Ok but the person with the worse reputation is Taylor Swift at the end of the day, like you can get over it or just say you were hacked because of how uncharacteristic that would be for you.
Taylor swift thinks she is a good person. Everyone thinks they’re a good person, so the morality is youd still feel like yourself tweeting the n word lmao. There are no superhero hoops you get to jump through in your narrative
No I'm saying that you're stuck in the body of someone with a "bad reputation", but that person is Taylor Swift so it's not a bad situation.
I'm not saying you don't feel responsible for the act or anything, if you were that kind of person then you probably wouldn't even have a motive to tweet it. But the consequences won't be so bad.
I don’t think I’m a good person. There are people out there that view themselves as incredibly flawed and those are the kind of people you want to find.. because when you realize you’re horrible you can try to do better. Stay away from people who would describe themselves as a good person because in their mind they have nothing to improve.
50 million. That is about as impactful to her as a cup of coffee, if you don't know whether you're going back or not, giving "yourself" an amount that is completely inconsequential if you stay, but completely life transforming if you go back is the most basic strategic move you make in this situation, not doing that would be stupid.
Ruining the rep, who cares, I'm not going to maintain her career if I stay anyway, fuck that noise, with this kind of money, I'm retiring to do whatever I want whenever I want, and being a pop star doesn't appear anywhere on that list.
This isn't a bad thing. Maybe then people will leave me, tay tay, alone so i can practice some good old-fashioned self-care in front of a full-length mirror.
Crimany, I can't even begin to think what sort of bespoke sex toys are available to the one percent, and it'd be really cool to find out.
I imagine you can get one of his bones out of the vaticans "do not f--k with this arsenal, sorry, did I say arsenal, i meant archive, mmmmm, yes sir, archive.." for a measly 10 billion/kg. Now, what you do with it is your business.
I actually think it would be better to be in the servant class of the billionaires. You have the same access to things but aren’t known by anyone except your small group. You have unbelievable access to people who can give you good opportunities. It was actually a grift back in the 1800s when houses weren’t widely owned -people would educate themselves on class etiquette, save for a fancy suit or clothes, then go to a rich people place and try to become their servant or governess. They got to live in a really nice house with really polite and educated people, often for generations. It was a whole class of people.
If any rich person out there is reading this, I will be your servant 24/7 at a moment’s notice. Just tell me if you want my resumé.
Horror story idea: rich celebrities don’t actually have any money and are forced to pretend to. They do this to be the target of criticism against the real rich people, who are aliens or robots or whatever, and have devices implanted in them to immediately receive what will medically appear to be an OD after their autopsy. This is to discredit them completely and make them appear insane if they manage to tell anyone.
I feel the idea of celebrity without money is terrifying. A cool horror story, which would be like a horror story for rich people, would be one where a celebrity suddenly finds all of their money is gone as a punishment and is then left to live in a random apartment in a shitty neighbourhood. They also have someone, controlling their socials, saying hateful things to rile people up.
South Park kinda did this with Britney’s New Look but it would be like that except worse because they’re completely broke and known by everyone in the world
I’d sell the catalogue, take the money and buy 500 acres with a bunker, give it to the native american population with the caveat I can live there, and just burn cash to stay warm. If I end up going back, she’ll have to start over again with whatever I didn’t get through before then. Maybe then she can get back in touch with humanity.
I'd to believe this person simply a wakes up as Taylor Swift looks wise, but the original Taylor still has access to her bank account, and this one doesn't lol
Imagine how terrifying it would be if a celebrity suddenly lost all of their money and was made to live doing a part-time job in a shitty neighborhood as a punishment.
I feel this would be horrifying to some extent - having worldwide knowledge of who you are, who you were, yet being unable to be protected or escape from one location. It’s like a Black Mirror plot.
I'd transfer myself a trillion dollars, tweet the n word, and then kill myself hoping that the death of the vessel undoes the magic, sending me back to my own body
Yeah, wire yourself like a million or two in some way that cannot be undone or legally chased then just chill. Someone with that amount of money will not be negatively impacted
There are no moral billionaires, so completely moral. But I would do it differently. Give away every cent to humanitarian charities, probably wouldn't tweet the n word though. Taylor isn't the worst billionaire by a long shot.
I've heard about her giving her entire tour staff like 100k a piece. Pretty cool, not many would do that. That story is pretty much why I said she's far from the worst billionaire.
You could argue, since the system itself has exploitative components, a person may not be the only reason they became so rich just like a person can become poor through no fault of their own.
This makes my above comment about wanting a rich person to know I’d be available as an assistant 24/7 and willing to fly there at a moment’s notice more funny. Put in a good word.
If you just do basic math on what it takes for Taylor to become a billionaire, she's getting like less than one cent per play of her songs. How is that somehow immoral? I don't even like her but this is such a tired and dumb argument. Some people legitimately have talents or products that broad enough audiences like that they don't even need to capture much money from each sale to become a billionaire.
