There will never be a young white girl who gets this kind of attention in America again so they should enjoy it while it lasts.

Olivia Rodrigo says hi.

 

[Your Starter for 10]

I just find it suspicious that not one single person has ever seen her legs.

 

[Ughubughughughughughghlug]

I hate Taylor Swift because I cannot and do not want to relate to the specific type of basic bitch White woman that idolizes her.

The machines,,,,

Fake pornographic images of Taylor Swift generated using artificial intelligence are circulating on social media, leaving her loyal legion of Swifties wondering how there’s not more regulation around the nonconsensual creation of X-rated images.
The images in question — known as “deepfakes” — show Swift in various sexualized positions at a Kansas City Chiefs game, a nod to her highly publicized romance with the team’s tight end Travis Kelce.
It wasn’t immediately clear who created the images or first shared them to X, though as of Thursday morning, “Taylor Swift AI” was trending on the platform, with more than 58,000 posts on the topic.
Swifties came together and tried to bury the images by sharing an influx of positive posts about the 34-year-old songstress.
“How is this not considered sexual assault??” one X user asked. “We are talking about the body/face of a woman being used for something she probably would never allow/feel comfortable how are there no regulations laws preventing this.”


“When i saw the taylor swift AI pictures, i couldn’t believe my eyes. Those AI pictures are disgusting,” another said.
Other outraged Swift fans called whoever created them “disgusting” and said instances like these “ruin the [AI] technology.”
“Whosoever released them deserves punishment,” yet another chimed in.



Swift’s publicist, Tree Paine, did not immediately respond to The Post’s request for comment.
President Biden signed an executive order to further regulate AI in October that prevents “generative AI from producing child sexual abuse material or producing non-consensual intimate imagery of real individuals,” among other things, including further oversight of the tech’s use in developing biological materials.



The order also demands that the federal government issue guidance “to watermark or otherwise label output from generative AI.”

Nonconsensual deepfake pornography has also been made illegal in Texas, Minnesota, New York, Hawaii and Georgia, though that hasn’t stopped the circulation of AI-generated nude images at high schools in New Jersey and Florida, where explicit deepfake images of female students were circulated by male classmates.

Aside from making the sharing of digitally altered intimate images a criminal offense, Morelle and Kean’s proposed legislation would allow victims to sue offenders in civil court.
In an example of how convincing this technology can be, several Swift fans were reportedly scammed out of hundreds of dollars earlier this month after tricksters released advertisements employing AI-generated video of the Grammy winner peddling Le Creuset in an attempt to steal money and data from fans.



The ads — which can be found across all social media platforms — show Swift, 34, standing next to the Le Creuset Dutch oven, which, according to the official website, runs anywhere from $180 to $750 depending on the size and style.
Last year, other deepfake images of Pope Francis in a Balenciaga puffer jacket and Donald Trump resisting arrest also took the internet by storm.

Ewwww. NPC transgender pop music. No thanks.

Taylor Swift is "you'll eat the bugs" in a form that vaguely resembles music.

BTW someone please post the deepfakes.

Olivia Rodrigo says hi.

Isn't she's considered a Brown woman, but her fanbase is mostly crackers?

The whole Swiftie thing is pure marketing. There will never be a young white girl who gets this kind of attention in America again so they should enjoy it while it lasts. Too bland to ever say or do anything controversial, she will keep singing about having crushes on boys in her 50s. It’s kind of pathetic but her fans and white girls in general are equally pathetic.

Someone else will come to America and replace her. Trends come and go. Look at Beatlemania and the Potterheads.

Anyways, the obsession with Swift is no more different than the stans of other music acts. Look at BTS. They're gotten little white girls in the West, and brown and yellow girls in the East to treat those plastic surgery femboys like gods. They build a parasocial relationship with a celeb and form their identity around them, including managing fan accounts on Instagram or YouTube. Many of these people likely have issues and use the parasocial relationship as a coping mechanism/escape. I'm not against people liking things, but someone who spends much of their day "stanning" someone is not completely right in the head.

Eventually, many people get over this. And they often look back at this period of life with regret, nostalgia or both. How many Swifties, BTS Army members, Beliebers, Arianators, etc do you think are over the age of 35? It's no surprise that the largest age demographics for these "stans" are children to mid-20 somethings.

I wish this thread was not posted because I was mulling over my own post asking to what extent there are negative critical reviews that disrupt the seemingly universal praise she receives. The claim is that unlike Britney Spears, Katy Perry, The Spice Girls, she writes her own songs but I am highly dubious of that claim. Is she in fact musically trained? Can she play an instrument? Is there any evidence to support my hunch that her sojngs are ghost-written?

Like other pop starts she seems planted by the industry. As far as I can tell all her songs fit three or four basic themes, and they are intensely woman centric, which is why I do not understand why so many men like her or at least tolerate her. Tony Dungy had some great criticism on the over saturation of her at Chiefs games, and most of the responses on Twitter are pro Swift, seemingly from football fans as well.

Anyway, are there no music critics who offer negative criticism?

I wonder how they'll use her during the Super Bowl.

So you didn't even try to make a lolcow thread?

Yeah, this would've been best placed in PG.

On a different note, was their a song by her that wasn't her shit taste in men?

You wanna make one? Go ahead.

I had always pegged her as an early-to-mid 2010s pop star so I was awfully confused when she got a weird boost out of nowhere. I think her music is very bland and inoffensive in the worst ways, but my girlfriend likes it and I suppose there’s worse things to listen to on a car ride.

You could argue that Slayer fans are the closest thing to a metal Swiftie.

The weird thing was, there was criticism of her ditching her country roots, as well as the criticism of only writing songs about breakups. Have no idea why that stopped.

I'd say unironic Metallica fans are. They haven't made a single good album since the Black Album (really ...And Justice For All but I will admit there are some gems on the Black album), yet I constantly see journos and other posers raise them for being the best metal band of all time. You know, instead of actually talented metal acts like Sabbath, Rush, UFO, Rainbow, Pantera, Dream Theater, etc. They are the definition of mediocre.

The cult of Taylor Swift is symptomatic of the concentration of power we’re seeing in all facets of society. She is the concentration of power in music while the internet is further monopolised and the middle class eroded away by mega corps. Governments are scrambling for control of the narrative online. She’s a symbol of decay, something beautiful to look at while the world rots around you. That’s appealing to people who want to dig their heads in the sand.

Probably because Metallica got more popular than those bands you mentioned. An easy recipe for resentment.

Right-winger Matt Walsh offers this commentary on how Swift could be decisive factor in the election.

It all comes to show that democracy is a mistake. And to my pleasant surprise, Matt Walsh says as much in this video.

And now it is time for something complete different How about some anti-TS memes:
