaires. Let’s eat the rich and leave none of them out yk? Hoarding that much wealth is objectively an immoral act. However, hating Taylor Swift while worshipping Elon Musk or Travis Scott just proves that so many of these people are coming from a place of deep rooted misogyny instead of caring about the environment or about helping disadvantaged groups.
[Obviously this excludes minority groups - especially POC groups - because she has a history of either hurting or ignoring these groups or people directly (e.g. see The Weeknds experience when he first met her and she made him feel really uncomfortable because she kept touching his hair and being weird)]