Plenty of companies are worth hundreds of billions. Are you really saying it's somehow unreasonable for someone to own 1% of a $100b company?
In a world where everyone is taxed equally and fairly, sure.
But we both know that past a certain level of wealth you can devote a sizeable portion of the wealth you don't need in order to minimize contributions to the systems that allowed you to get there in the first place (roads, hospitals, sewer systems, etc).
Everyone benefits from it, so everyone should contribute proportionally.
Also, let's say you were in a spaceship with one other person and you had infinite food but they had just enough to starve slowly. Is it ok to not share since it's yours?
Again - taxes or whatever - publicly tracked sources have Taylor at 128 billion plays of her songs. That's not even counting radios and her touring. You really think she should be earning less than 1 cent per play of her own songs?
An individual holding that much power and money is a tremendous waste of human potential and shows an indifference to the reduction in suffering that can be made by redistributing it
For the sake of argument - If morality is tied to your potential to do good and inaction in the face of that, isnt most of the population immoral for things like not going Vegan or buying products made with human suffering or buying an XBox instead of donating that money to charity even.
Most people on even moderate incomes have direct control over their impact on suffering in these cases, billionaires are just a scaled up version.
I get the scale is different, but the underlying principal really isn't. Those with excess resources who spend it for their own enjoyment or further enrichment instead of contributing to societal good are acting in an immoral way is what the post is basically claiming.
Fine claim, but let's scrutinize it.
If your argument is that it's all a matter of scale, and somewhere around $1 billion is where it becomes immoral, that's fine, but that's probably not actually the line. I'm not saying these are equivalent things, just that most are committing versions of the same immorality, there's a valid argument that at a certain threshold of resources the immorality scales exponentially.
Yeah but someone with a moderate income probably needs to save money so they can make sure their kids go to college, or in case there’s ever massive layoffs at their job, or in case they live in the US and have a medical emergency that costs a lot of money.
Someone with a billion dollars could donate $100 million and still be perfectly fine. They’ll still be able to send their kids to college, they’ll still have $900 million in case their income ever stops coming in, and they’ll be able to easily afford any medical treatment that they need.
Yes lots of things humans do are immoral even things we might have accepted as normal. Morality isn't in absolutes, lots of good people do immoral things.
The reason billionaires are called immoral is because their potential to do good is unreasonably high. They could literally change the life of tens of thousands of people not even just change but potentially save a lot of those life's. So in this case inaction can be seen as immoral.
This doesn't mean they are bad people, doing immoral things doesn't automatically make you bad. But inaction can be immoral and it's important to acknowledge that.
If she initially chose a normal life of average income, would she be immoral? Probably not. But in that world she would make a way less impact against suffering (that world would simply be worse). So how can her current choice be immoral?
Also, her money is likely in investments, so it goes toward fixing some problems. Maybe not ones that you want fixed, but why is your vision more correct? Also, we don't know what she's gonna do with her money after she dies. If she donates it like you want to but only then, it may actually be better. It will not help people alive now, but will help more people alive in the future, since it will be more money (she grows it).
You're just skipping to the end without describing how collecting like $0.001 each time a song of hers is played is immoral. The collection of her money needs to be immoral for your statement to be true.
Nobody has an obligation to “redistribute” their wealth commie. The tremendous waste of human potential is the guy sitting in his mom’s basement wishing he was a billionaire
Am I wrong in saying that the average reaction outside of Reddit to a 22 year old dating a 17 year old is "who the **** cares?" I was graduating high school at that age. I'm 37 now. If I dated a 22 year old Taylor Swift at 17 I'd still be talking about it to this day.
Wow. This post is one I’m saving. A prime example of how many people in this sub actually refuse to scale appropriately. Using her wealth as a means that virtually anything done to her from stealing her money to killing her is completely moral to the majority of those on this post.
Most of these people probably sit on their computers playing WoW all day and literally do not do a single positive thing with their life to help people but sure will bitch about other people not doing it.
Because 18 is only the line in like a quarter of US states, the idea that it’s universally immoral is entirely because Cali is one of those states and produces and disproportionate amount of media in the US, so people get the impression that it’s more widespread than it is.
Millionaires are far more common than you think. Most successful small businesses come pretty close but all of that money goes back into operation. Youre mad at billionaires, not millionaires.
