I mean… We already criticize the Conservatives and the oil corps quite a lot here (on Lemmy), right? Why not make fun of a hypocrite at the same time? But sure, I still kinda get ur point. This’ll be the last Swift meme from me.
You know Taylor tried to silence the Jet Tracker Kid last week, maybe she’s try to silence Lemmy Memes now? Feels like last few days there has been a big uptick in “oh no lets not point to Taylor because there are other people to point to who are worse people” posts in response to memes.
Ignoring entirely that it’s a tired gag already. I would wager a sizeable amount of the pushback is from people who are just tired of seeing these posts still clustering about their feeds.
There are 2,310 male billionaires. There are just 337 female billionaires. Considering she’s only worth $1.1 billion, I’d dare say that a significant number of those men have a higher net worth. But instead of seeing any posts criticising any of them lately (except Musk & Bezos), I’ve seen one of the minority of women targeted repeatedly. One that, for the most part, isn’t actively harming the world.
Like hell, if you want to be critical of a female billionaire, let me introduce to you Australia’s richest person:Gina Rinehart.. She owns a mining empire, is racist as fuck and tried to swindle her children out of their inheritance from her father. Oh, but as she tells it, she’s not an heiress. Her mining company has destroyed countless indigenous cultural sites. She is a massive cunt.
Like, I’m sorry, but I just don’t buy the whole “all billionaires are equally evil” bullshit. There are far far worse people that we should be spending this energy on.

Then criticize the laziness or lameness of the joke; don’t act like legitimate criticism of a billionaire is illegitimate just because she’s a woman
It can be two things

Feel free to make any anti-Gina Rinehart or male billionaires memes and I promise I will upvote those too.
