I’ve only ever been aware of snark subs existing to bring awareness to people being shown on the internet that are actively HURTING people. The first one I ever was on was a Dan Schneider forum in 2010, I’ve seen the 8 Passengers sub, Shane Dawson sub, Eugenia Cooney etc. The draw to these were always “these people are harming others/children/themselves and we can clearly see it, how is this being allowed? We need to talk about it”. I had no idea these existed for the sole purpose of just talking shit?!! About people who just “annoy” them? Taylor Swift dating a football player and selling collectors editions of her albums doesn’t feel “snark” worthy to me at all 😂

[@Kawaiicarly]

So true! I also fully believe a fair amount of these deranged haters, were once fans and they felt some perceived slight or betrayal from the person they have a parasocial relationship with.

I don't think ALL Taylor Swift criticism is misogyny (and to think so is clown behaviour) but there's certainly a lot of casual misogyny displayed from her haters who claim to be progressives themselves. It shouldn't be this hard to call out a woman without resorting to slutshaming or bodyshamimg her. People on the internet make 'jokes' about k*lling her young fans (even the ones that aren't being asshats online), constantly discuss her body, whether she has 'sex appeal' or not, fault her for having many relationships, compare her with Elon, Trump and even H*tler, reduce her whole discography to only being about her boyfriends etc and these gets TONS of likes, mind you. Idgaf about stan wars, we shouldn't abandon our morals because of some celebrities who don't know us.

It's the way that when people talk about a song, all they discuss is the celeb gossip and drama surrounding the relationship instead of the artistry and the emotional themes or storytelling etc. It's just a very shallow way to engage with music imo. I'm also not very eloquent but what I'm trying to say is that people use "she only writes songs about her boyfriends" as an INSULT when like a lot of pop artists write primarily about their relationships and it's never a topic of concern.

As a Taylor fan, there are valid reasons to criticize her just as there are valid reasons to criticize any celebrity.

They’re up in arms about her jet usage but don’t say a word about other celebrities who also use private jets a ton (especially ones who use their jet more than her!). NO ONE should be a billionaire but again, they don’t have this same energy for other billionaire pop stars. Selena Gomez and Rihanna are also billionaires but it’s like Taylor is the only one they care about. And don’t get me started on the misogyny and how they would NEVER hold men to the same standard. It’s almost as if half of these people don’t actually care that much about said issues, they just don’t like Taylor and feel the need to nitpick every single thing they can find. And if Taylor is on their mind this much, then they too are in a parasocial relationship haha. Some Taylor haters are literally more obsessed with her than swifties and I suggest they look inward.

It makes me disappointed in D’Angelo that he can pontificate on a white woman billionaire’s experience of misogyny, when a lot of Taylor’s actions have been nothing but inaction and silence when WOC are abused on her account. Idk. There are many valid critiques.

[@kelly1453]

@@Neomie92 I am black. I am on black Twitter. You say that swifties have been attacking Kayla, and I agree some of them are insane and that is out of order. I’ve also seen a lot of Kayla fans attacking and bodyshaming Taylor for months. Every other week, there is a viral tweet about Travis downgrading to Taylor. I went to Kayla’s comments after her podcast episode and almost all the comments were insulting Taylor’s body and looks in comparison to Kayla. No one seems to care about this. Why? Again, it seems that many snarkers are only interested in the things that Taylor and Taylor adjacents (Travis, swifties etc) are doing, but no interest in calling out literally anything else. This makes a lot of their criticisms (some very valid in a vacuum, some completely false and based on rumours and opinions) come off as hypocritical and obsessive.

Right!!

But I think most people are normal and the crazies are more vocal (therefore overrepresented), and I don’t get the need to be so emotionally charged about her. When I’m liking her music she’s on my feed, when I’m paying attention to other artists she doesn’t show up as much. People really don’t get how feeding an algorithm works - rage or love is all the same when the metric only measures attention and engagement. To an extent they’re doing it to themselves

We were all collectively annoyed by the favoritism and the butt kissing the nfl did for taylor by showing her every time the chiefs made a play. And then the sub started to get more snarky and it wasnt just about football anymore but both of them in general. The sub even changed the theme to be a snark sub. The snarkiness went past, "oh there they are again" to Taylor is disgusting, Taylor should be banned, Taylor is sabotaging other pop girls careers. It started to remind me of the one scene in mean girls where Janice and Ian caught Cady having her house party and Cady lied to Janice about not going to her art show. She tells Cady, "You're not pretending anymore. You're just like them (the mean girls) cold, shiny, hard, plastic." That sub has become nothing but bullying and frivolous and childish complaining.

