    It’s celebrity news regarding a known white supremacist, her fanbase is notoriously disgusting and racist and often attacks people of color.

    This community doesn’t need that kind of garbage, there’s plenty of it on reddit

      The kind of garbage this community doesn’t need are your blatant lies.

      What nonsense. If Lemmy is gonna be full of shit like this, maybe it’s not for me.

        Redditors are already turning it into Reddit. Logical arguments get voted down and following the hive gets voted up.

      I don’t follow Swift or her die-hard fans, but this white supremacist" bit is news to me. Is this a real documented fact, or the usual overblown internet reaction to an assumption based on an extrapolation from a decade-old retweet?

          From a quick search, it appears that a bunch of white supremacists revere her as something like a goddess, and the feeling is absolutely not mutual - in 2019, she unambiguously and firmly denounced white supremacy and alt-right stuff in general in a Rolling Stone interview.

            Why do they revere her? Like I get that she is a very beautiful white woman, but there are lots of those. There has to be more than just “she’s hot and white so we’ve made her our goddess” right?
