omg let women be feminine! let women wear a full face of "natural" makeup at all times and join a sorority full of 20 identical looking white girls!! let women wear pink and shave their whole bodies and consume products!! let women marry men and live in the suburbs where they cook and clean and raise his 6 children while always being sexually available until he leaves them for a 22 year old!!!! let women consume products!!! idk who's stopping them but we need to fight this assault on femininity!! #HilaryBarbie

I am going to say something that might piss people on this site off, and that is that the stabbing at a Taylor Swift themed event in Southport does not exist in a vacuum.

It exists in a world where a joke about bringing a nail gun to the Eras tour to shoot fans gets 400k likes on TikTok, or where a reel about crashing a plane full of Swifties gets 200k likes on Instagram. It exists in a world where, on this very website, the one that promotes itself as rational and reasonable, someone says that "Taylor Swift and her fans should all die violent horrible deaths" and people applauded it. It exists in a world where, during TTPD release week men were in Swifties' comment sections declaring they would beat their daughters and girlfriends if they ever so much as listened to one of her albums. And it exists in a world where this week, fans of a TV show (which I will not name because that is not the point) sent death threats to a girl on Twitter for daring to be a fan of both their beloved show and Taylor Swift.

I don't give a fuck what your opinion of Taylor Swift is. I don't care if you think her music is grating, I don't care if you think she is the worst thing to happen to humanity since Eve ate the god damn apple. This is the dark side of stan culture that no-one talks about; where dislike of an artist becomes so obsessive that it becomes normal, even funny, to joke about killing their fans, because "it's just online, it's just a joke". It isn't. It is rarely ever "just online".

And yes I am going to be That Person and say that you can complain about Swift's brand of feminism and debate her position as a feminist icon all day long, at the end of the day, her name is still synonymous with girls. It doesn't take a genius to work out who this event was geared at.

I am not going to sit and claim that by simply not liking Taylor Swift you directly caused this. I would encourage you to step back, look at the bigger picture of stan culture, including obsessive dislike of an artist, and ask yourself how much this culture has enabled this. If making jokes on tiktok about killing someone over a pop star is normalised, how much of a leap is it to attacking kids with a knife at a fan event?

and of course there is the fact that the british media didn't even wait until those kids were buried before using this event to spread their racist, anti-immigrant agenda despite the race of the attacker not being known. all I can say to that is I am sickened and disappointed but not shocked.

LMFAOOOOOOOOOOO 😭

"They don't teach us about that in school how am I supposed to know" well you seem to know a lot about Bakugou but they don't teach you about him in school. Do they

Taylor Swift is collabing with Paramore and Fall out Boy to unite and put an end to "not like other girls" content once and for all

coney island x bkdk

Me hacking into Horikoshi's twitter account and tweeting "bkdk is canon" then putting my phone on vibrate and shoving it up my ass

“Bakudeku is canon”, I say into the mic.

The crowd boos. I begin to walk off in shame when a voice speaks & commands silence from the room. "She's right," they say.

I look for the owner of the voice, right there in the 3rd row sits Kohei Horikoshi.
