I am liberal and I actually do think it's kind of a bad thing. If it were the 80s or 90s I'd feel differently. But Taylor is so admired/powerful and it's 2024. If one or both of them were closeted and this relationship was a ruse to keep them closeted, my issue then is that it's a missed opportunity for two highly successful, generally admired people to show that any sort of person can be gay, and that it does not actually limit your ability to do things like write successful love songs that straight people relate to, play football, etc. I like Taylor and Travis but if I found out their relationship was a cover up for one or both of them being gay, I'd be disappointed in that choice. I'd also feel pretty manipulated as a fan. |
| Griffin is an employee of ESPN/ABC/Disney, a company in bed with the NFL. Interesting how all of these media members spam viral takes on this relationship. Almost like they got marching orders to make this a wedge issue for proles. |
The problem there is that you make no distinction between someone saying "omg what if this whole relationship is fake and they are just doing it to launch Kelce's acting career? wild" and someone spouting about how Taylor is ancient and her eggs are drying up and they don't want to see her ugly mug on their tv during their football time rawr. Celeb gossip will inevitably include people being judgmental or critical. That doesn't mean it's "toxic" or that it's not escapist. For a lot of people, being judgmental or saying "oh ugh I think this celeb is doing something weird/stupid/lame" is part of the escapism. Your argument is that this thread an only exist if it's just people who feel exactly as you do about Swift and this relationship (unequiviocally supportive). I'm sorry, but that sucks. Start a text chain with your best friend who has your exact same views. Don't try to police a gossip thread. People get to have opinions on the stuff and personally I enjoy reading even the opinions I disagree with because to me, arguing over this stuff is the whole point. It's inane and kind of meaningless, but fun, and that's why I like celeb gossip. You can't take it too seriously, it's meant to be a silly distraction. |
| Aww, look it’s Ben’s boys spreading their maga demagoguery. |

Y’know what’s actually “absurd”?
That the GOP is taking orders from a guy who not only lost the last election, but had his attempted a coup fail, his business declared a fraud, been charged with 91 felony counts, and is an adjudicated rapist. And Taylor is still winning LOL |

| OOPs that last post was ment for someone else sorry. |
Wait! I’m not maga, I’m quite liberal, but I also think their relationship is being sold to us by the media for some weird reason. It seems so staged and over the top for being such a short relationship. And they’re doing it purposely if they were really dating for a month or two before becoming this massive brand that they are now. It’s fascinating to me! I want to be on this thread too, wouldn’t it be boring if the whole thread was just middle aged women cheering positive vibes for the happy couple? |
