You have failed to read the thread and are attributing your failure to read to "hysterics." Complain about her music as much as you want . . . it's when you make fun of music that you admit you haven't listened to that I'm going to make fun of you for your own hysterics.
It’s amazing or possibly troubling how people can be insulted about someone not getting this obsessive appeal of Taylor Swift.
When did I make fun of her music? I said I don’t see anything special about it. How is that making fun of it?
Since you can't remember what you wrote, you called her music "teeny bopper" music, despite admitting that you hadn't actually listened to it.
Ok. Maybe I did say that. I’ll stick with my comment that she’s not “especially attractive.” Why are you insulted by that? Do you worship her? Do you have a shrine dedicated to her in your home? The obsession with her is highly amusing. She doesn’t have just tabs. She has a cult following. They appear to be potential Kool Aid drinkers.
You had talked about her looks and her music while claiming you had done neither. You had done both. You claim people are "cult" just for noticing what you actually wrote. If you didn't want people to read it, then you shouldn't have written it.
Jeebus. Not being obsessed with her or being unimpressed by her music really gets to some. It’s disturbing to see an entertainer having so much power over shallow impressionable people.
In other words she isn't YOUR type. I'm not really a fan but I don't care if others like her the way you seem to.
You can dislike her music or looks all you want. Just don't lie about it. I'm sorry that you think that only "shallow impressionable people" care about telling the truth. Expand your horizons! Learn that other people can also tell the truth!
I am not a Taylor Swift fan but the reason I originally replied to your statements is because you asked what is the big deal with Taylor Swift, she is average looking. That statement implies that a woman can only be a big deal if they are attractive. Why was it important for you to add her looks into the assessment of her accomplishments? Are her accomplishments not impressive enough to make her a "big deal" if she is only average looking? Could your daughter or grand daughter never be a big deal if they are only average looking?
The way I seem to? What makes you think that. I don’t see anything special about her. I find this national obsession fairly troubling. I think it demonstrates how our culture is in decline. A pop star is one of the most revered people in America.
An indicted gameshow host who attempted to overthrow democracy is the head of one of our two major parties. We'll be okay with a musician encouraging people to register to vote. We'll make it! I promise!
Your first comment: "What’s the big deal with this average looking woman?" As for thin skinned, nope. I'm not in the least bit thin skinned. But I do find comments like those to say far more about the person making the comment than the subject of the comment. I find comments like those to be reductive based solely upon something over which a person has no control. When their 'skill' or 'talent' or 'claim to fame' is based upon their looks (like a model), it makes sense to judge their appearance. But when their offering to the world has to do with talent or kindness or intelligence, it is horribly reductive to judge their appearance. But hey, fill yer boots.
The obsession with women is getting more obvious and troubling. Not understanding her appeal is an insult to her crazed fans. Now someone is claiming that insulted her intelligence. She has a cult-like power over certain people.
No one, anywhere, at any point in time, has criticized you for "not understanding her appeal." Don't like her? Then don't like her! No on cares! She's not a Trump-like cult figure. No one is ever going to say you have TDS when it comes to Taylor. You were made fun of because you insulted her appearance (while being dishonest about doing so) and insulted her music (while being dishonest about doing so). If you had owned up to either of these, no one would have cared. But you didn't own up to it. You were being dishonest.
Her obsessed fans are in a complete state of awe over this pop singer. Anything less than complete adoration for this women is viewed as blasphemous.
Now you inserted Trump. Lol. Nowhere did I insult her music. Finding something not special is not an insult. It certainly does appear that some people do care about one’s thoughts that her current music isn’t anything special or something which will be remembered and listened to a decade from now. I haven’t claimed anyone made fun of me either. They have however misrepresented my comments about her. Her fans sure take it personally when one says that they don’t find anything about her particularly appealing.
You as well of others are consumed with hero worship with this woman. She’s a freaking pop music star for crying out loud. These are the same people who were formerly obsessed with so called Boy Bands. They are outraged and insulted when others are not equally in awe of her.
Someone is still failing to read. Try again. One word at a time this time. You can hate her music as much as you want. No one cares. You can hate her looks all you want (or pretend to, anyway), and no one cares. It's when you FAKE having listened to her music in order to insult it that I'm going to make fun of you, which is what I did. If you still can't understand this elementary concept, I can hold your hand some more and explain it, but your average adult should be able to grasp something this simple.
I didn’t say that I hate her music. I said I couldn’t identify it and what I have heard is nothing special. Obviously some people care about that. nor did I say I hate her looks. I said I don’t find her especially attractive. Obviously some care about that too. Where did I insult her music? Is it an insult to say I find it nothing special?
