Yes, this video essay is from a white dude, who is probably American AND straight, but I thought it was worth sharing

lmao I had no idea there had ever been an alliance between the Barbz and Swifties. that's very embarrassing for everyone involved

[triggered]

lmfao what’s their alliance (can’t watch the video)? I can’t think of two worse fan bases to support each other they’re all feral

[screamingintune]

apparently the Barbz joined with Swifties to stream "Look What You Made Me Do" in an attempt to keep Taylor at #1 and prevent "Bodak Yellow" from reaching it. It failed.

[screamingintune]

I finished the video and it's not bad. Nicki is rancid. most of it was stuff I knew but there were a couple items of new info

[gimmemoarjosh]

Same. I knew most of it from here but learned a few little disgusting nuggets.

She is horrid.

[gimmemoarjosh]

Does nobody remember when Taylor joined Nicki on stage after some Twitter drama?!

[screamingintune]

I remember that but I don't remember the unholy alliance to prevent Cardi from getting a #1

[gimmemoarjosh]

I never pay attention to that, honestly.

Where is mayjailer!?

How could anyone forget "I've done nothing but love and support you"???

yet it's so unsurprising

[screamingintune]

it's slightly surprising since they're both the type of fanbases to hold major grudges even if their cult leaders publicly made nice

and yet not because both fanbases are freakishly chart-obsessed, though I find the way modern music fans are invested in that to be super fucking strange. I'm a 90s music fan, in my day you started hating things when they got popular because popularity meant they SOLD OUT lmao

honestly it just baffles me every time I see fanbases caring about their faves charting like they are getting a share of the royalties. you want your faves to be successful enough to remain productive sure but otherwise who the fuck cares

[swissbeauty23]

ia the charts thing is bizarre and it reminds me of fantasy football

[screamingintune]

it's silly, and honestly, after seeing a couple of FANTASTIC concerts by artists with average success in intimate concert halls for 90 bucks last year as opposed to spending hundreds and hundreds to be 1 in 70k at a stadium pop show, I don't get the desire for your fave to be a megastar

two of the absolute worst fandoms on the entire planet
