do you know for sure that Taylor Swift isn’t using exploitative labor to create her merch, her cardigans, all the little things she sells? And I’m not saying there’s no one worse than Taylor Swift. That would be an insane generalization that I would never make. I brought up Taylor Swift because she is a relevant artist right now

i don’t think jenna ortega is a billionaire anyway, it’s extremely hard to become a billionaire because 1 billion is so much more money than i could ever comprehend taylors extreme wealth would be more palatable if she used it for good but most wealthy people like that, they will only use such a small insignificant portion of their wealth that it doesn’t make a difference

can you list the main companies UMG uses to produce her merch in the low-wage countries that do it?

If you were a billionaire you’d do the same shit girl. Something i’ve learned and you should learn is to never speak on how people spend their money until you’re in their same financial situation and i don’t think you’ll ever be there unfortunately

People like this tend to find any reason to hate on people who are TREMENDOUSLY more successful than they’ll ever be.

op never said they did. you said "bezos runs an exploitative company that harms people and taylor swift just. makes shitty music". you're asserting that she isn't involved in any exploitative business practices. it's fair to ask you if you actually know that

“the only reason she’s not seen the same as bezos is bc she’s attractive” which is why i said that bezos actually exploits workers and she just makes shitty music. if we know about bezos being a terrible person i am very confident something would have come out by now if she was doing the same thing

Okay and she’s saying that no one looks into her possible exploitative behavior because she is considered attractive and her job is ‘making music.’ A journalist would look more into a man running a shipping company than a singer/songwriter. You literally missed the point at face value. Billionaires are billionaires because somewhere down the line they started cutting corners. Some way somehow they started to exploit people to increase profits.

“Political values” is so funny considering how vague she is 90% of the time. She tries to claim herself as an activist but she’s so radio silent. she made a song about hyping up gay people (bare minimum) and came out and told Donald trump to stop using AI of herself and fans to promote his campaign. Thats all she’s done in recent years

crazy how neither me or her were born into rich families no silver platter she worked for what she has last time i checked

i was pointing out that op never said she *is* using that labor specifically for that merch specifically, but that it's fair to ask you if you know she's not because you're insinuating she doesn't exploit people she absolutely exploits people in numerous ways regarding music production. i personally think the fact that a ton of her merch is fast fashion produced in low wage places with questionable labor rights (being *generous*) is enough to say it's true for a good portion of her merch too

If you show a picture of her house to any southerner we immediately know she’s in upper classes

Oh looking it up she wasn’t even from TN she was born and raised in Pennsylvania. So if that give you any more reason to hate how she just lies about her “humble” life

angelina did actually visit people and donate afaik. but if ur referring to jenna i think she has publicly donated a lot and is encouraging others to.

which is saying something bc if she with a 1/6th following of taylor (40 m on instagram vs 250 million) can do that so can taylor fsss

gotcha yeah. that makes sense. i think my standards are just pretty low because of how few celebrities (specifically white privileged women) say anything. take emma chamberlain for instance….

i will never even find myself in the position to choose exploitative labor or a lower profit margin

As a southern I may hate the way things are politically here. But one thing I will definitely get patriotic for is when someone comes to parade being a poor southerner as a costume and uses our music and culture as a simple stepping stone. It’s absolutely disgusting
