On Wednesday, JK Rowling implied that Nazis never targeted trans people in Germany, calling it "a fever dream." She doubled down when challenged with sources showing trans persecution in Nazi Germany.
Not that anyone should be surprised, but the TERF Supreme now agrees with nazis.
Eh I think that’s just letting her off because she’s a billionaire, when really she’s just a shit person. Taylor Swift donates a lot of her fortune, and in general seems to be a good person. She donated a casual $200k to my cities food bank when she visited recently, and apparently shes been doing that in every city on her tour. Her music has never been subtlety (or not so subtlety) racist either as far as I’m aware.
Taylor Swift seems like a far better person than most billionaires, but the existence of billionaires itself is a moral failing, IMHO. I agree with xantoxis, if you’re truly doing everything you can to help others, it’s impossible to become a billionaire, because you’d never hoard that much resources when they can do so much good for so many others.
Look at someone like Dolly Parton, who would be a billionaire if she didn’t give away so much money. She’s doing it right.
Of course, Rowling, in addition to being a billionaire, is also a cruel, hateful creature, where Taylor is not AFAIK.
I agree with you 110% but I genuinely think Taylor is trying really hard to be like Dolly. I looked it up after the donation here and she’s been doing a lot of donating her wealth the last few years. To the point where she’s worth just (I know it’s still an obscene amount) $1.1B whereas Dolly is worth about $650M. I think she’s just had more time than Taylor to donate her fortune. Taylor could have gotten a book from the Imagination Library when she was a kid.
