    Why the fuck does someone as vanilla as Taylor Swift seem to upset extremists so much? She seems so generic and inoffensive that people would have a hard time being angry with her.

      This particular attack probably had nothing to do with any of this, but she could probably be described as offensive from the economic equality standpoint, because she is a billionaire, from the environmental justice standpoint, because she is a frequent private-jet user, and from the music scene standpoint, because she seemingly intentionally pushes out other female artists from billboard spots by re-releasing albums in specific locations/time periods during which her peers are releasing their albums.

      In this case, I think it was more about the crowds being massive.

      Possibly also because many of them would be underage.

      She is a face for modern femininity, not saying that that is her goal, but a lot of women do admire her.

      So if you don’t think she’s a good role model for women, and you’re a complete lunatic, attacking her events to oppress women’s feeling of empowerment does check out.
