Me personally? I’ve become much less tolerant of sexist humor. Back in the day, cracking a joke at women’s expense was pretty common when I was a teen. As I’ve matured and become aware to the horrific extent of toxicity and bigotry pervading all tiers of our individualistic society, I’ve come to see how exclusionarly and objectifying that sort of ‘humor’ really is, and I regret it deeply.

    That’s where you drew the line? Not the fact that she capitalises off of LGBT+ and Black culture but stays silent regarding issues those communities face, despite her massive audience and the influence she has over them. Or the fact that she literally flies constantly, which is awful for the environment, but also rents out her jet when she’s not using it.

        She has used LGBT and BIPOC representations and culture (and has stereotyped and downplayed issues in some cases) in her videos and concerts that make her millions of dollars annually, and yet never uses her platform to truly advocate for these groups she claims to care for greatly. It doesn’t help that she has been called out for racial insensitivity, and faux posturing of “helping” groups, over, and over, and over.

      I don’t expect any celebrities to be active voices for causes I believe in or hold dear for me to enjoy / consume their work. I never paid attention to anything she did apart from her music. If I hadn’t been on Reddit I probably wouldn’t even have learned about the whole ordeal which lead me to stop listening to her.

      She’s a billionaire American. She and I have nothing in common. She wrote lyrics I connected with, with beats I could enjoy.
