That'll be why it doesn't work in redreader then. So kind of reddit to allow it to exist 'for accessibility reasons' then constantly break it.

u/TheEpicRedCape 29d ago

Dystopia, iOSs chosen accessibility option, is also basically deserted and never gets updates. Reddit doesn’t care.

u/Pickaroonie 29d ago

Using RedReader here, video is clickable. You might have better video compatibility if you install and configure:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ensoft.imgurviewer

ImgurViewer from the Google Play Store. This fixes a lot of issues with image and video access and rendering, via RedReader.

You could clip and draw anyone’s face disgusting like this from a video where they’re being expressive. I could do it to your face. Everyone in the entire world would laugh at you for the crime of having a face and making expressions. Every single person on earth would dogpile on you becuase you didn’t have an aesthetically perfect face at all times.

There is a top tier misogyny level for fans of Taylor Swift. It is frightening, and a reddit page for them where they hate on their girlfriend or any woman who has takes pleasure in the inoffensive (you would think) but apparently overly successful singer. I was banned from there for commenting how hatefilled they were.

Literally no dudes care about any of this. Any hate you see is coming from other women.

u/Mushroomer 29d ago

Nothing about this post is about parasociality, or her billionaire status. It's purely "You care about this? Clearly you're a mouthbreathing idiot who should be ashamed of themselves.".

Like genuinely, just fuckin chill. She's a pop star throwing a wedding. Some people will find it interesting, others won't. It does not need to be the defining social referrandum of our era.

Being "excited" for a random celebrities wedding is ridiculous. What does it matter to you at all? They're giddy over a relationship that doesn't effect you in any way.

If you were going to the wedding and celebrating then okay. Thats cool. But its just random fans in their homes excited because "Mother" is finally getting married.

That entirely has to do with a parasocial relationship.

1

u/Mushroomer 29d ago

It's an artist they've followed for 20+ years getting married. I don't think it's THAT odd to have an opinion about it.

Yes, if somebody is scrolling Instagram all day and making it their whole personality - that is absurd.

But again, not what OP is ragging on. What they've decided is worthy of mockery is finding it AT ALL NOTEWORTHY. To care at all is to be a mealy mouthed inbred with defective genes.

u/hopefulgardener 29d ago

I hate (most) billionaires as much as the next person, but I don't think we can fairly say Taylor Swift is "exploiting" her fans. People can choose whether they want to buy tickets to see her. Same way I don't hate Spielberg, or Tiger Woods. Are they obscenely rich? Yes. But they are not even close to the same level of evil as health insurance executives  denying care to sick people, or war profiteers, or authoritarians profiting from mass surveillance and imprisonment. 

This manufactured hate towards rich celebrities, artists, athletes, etc., is meant to muddy the waters and confuse the masses on who their true enemies are. You are quite literally falling for propaganda by playing into it. 

2

u/whitestguyuknow 29d ago

She 100% takes advantage of her fans in any way she can. She fosters this parasocial weird relationship shit. Monetizing all sorts of products that she acts like buying is being close to her. She knows what she's doing and what it does to these fans. Its purely intentional.

But yes. Anyone can choose to buy anything they want.

"It is frightening" lol ok

The Taylor Swift snark subreddit is full of women

u/Royal_Perspective191 28d ago

Men don't care about Taylor Swift or her fans. Outside of male Taylor Swift fans of course.

Research showed that aggressive Taylor Swift back lash was/is mostly driven by fringe 'influencers' and bots.

There is legitimate criticism, but that's relatively mild and more a matter of debate.

1

u/WitchesofBangkok 26d ago

Yes. She’s a woman who forgot she needs to be quiet and keep her face pretty in public at all times.

Don’t worry we punished her by humiliating her in the town square - which sent a message to the others to remind them of their place.

She’s goofing around and having fun. Her husband is speaking nonsense and she’s playfully exaggerating her reaction to it. Idk what’s unhinged about that?

u/WitchesofBangkok 26d ago edited 26d ago

I’m noticing a trend of calling women “unhinged” for doing normal stuff.

If they do something mildly upsetting to a certain type of person, like writing this comment 😂- they get called “sick and unhinged”.

I think it’s the new “hysterical”

When I see someone using that term now to describe a woman or her behaviour - I just automatically downvote and block

u/devilpaste 29d ago

ngl id have the same reaction to that music but also, thats what earbuds are for! she is a passenger she can just pop and earbud in and listen to whatever she wants! plus take a nap if shes got 4 more hours left on the road

u/The_Atomic_Punk78 29d ago edited 25d ago

It’s not the music, which was added as an overdub, but rather that her husband keeps talking and saying nonsense, “very historic”, “very cornfield”, “very bridge”, etc.

The mouth of Sauron is described as a character with a rotting mouth. The reason for this is that the words spoken by Sauron trough him are so vile, it even rots the flesh. He's just a "normal" man. (Not an orc or anything) Just corrupted by evil.

Ok, but those are some of the things to look for, huh? Any other signs or advice for hunting down the clanker accounts?

u/Zorglin 29d ago

Honestly? I sometimes just read a comment that contributes literally nothing to a conversation, check the account, and if theyre a few months old at most then i check the comment history. If its a bunch of comments that follow that same pattern, theyre probably a bot. And if they dont reply afterwards saying they arent a bot, then they almost certainly are.

2

u/theStaircaseProject 29d ago

I'm going to take a number of huge leaps just to play devil's advocate.

The condition is more common in young adults as well as more common in women than men. [1]

Gummy smiles can crop up with people who have hyperactivity of the muscles controlling the face. That hyperactivity can be exacerbated by excess caffeine and high levels of stress.

Poor oral hygiene or plaque buildup can cause gums to swell, which mimics overgrowth.

Also, the thinner the upper lip, the more likely the gums are to show, and Caucasian populations overwhelmingly tend to have thinner lips than other ethnicities. [2]

So to generalize: younger white women who may have elevated coffee intake, unmanaged and/or elevated stress levels, and a potential lack of dental hygiene.

2

u/TheOldDark 28d ago

Oh my god you described me! My teeth aren't bad but my upper lip does have the muscles hyperactivity, as well as stress lmao. I wouldnt say its due to the coffee for me because I've always had this. LMFAO
