Please reread the article. Exact quote “Taylor is not important. She might be a safe space for girls, and she’s probably the Madonna of now, but she’s not interesting as an artist.”

Which part is true?

I say she’s sneering at it. Jean Mahfouz. This is my user name, the one that appears over the words “Why is that something to be sneered at?”, because I can read, both text and subtext. I hope this is helpful to you.  

Please point to the part of my comments in which I say she says a safe space for girls is a bad thing. She’s clearly inferring it, but if this is the game you want to play, sure.

I would replace saying Courtney Love doesn’t give a fuck with saying, she very much gives a fuck about everyone thinking she is super edgy and real 

You probably already know Courtney Love doesn’t give a fuck is an asshole.

First of all, it’s Corgan. Secondly, Pretty on the Inside was released before she even met “Corrigan.” 

The fact is, there’s nothing Love likes more than being a hater.

Isn’t having a “safe space for girls” important? Why is that something to be sneered at?

I’m trying not to get unreasonably optimistic here, but since the sale to Paste I’ve seen a couple of articles here and there that have made me think, “Hmm, that seems more like the old AVC”. Maybe - just maybe - there might be a rejuvenation happening?

1. That was my takeaway as well (Bellona: “who?”)

This is an issue I’ve seen popping up a weird amount of times recently.

Seems like we’re getting some strong content on here again. Thank goodness. Good interview!

Is...is the AV Club covering books again?

I’d argue she looks like what Hollywood casts as a high schooler.

A 20-something professional tennis coach? Uh, well, it is a movie, I guess.

“And I wish I went to school.”

This means she’s about 5 years away from too old for Hollywood.
