real talk: different people have different tastes in movies

I’m kinda disappointed in Tumblr right now, not gonna lie. Y’all were all over taylorswift for the past year, and as soon as she does something problematic, you turn on her and start treating her as if she is everything that’s wrong with society. I am not defending what she said in any way, because people are correct in saying that she benefits from white privilege. Instead of denouncing Taylor completely because of one mistake, would it not be more effective to educate her instead? Like seriously, she’s one of the least problematic celebrities out there. I’m sure she’d get it once it was explained to her. It’s not as though she’s being ignorant on purpose. We’re all human beings, we all make mistakes, and it’s ridiculous how this website can do complete 180′s on their opinion of a person after one stupid incident. There needs to be room to allow people to make mistakes and learn for them without overtly harsh criticism. 

Tumblr likes to think it’s above certain things, but it very much has a herd mentality. I’ve been a fan of Taylor for many years now and on tumblr for a few of them so I was here when tumblr adored her back in 2008 and then witnessed as they slowly started to tear her down and hate her. Then 2014 came along and suddenly everyone was enamored with her again and honestly? I was waiting for the shoe to drop. Granted in this case I very much think Taylor was deserving of criticism. But to turn that drastically? To call her a horrible person? People make mistakes and they should be held accountable but one mistake doesn’t make someone the scum of the earth like tumblr seems to think it does.

Haters gonna hate hate hate I guess...
