Travis and Taylor

[Anonymous]

In case you don’t want to click or read, here are two quotes:

“ Indeed, in one study of college students, the majority of participants interpreted alcohol consumption and heavy drinking as a form of “macho” or masculine behavior (Peralta, 2007). Further, some men described heavy drinking as evidence of perceived power and strength, while abstinence from alcohol use or drinking “too little” symbolized weakness or femininity (Peralta, 2007). Being perceived as weak and feminine directly contradicts the expectations set forth by the toughness and antifemininity norms of masculinity”

“higher levels of masculinity and alcohol consumption were related to greater likelihood of having perpetrated an aggressive act while intoxicated in the past 12 months.”

Guzzling an entire beer like that is a fastest way to consume large amounts of alcohol and engage in heavy drinking. The idolization of this behavior is something I take a stand against and it has more than just “dislike” behind it. There is research.

There is one thing I don’t think too many people can take issue with Travis about. He always seems so protective of her. I don’t think I’ve seen many pictures of them together not having body contact of some sort. Take a look at the crowd pictures of the Ice Spice show yesterday at Coachella. Travis and Taylor are right in the middle of the crowd. He’s like the tallest one, standing right behind her with his arms protectively wrapped around her as they enjoy the show, as if saying it’s OK to be out here, you’re safe with me. Not sure I’ve ever seen other guys she’s been with always doing that. Yea the guy might have his faults, but that ain’t one of them.

Please don’t label those with opinions that they don’t care for the beer chugging as “pearl clutchers” or say they need to lighten up. They just bring different life experience to the table, have a different opinion and are entitled to state it. Just as you are if your opinion differs.

I’m sorry but when someone suggests that Travis Kelce chugging a beer at his own event is akin to Billy Bush making rape jokes, they deserve to be called out. That’s not reasonable and dilutes actual offensive behavior. You can “not like” something without venturing into the absurd that actually does more damage to the cause you profess to care so much about. Pointing that out is as legit as posting the comment to begin with. Right? According to your rules?

They are akin to each other as kegging/chugging and frat boy behavior/ locker room talk are all facets of toxic masculinity.

Don’t take my word for it, look at how the NIH cited this in their research:
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8048098/

DP. OMG, just stop. I’m not a huge fan of the silly beer chugging, but that’s all it is - silly. Please get over yourself.

You’ve made your viewpoint clear. Others don’t agree.

Given the context from his brother Jason’s tweet, I can see how they thought the chugging would be funny and silly. But he THREW that beer down! Reminds me of when he grabbed and yelled at his coach during the Super Bowl. He’s got some… passion. It’s a bit much.

Anyone who was predicting a quick demise of this relationship need only look at some of the photos and videos coming out from this weekend. If anything, the two are hotter than ever. If you can look at that and still insist the whole thing is fake and he is just miserable, then I don’t know what to tell ya.

It’s the same behavior over and over. When people show you who they are, believe them. He really is this stupid, obnoxious and immature.

Means nothing. She was pretending to be just as infatuated with Calvin Harris at Coachella and then promptly broke up with him.

Never thought I’d see NIH research in a thread about two entertainers dating. Talk about missing the mark and not reading the room.

It’s PR bots trying to gaslight and browbeat us.

At some point you’ll have to admit you’re wrong. I wonder where that line of denial is for you?

Hahaha!!!! Dude, it’s just not that deep.

Given what we’ve seen recently, I bet her PR team is scrambling right now, scripting their breakup. Not a slow fade, they would want it to come from left field for maximum exposure.

If that’s pretending, she should win an Academy Award for acting.

The level of denial on this forum never ceases to amaze me.