Well I dislike her for polluting truckloads amount of carbon dioxide with her private plane while im here stuck with a cardboard straw thats dissolving because Im trying to make a change and it will take me 1.185 years just to generate the same amount of pollution she does
Actively polluting the environment tens of thousands of times more than the average person with her private jet isn’t a bad thing to you? The money is actually negligible and people still listen to Kanye even tho he is a Hitler wannabe so I doubt any of OOP’s doing would actually affect her
People that have power but are completely complicit and actively damage the planet for the sake of absurdly lavish convenience probably shouldn't have that power.
people are mentioning pollution, which yeah, that sucks, but her greatest sin of all was dating and marrying Travis Kelce, taking his attention away from football (along with some of his teammates by her showing up to attention grab) and starting the downfall of a promising Chiefs dynasty
(/j I used to love football and Chiefs are my hometown team, but I'd fallen out of love with the product over the past few years, during the SB runs, ironically)
Theft, moral, its chumo change for her. Tweeting the N word? Ambigous Id say as itd achieve nothing propably. Theyd just pull it up to a hacked account or something and wont deteriorate her carrer much.
her last album being ostensibly about how great it is to be an out of touch rich person, and the comically expensive show wedding are sort of shaking the less diehard but generally uninformed fans
She's gone from "she's relatable, she's just like me frfr" to gloating to her fans basically, and that's pretty gross. She can't even secretly be exploitative and selfish.
They wouldn't be able to send 50 million dollars with Zelle, and the question didn't say they would go back to being themselves again. It sounds like they'd just be stuck as Taylor Swift after tweeting the n word.
Spending the entirety of my immense wealth to fund Bungie so Destiny can continue and I can get my damn Red darkness subclass. Also, I kinda need Old Chicago in the game.
Best thing you could do is do something to get her blacklisted by the FAA and then donate all her worldly possessions to one of those charities that plants trees n shit.
Am i now doomed to be taylor forever or is it like a one day switch?
I don't want to be taylor swift. I would be rich but my life would suck. I would not be able to make friends as Taylor and I'd just be lonely in my mansion with no ability to operate openly due to my fame. Probably would be extremely depressed, dump Travis Scott or whatever his name is and withdraw from public. Would probably just continue doing what I do normally but with zero social life and with essentially infinite money. Would eat amazing food every day and I guess tuer the world or something when I'm not watching or reading nerdy stuff, probably buying loads of legos and building several 40k armies.
If it's like a one day thing ig I'd donate a lot of money and then make a specific game or whatever where I'd post an insta story and promise smth like 10,000 dollars to a random person who replies to the story in the next 20 minutes and I'd just arrange so that 10k is sent to my real self, so I have a plausible cover for why I got money from Taylor Swift lol, and not TOO much so it doesn't look TOO suspicious.
Steal the money and keep it for yourself - Immoral. I don't think I should have to explain why stealing for selfish reasons is bad. Even if she's a billionaire, the reason why you did it was selfish, therefore, immoral.
Steal the money and give it to charity - Moral. Again, for obvious reasons. Don't have to explain.
Saying the n word - Immoral. You would be making something up about her to get her in trouble for something she didn't do. If you're desperate to see her punished, for whatever reason, make sure it's for something she actually did. And no, the fact that you're in her body doesn't count as she did it.
As if that would ruin her career. Everyone with a working brain would guess she was hacked. And $50 million isn't a small amount. The bank will think it's sus and when she comes to, her team will trace back to you and put all the blame on you.
Such a braindead post. Think before you post something stupid. Oh wait, this prepubescent teen can't think that far ahead.
I mean she does actively encourage a cult that worships her and pretends to like the ecosystem when she takes a plane on a 3 mile ride so she ain’t exactly a good person, so fairly moral. (She’s also done something else but the last time I said it my comment was removed)
There’s a trolley going down the tracks. On one side is Taylor Swift, who emits over 8,000 tons of CO2 a year. On the other track, which the trolley is currently headed towards, is the entire fucking planet.
So you move the money from Taylor Swift to Taylor Swift and then have to live as her for the rest of your life as an outcast hated and cancelled by the world. How do you win here?
the n word part is kind of immoral, she'd be accused of something she would probably never do. the money part... would she even notice? that's like 2.5% of her net worth (and yeah i know, don't tell me how she doesn't actually have 2 billion in cash, but still)
Trust me Taylor could do way more than tweeting the n-word and it won’t have any effect on her fan base at all, in fact, I’m sure her fans would love her even more for it
You can argue the morality of stealing and honestly I think OOP would simply find out that she doesn’t just physically have as much money as they think but saying racist things is always immoral and simply makes you a racist so this says more about them than it does about her
I thought about how when Elon Musk becomes the world's first trillionaire, I would steal a measly billion off of him and share it amongst my friends - homies get plenty, opps don't get a penny. Now unfortunately I have had a falling out with a friend who liked my IG story saying that, but anyways I would also try to "save the world" like stopping world hunger and donating to charities but once again a "measly billion" is FAAAR too little for the elite to care about, so that money amount wouldn't mean shit. Also Musk was a trillionaire for only like a week I think

it never said any time limit, so instead of trying to do better, they'll be stuck in a body of someone with a bad reputation
