You mean her daddy and her lawyers are smart business men.

It makes me uncomfortable as well. I’m not a fan of her music, or her very manufactured image where her every “casual”move is captured by a professional photographer to be posted on Instagram, so I’m probably already inclined to judge. I find the concept of attempting to own common phrases that very clearly predate…

The more I read about her, the more I think she just a shitty person.

And how does trademarking random words even work. I mean, there’s an art studio nearish to where I live called Blank Space, and it’s probably not the only business with that name. How can someone trademark a word or phrase that’s already in…

Jesus, she’s turned into a total facist hubris greedMonster. She wasn’t the first to use ANY of those things. (sick beats, seriously?)

For those who say the reach isn’t that far-look at the Swiftmas list - 1000’s of words long, (there are tons of other people named Swift who have likely obvi made the same dumb pun)

Ugh. Fuck this industry automaton, her generic bleating that passes for “music,” and all her silly bullshit.

*rolls eyes* can we all agree she’s and asshole now? Will she ever have enough money to be reasonably ok with not attaching a penalty price to every slight infringement on her ‘intellectual property’? Is the full English alphabet next on her trademark shopping list?

Yes, because she just “made” it without any difficulty or effort on her part and she’s certainly not qualified to speak about the sexism in the music industry after working her way through it... Let’s ignore the fact that she has stated that she was raped by a producer as a budding artist. That’s certainly not sexism…

Yes, not judging someone based solely on probably biased allegations is misogyny; good job trying to make that word meaningless, therefore making it easier for ACTUAL misogyny to flourish.

Meanwhile, some celebrities who were actually convicted of their abusive crimes (Taryn Manning beat her girlfriend and pled guilty, Jon Hamm hammered a kid’s balls and pled guilty) are often lauded. It’s odd.

From the linked article:

Times like these, we all gather around to remember the profound words of Chumbawamba:

As someone who is sort of 25 going on 12, I kind of read “adulting” as pointing to the dissonance between what we thought “adult” meant as kids, and what it ends up meaning once you get there....

Like in a lot of cases “adult” is a performance just like anything else. I have to attend a conference for my work this…

okay but i finally learned how to fold a fitted sheet and that was a proud moment

Eat more roughage, ladies. Or less. Whatevs.

This is a good time to remember this.

wtf. your name isn’t ken?

I love the typo hare to the throne, like I’m now picturing them raising a bunny as their child and insisting everyone act like it’s a real baby. “Umm his name is Saint, have some respect”

Movember was last month, Kanye. Yeezus.

I’m trying to imagine any name they could have picked that would surprise me and I can’t come up with one. Like, I can imagine them naming their baby Jehovah or Messiah as easily as I can imagine them naming him Trash Bag or Sushi or Brad.
