what is it about taylor swift that makes some of the dumbest people to project their ideals onto her? i read a particularly stupid article about how people should hate her because she's not a self-made celebrity, but someone who had privilege and helpTop City Homo posted:I think Sam kriss is a cool insightful dude

Tatum Girlparts posted:I mean it's dumb to be all 'my god why, WHY has Taylor Swift not waded in? Truly she is failing to do her duty to America...' but yea it's not fuckin crazy to say 'maybe celebrities who have more direct access to their fans then ever before could be very influential in politics when they typically already have causes and all that fall under the political sphere to begin with'. thinkpiece media takes karl rove's strategy of making everything political and runs with it farther than he ever did. that's why you can't have news about celebrities, sports, and tv shows (three things people use as escapism) anymore without some self-important prick shoehorning social issues into it. most people don't give a gently caress that aroldis chapman is in the world series a year after shooting around his wife- indeed, they're watching it to forget about that sort of poo poo. but you'll never hear the end of it from sites like deadspin get that OUT of my face has issued a correction as of 16:01 on Oct 27, 2016 |

the thing about the"Democrats are cool" trope is that obama has the personality to seem/be authentic about it, and hillary clinton is about as cool as a nagging third-grade teacher. watch the "Between Two Ferns" interviews with both of them if you want a good comparison needless to say, when it comes to the "Party Of Cool," there are far more hillarys than obamas

it's hilarious that right-wing loons are boycotting a company founded by a jehovah's witness who was pretty hosed up himselfFidel Cuckstro posted:I have no idea of the particular arrangement of this challenge, but I'll chime in as someone who worked for a large fundraising non-profit for several years: it's very common that the company agrees in advance that they'll give the entire challenge amount (especially when it's capped like this) to the charity regardless, and something like this is more about principles of corporate responsibility and branding and awareness raising and stuff only marketing directors think is important.

Tatum Girlparts posted:if you genuinely want an answer it came from the good and valid concept of 'it's good to try to support people who are normally shut out of the greater business world, be they minorities or just kinda situations like stay at home moms and poo poo'. Places like, say, Etsy and all started out really good for this, where you didn't have to rely on storefronts and politics around that aspect of selling your poo poo.
