re: #88 goddamnedfrank

I’ll again mention my theory that much of the fear and rage over her in particular can probably be attributed to her physicality as approaching a kind of Lebensborn racial purity and fertility ideal. Her likeness also plays some role in determining the demographics of her fanbase, which coincidentally tends to resemble the Lebensborn target endpoint population, which is why they’re panicking over Taylor in ways they don’t for equivalent status activist celebrities like Beyoncé and Alicia Keys.

It was a different kind of panic for Beyonce…but I think it all stems from the basic white supremacist impulses that still exist in American culture; the whole thing about Beyonce is fear of a powerful, uncontrolled/uncontrollable Black woman, while Taylor Swift is a powerful, uncontrollable white woman who turns her back on white supremacist power.