For context, that’s part of a quote from Taylor Swift when she addressed her Vienna concerts being cancelled due to planned terrorism attacks (linked to ISIS or at least planned by men/boys inspired by ISIS). She didn’t post anything about it until after her next set of shows (London) were completed and her team was back in the US. There are probably a 100+ good reasons to have waited to address until after the London shows, including not wanting to inspire copy cats. She worked closely with London police and literally hired new security with anti-terrorism expertise to get through those shows. I’ll also just note a new “fun fact” I learned - the only shows she’s cancelled were for a military coupe in Thailand, Covid shutdowns, and now the planned terrorist attacks. Anyways, this snark subreddit was full of people saying TS doesn’t care about her fans and tons of super highly upvoted posts (thousands of upvotes, I think they even pinned one) about how “I work in ___ and I can tell you there is no issue with Taylor immediately posting something like ‘heartbroken for my Vienna fans.’ This is just evidence she only cares about money.” They were extremely *unhinged* about it all, and that’s why part of their sub bio is making fun of TS’s “sometimes silence is showing restraint” quote which again.. is in reference to waiting to address planned terror attacks until after another 4 concerts were safely finished.

I have been lurking on that subreddit for a few months, and I agree that there are some valid criticisms.

Even though she's a billionaire, addiction is still not something to joke around about. It's still so odd to think about how extreme people can be when talking about Taylor Swift, and I'm referring to both fans and haters.

[@bruhyouare6720]

As a swiftie I think there is a lot of valid reasons to criticize her, like her CO2 emitions, wasteful merch and the Ticketmaster saga but when it gets to hating on her for your pleasure it gets kinda sad

[@findtheeyes]

How much of the Ticketmaster thing was her fault though? Genuinely asking, because I don't know much about that particular situation but I do know that Ticketmaster doesn't need any help in being problematic as hell.

[@elsasalah]

​@@findtheeyesno what ticketmaster did was not her fault in the slightest. She actually handled it extremely well and got praised. I don't know what op's talking about.

[@ashleybee00]

@@findtheeyesit wasn’t her fault at all. she was even one of the few artists who didn’t turn on dynamic pricing because she wanted them to be affordable. Ticketmaster gave codes to scalpers and that’s where the issue arose

I don’t like Taylor at all. But it’s crazy on that sub…I made a post that advocated not commenting on her body, and I got shredded and the post was taken down 20 minutes later. I now feel shame about being on that subreddit at all. I really wish I had a neutral place to express my frustrations about billionaires, including Taylor, Elon, Zuckerberg…I have even had issues with Rihanna, and I still love her music. I feel like I can’t express my frustrations anywhere. 😮‍💨

[@pseudonims]

Also, I used to be grumpy as a native Tennessean that she started with country even though she was from PA-and then I went to PA and realized how huge the country/folk influence is there. And then I was like, “oh. Actually, makes sense.”

[@elsasalah]

I actually discovered it a few weeks ago and I was baffled like the level of obsession with a person could not be by a sane individual. I'm convinced those people are the ones who have a little sanctuary with her pictures and "I hate taylor swift" written all over it in red lol On a serious note, she does have people's extreme obsession to her through out her career, they just got braver because its not unhinged to hate on her anymore.

[@kimberlylopez3230]

I think hating on Taylor Swift because she’s a billionaire or a capitalist and not criticizing other musicians and actor (looking at you JayZ & Rihanna fans) is hypocritical.

@@MegaVega2007 actually, my concern isn't really for Taylor. Hate sucks, it eats away at you.

Simping? More like we don't give a f about those billionaires that's why we don't create an ENTIRE snark subreddit that judges everything one person did.

[@cedarmoss7173]

I think when people find that the thing that brought them joy, that they invested in and thought about often, starts to change into something they don’t like they have to grieve it. And expressing that grief, which you have to do somehow in order to move on, can get messy when they don’t understand where all this anger and disappointment is coming from. To them it just looks like the rose tint in their glass got switched with a weird shade of green. Of course that’s not an excuse to be so awful. They keep feeding into the hate instead of moving onto the next step in the process. They don’t know that they can take a step back from it and ask themselves why any of this matters and why they feel the need to hate so violently. I think it’s very helpful to remind someone that the hell they’re making isn’t normal but it’s even more helpful to ask them questions to help them find their way out. Telling someone tangled in vines in the middle of nowhere “you’re lost” and then leaving them there is like, cruel in shiny new way that no one was ready for.

[@bath4701]

my swiftly neutral comments keep getting deleted 😢😢 so all i'm gonna say is that sub can delve into unhinged snarker territory sometimes. the golden globes and grammy megathreads are actually wild...armchair diagnosing a woman YOU DON'T KNOW with BPD and then claiming you're a 'neutral sub'...alright.

[@Kyliedawn13]

As a Swiftie, the world is far more critical of Taylor for her gender and relationships than anything that actually matters. It makes it so hard for people who genuinely critique her and her massive problems. It gets overshadowed by (internalized) misogyny and downright sexism
