deeply refreshing to see someone critical of Swift who also like, genuinely likes her. Like i'm neutral to positive on her, but the online discourse has been absolutely rancid. flipping between "Taylor Swift has never done anything wrong ever and she's a fucking genius" and "Taylor Swift is the worst lyricist of all time and also a bad person" is exhausting, so thank you for like. nuance or something lmao
not to make it serious for a sec but i genuinely think that being able to like things that are bad is really important. like I think that it's an important skill to be able to look at something and see what you personally enjoy about it and then take a step back and acknowledge that objectively it's flawed. and to also be able to acknowledge that liking something isn't necessarily an identity or a moral stance. and i think that fandom space in general could really benefit from more people taking the time to learn how to do that. it's okay to like things that are bad

Wonka (2023) 🤝 Mean Girls (2024)
Musicals not advertised as musicals (which made lots of people mad because they hate fun and apparently don’t do research before watching a movie), that are based on an already existing story which led people to complain that those stories don’t need more remakes, but are surprisingly a new turn on the story, which were hated before they even came out but are actually pretty enjoyable movies, where the main actors are considered attractive and the public doubted their abilities to do their part well before watching the movie.
