Strong public perception.
Swift is often portrayed as a front runner of liberated women and modern (however-manyth wave) feminism as well as “woke” (I really hate that word) lifestyle aka pluralistic and aware of socioeconomic issues, which certain people don’t like. At the same time Swift was cited as one of the “worst” private jet owners for having taken the highest number of private flights in a certain group and timeframe (citation gravely needed). She is easy to attack due to the (supposedly) high moral standard people attribute to her image. Probably comparable to Gates in this regard.
We are. Taylor Swift and the like account for a tiny fraction of billionaire hate. Say what you mean, which apparently is “why ever criticize someone I like?”
There are hundreds of famous billionaires. Why the focus on her?

Feminism has been weaponized today and it’s very entertaining to see it play out. :)
Everyone is being turned against eachother and these celebrities are just branded in a specific way to make them likeable to the majority.
Why focus on defending her?

Asking for the focus to be elsewhere is defending. “Don’t look at this bad thing” is not a neutral statement.

No one is arguing with that. Just with the implication that we cannot complain about anyone but the worst culprit
Where have I defended her? I’m just pointing out something that seems odd to me
Deny. Defend. Depose.
Immmhotep. Immmhotep. Immmhotep.
