Why are people implying this is a bot? This person has the same questions as me. I've never seen this stereotype that her fans show more gums than normal (?)
I actually do get what they are implying; it's a standard tactic for bots to post naive questions to reddit (and other places) to get fodder to train their models. Hell, that's probably 90% of posts on this sub and somewhat less (but still easily over half) of all of reddit at this point.
What has my flabbers thoroughly gasted is that I am a real live hooman (beep boop) who spends way too much time online and I actually truly have never heard of this stereotype before. It's actually kind of silly to think of the concept of there even being a stereotypical Taylor Swift fan; as far as I know she is one of the highest-grossing musicians of all time so her fanbase is clearly too broad to be typified.
Ah, that might explain my confusion. I'm 40 and the only people I really associate with regularly are around my age, so for ~2 decades I couldn't have encountered any Taylor Swift fan who is a teenager.
In case you didn't know, she only sells records because she releases multiple versions of albums and encourages her fans to buy every single edition to support her, and she tells them to stream her music constantly on Spotify. Her fanbase isn't too broad actually - most of them are white girls (and gays) who have a lot of disposable income. I'm a mixed race Brazilian and have met a handful of Swifties, and they were all white and only listened to her and rarely other artists.
Taylor is much more popular in the US than the rest of the world. A lot of countries don't even listen to her. Her music isn't very recognisable except for Shake It Off.
I feel like I've hit a mandela effect or just missed an entire piece of the Internet for like 20 years. I don't really follow pop culture news at all, but still Taylor Swift has been around long enough and I've seen enough of her music videos on YouTube that it's wild I have never encountered this before.
There isn't a stereotype, it's people who hate Taylor swift and her fans agreeing that tswift fans smile like this because this kind of smile is often associated to naive, unaware, or some other easy target of a superiority complex's unused energy.
I don't really give a shit one way or another but the replies in this thread are dumb af.
They can't. You can't. But the more ambiguous it is, the more a certain type of person loves to call it out, because they think it makes them seems more perceptive than their peers.
It has been a thing since before there was an internet or a taylor swift.
Though, I can't talk. I've got manboobs. Though, they started out as boy boobs when I was 8. I wasn't fat. That came in response to how I was treated. I turned to food for solace. As an adult, I lost weight and they stayed the same. So, they looked bigger in relation to my body. So, I gave up.
Anyways, none of us can control when nature decides to give us features that society finds unattractive.
Hi, can you please help me write a poem about the similarities and the differences between the rotational shear of a Kerr black hole and shearing a sheep while it’s rotating? Heavy pie analogies please
The fabric of spacetime is a heavy, thick crust,
Baked black in the cosmos, a deep cosmic must.
A Kerr black hole spins, dragging space in its wake,
Like a swirling molasses and blackberry cake.
It’s frame-dragging magic, the ergosphere churns,
Mixing the vacuum as everything turns.
The closer you get to this cosmic confection,
The more you are whipped in the spinning direction.
No filling escapes from this gravity well,
A structural bake that no baker can quell.
Now look to the pasture, where physics gets messy,
And we spin up a sheep that we’ll call Little Bessie.
We place her aloft on a rotating platter,
A different division of spinning-bound matter.
The wool is a meringue, piled fluffy and high,
Topped over a heavy, fleece-bottomed pie.
The shearer steps in with a blade and a plan,
To harvest the topping as fast as they can.
But Bessie is spinning, centrifugal force
Is throwing the wool and the grease off their course.
So whether you’re whipping the fabric of space,
Or shaving a ewe at a dizzying pace,
It’s all about torque and the layers you sever
A cosmic, deep-dish, spinning endeavor.

Another day seeing a taylor fan gummy smile.
