Things I've seen gaylors say in response to the (rightful) backlash of TLOASG:
1) "Um it's not racist cause some POC said it wasn't! Why aren't we listening to those POC?"
2) "Taylor can't be racist! She has POC and queer friends!"
3) "It's russian bots!"
4) "cancel culture has gone too far"

Why have I seen more than one gaylor tiktoker compare Taylor’s potential dog whistle with other *non-harmful* forms of signaling (e.g. queer flagging, rave kandi)? 💀💀💀💀
This just feels like a way for white people to deflect and gaslight our concerns

a hot take for you is that I think Hank Green is an annoying, self-important neoliberal who often speaks authoritatively on subjects he lacks the life experience (as a wealthy, middle-aged white dude) to grasp

yeah i think being a poc just as a taylor swift fan in general is a bit difficult bc of how majority white the space is, thankfully there are thoughtful and inclusive spaces like this one but it’s a huge reason i didn’t participate in online swift spaces until i became a gaylor

Last nite on #DWTS,,, when judging,,, you hit your score on a computer first,,, then hold up the sign. I accidentally hit 9 for someone and told the crew I meant to hit 10,,, and they said they can’t change it and there’s nothing I can do. That girl deserved perfect 10s.

“It might be that it’s just a ‘marriage of convenience’ between a bunch of different groups reacting to wokeness and progressivism.”
That’s certainly one way to phrase that.

My Soup (Maroon)
![My Soup (to the tune of Maroon)
[Verse 1]
When the evening came
We were cleaning breadcrumbs off your tabletop
'Cause we lost track of time again
Laughing with my spoon in your stew
Like you were my closest friend
"How'd we end with bellies full, anyway?" you say
"Your roommate's chicken noodle soup, eh? that's how"
I see soup every day now
[Pre-Chorus]
And I chose soup
The one I was dunking with
In bread bowls, no spoons
Looked up at the pot and it was (my soup)
[Chorus]
The bourguignon on my t-shirt
When you splashed your wine into soup
And how the broth rushed into my roux
So soupy, it was
The mark thеy saw on my countertop
The crust that grew in the oven hot
The sips I used to call home
So slurpy, it was my soup](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:lxeqih6oaxgls7qm53g64zxt/bafkreicsuwiofc6slzr6rv7gfk5nvm4bjlpgvfoni4giwymkxa3psef66i@jpeg)
![[Verse 2]
When the burning came
We were shaking rags and towels
How the hell did we lose track of time again?
Sobbing with your bowl in your hands
Ain't that the way rouxs always end?
You were standing hollow-eyed in the kitchen
Cilantro you had thought was parsley, that's us
I fill bowls, no matter what
The shallots that I gave up
[Pre-Chorus]
And I lost soup
The one I was dunking with
In bread bowls, no spoons
Looked up at the pot and it was (my soup)
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
And I stir with a wooden spoon round and round
That's a real yummy soup to eat, soup to eat (It was my soup)
And I stir with a wooden spoon round and round
That's a real yummy soup to eat,
[Chorus]
[Outro]
It was my soup
It was my soup](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:lxeqih6oaxgls7qm53g64zxt/bafkreibwdqbpqzkqzqhwkdjk2v4oxgxh65r4w2yovtoac7yytvybhtlm5u@jpeg)

projecting some set of imaginary convictions onto a woman who’s made clear she only stands by her money is exhausting me to no end. when people show you who they are *through their consistent actions* (not via their lyricism, which you’re interpreting to fit your preferred narrative)…. listen

When I call out white woman for racism, their first response is often something along the lines of “why are you expecting me to be perfect 🥺🥺🥺🥺”
Calling out someone does not mean you expect them to be perfect. But using this as a way to shut down the conversation *is* a deflection tactic
