I Am Going To Say Something That Might Piss People On This Site Off, And That Is That The Stabbing At

I am going to say something that might piss people on this site off, and that is that the stabbing at a Taylor Swift themed event in Southport does not exist in a vacuum.

It exists in a world where a joke about bringing a nail gun to the Eras tour to shoot fans gets 400k likes on TikTok, or where a reel about crashing a plane full of Swifties gets 200k likes on Instagram. It exists in a world where, on this very website, the one that promotes itself as rational and reasonable, someone says that "Taylor Swift and her fans should all die violent horrible deaths" and people applauded it. It exists in a world where, during TTPD release week men were in Swifties' comment sections declaring they would beat their daughters and girlfriends if they ever so much as listened to one of her albums. And it exists in a world where this week, fans of a TV show (which I will not name because that is not the point) sent death threats to a girl on Twitter for daring to be a fan of both their beloved show and Taylor Swift.

I don't give a fuck what your opinion of Taylor Swift is. I don't care if you think her music is grating, I don't care if you think she is the worst thing to happen to humanity since Eve ate the god damn apple. This is the dark side of stan culture that no-one talks about; where dislike of an artist becomes so obsessive that it becomes normal, even funny, to joke about killing their fans, because "it's just online, it's just a joke". It isn't. It is rarely ever "just online".

And yes I am going to be That Person and say that you can complain about Swift's brand of feminism and debate her position as a feminist icon all day long, at the end of the day, her name is still synonymous with girls. It doesn't take a genius to work out who this event was geared at.

I am not going to sit and claim that by simply not liking Taylor Swift you directly caused this. I would encourage you to step back, look at the bigger picture of stan culture, including obsessive dislike of an artist, and ask yourself how much this culture has enabled this. If making jokes on tiktok about killing someone over a pop star is normalised, how much of a leap is it to attacking kids with a knife at a fan event?

and of course there is the fact that the british media didn't even wait until those kids were buried before using this event to spread their racist, anti-immigrant agenda despite the race of the attacker not being known. all I can say to that is I am sickened and disappointed but not shocked.

Has anyone confirmed Style isn't Taylor's cry for help after being sold to One Direction and Fresh Out The Slammer isn't about them finally letting her go

Might I add peace?

Maybe I just need to make a sokeefe playlist

what if I said 'the lakes' is sokeefe coded? what then?

No this is the perfect comparison

Have you noticed how Sophie's love for Fitz is similar to Annabeth's love for Luke? and how much is Sophie's love for Keefe like Annabeth's love for Percy?

Let me explain, Sophie and Annabeth fell in love with the golden boy who saved them from their unhappy lives, it's what we call love at first sight. But it's partly based on looks and this idea of ​​perfection that Annabeth and Sophie clung to. They were fans of Luke and Fitz, acted like little girls with a crush on the perfect “star”.

Annabeth and Sophie's love for Keefe and Percy happened very gradually thanks to the events they experienced and the moments they shared, that's what we call true love. They don't like Percy and Keefe because they are perfect / Golden boy, they loves them for their character but also because they understand them better than anyone

and that's why I HATE the love at first sight dynamic... especially when it's based on beauty with fan girls and perfect boys it's so cliché... I love it so much when the characters slowly fall in love because it has more meaning and it's much stronger and sooooo much deeper

Literally just let her exist. If she wants us to know something, she'll tell us but she owes us NOTHING. Not her relationships, not her music, not her body. Let Taylor be Taylor without demanding information that we aren't entitled to.

i saw in a community post over on X speculating about the new outfits being “roomier” and hiding taylor’s “unannounced pregnancy” or something along those lines. i got banned from the community group for calling it out so cannot remember the exact wording or who posted it, but that is besides the point.

i’ve also seen a few posts similar to this on several other social media platforms about similar topics relating to taylor being pregnant in the last few months and want to say that this is a topic that is not only insane but is incredibly insensitive to be speculating about- and if you are one of those people - please kindly go outside and touch some grass. this isn’t something that should be speculated on at all. 🩵

love and light to everyone, no malice intended behind this. i simply feel the need to speak up against it because it’s getting a little bit out of control. 😭

we don’t know taylor, and we don’t know travis. stay out of their personal lives, they only show us what they want us to see. 🫶🏻
