I've been meaning to ask... What's up with the Taylow Swift = airplane memes?

She takes her private jet absolutely everywhere, to the detriment of the environment

Oh, ok. I was expecting something more damning, but I guess that goes against her public image.

Thanks.

Also her lawyers sent a letter to the person who tracks her flights to stop so that put her even more in the spotlight.

This is actually the real problem, which makes me feel like the memes are justified. They really didn't start showing up til the C&D anyway (AFAIK).

I'm a feminist and left-leaning guy, I'm certainly not gonna go after her for being a woman or for her "politics"* - or appreciate jokes that seek to do so, as people are trying to imply in this case. But trying to avoid the deserved scrutiny of hiding her flight plans is pretty shitty and it's fair to razz her for it

(* "go vote" is so barely politics it's not worth truly acknowledging it as such)
