"What are you doing complaining about this piece of shit on your plate? Do you have any idea how it looked when the chef brought it to us? It was just one big pile of feces!" Well then that is a shame sir, perhaps consider hiring a different chef.
That is a complete utter LIE lol. I have seen posts literally insinuating that Taylor is a narcissist sucking the life out of Travis and all that is in the comments was praise. The mods are just upset that their subreddit was called out and targeted and now they’re trying to save their ass lol
I found it so unironically funny that they brought up 'xxxx's subreddit is way worse' 'wait till he sees xxxx'. Just because there are worse ones out there doesn't make you any less unhinged.
Right! There are always bigger issues than the bigger issue, that doesn't make the current one any less important. I know that there are DEFINITELY worse subreddits than this one, but that doesn't make this one any less weird
It's hilarious because I'm on a subreddit for snarking on Asian-American influencers and we were applauding (and downright embarrassed) that D'Angelo covered Daisy Choi lmfao
They’re wildin on the sub now. I don’t recommend anyone checking for their own sanity but… if spending two days on a subreddit makes D’Angelo obsessed, then what are they? 🤔
The fact that D'Angelo literally gets *paid* to do this still seems to escape them, and also that they are obsessing for free in their reddit while casually handing him more content to make his literal job *easier* just makes it more amazing
@@Xanthelei nahhh, where are you hanging out?? The ones i follow do call out that type of hating behavior from other redditors instead of being like "whooo?"
The fact theyre trying to delude themselves that D'angelo is a swiftie is crazy 😭 like yall, some people just think celebrity culture is weird and it goes both ways? Damn.
And they all accuse him of being a Swiftie STILL. And any comments that say the contrary and try to fact check are getting deleted. It is quite literally an echo chamber with no dissenting opinions
They can't possibly spend 25 minutes on a video critiquing all their flaws. It might make them rethink their pathetic life choices. And we can't have that happening, can we?
Yes! You know what this reminds me of? *CHEF* from South Park. Isaac Hayes (RIP) was all in on South Park making fun of Every Celebrity and Religion and Subject known to man UNTIL they did one on Tom Cruise and Scientology. Then, all of a sudden, Isaac was upset and wanted to leave the show. It was fine as long as they targeted everyone else's religion. **_taking out my eyes so I can properly roll them_**
The wakeup call I needed to leave the subreddit 😌 Was never really a hater or a huge fan of her, and I originally joined bc I thought it would be mostly fair criticism. While I’ve seen a bit of that, the constant snarking of things like her looks or the way she opens her mouth were too much. Very sick of the obsessive hating of every move she makes
Same! I was in it for all of a week and honestly. It became super...actually pathetic. Idk. It's okay to be critical of celebs for sure but you're right, you're gonna attack her for just existing and moving her mouth in certain ways?! It was wild lol
same, I was in a really bad place and one day I just... woke up lol. it's super toxic, a lot of it is just people wanting a reason to hate her and insult her. it took over my reddit feed and the second I left and avoided the posts, I could tell my mood changed. they can say it doesn't effect your mentality in life but I could feel myself being less negative about everything in days. the mods are all super weird , I was in the private discord chat for a while for mods and approved posters. they went off for like 2 hours about how Palestinians shouldn't have elected Hamas if they didn't want Israel's military response of killing everyone indiscriminately. I left a few days later. just a lot of negative people who thrive in negative environments.
Snarkers are actual stans, if you're familiar with the Eminem song that was the origin of the term. Parasocial relationships gone wrong. They obsess so hard over a celeb that it gradually turns into a deep resentment when the celeb does things they don't approve of, and they can't just let it go and stop being a fan like most people do when they lose interest in something they used to enjoy. Instead they cling to their unhinged obsession and make it their mission to destroy it. Weirdo behavior.
me too! I agree some things Taylor does are weird as hell and her fans are a bit extreme sometimes but that sub was sooo much weirder, i left a little comment respectfully saying the sub was a bit extreme, im sure im getting downvoted as i type this out.
Character redemption arc🤞🏽🤞🏽But fr I'm happy you were able to have a chance of perspective. Even if the concept of that subreddit wasn't unhinged, it's still so harmful to your own health to have that hivemind mentality
@@JessM-bz6yp not quite, this page isn't dedicated to glazing D'Angelo. Whether we respond positively or negatively to him is not inherent to the community. You can tell by the comments on that Chappell Roan video. That snark subreddit however IS dedicated to spreading hate to Taylor and Travis.
@@stormageddon9930 who cares? if you don't like taylor swift and travis, just ignore them. it's not hard. if you don't like this comment, just ignore it. it's not hard. if you don't like something, just ignore it. it's not hard. buuut it's fun to be a haterrr, sooo :P nuance is dead! embrace unhinged conspiratorialism, reject balanced takes! may delusion take the world!
Hating Taylor being your personality is such a throwback to that era we all hated Justin Bieber or Twilight ("still a better love story than twiligh" memes etc.)
It's so funny that you put it that way. Bro, she is literally a pop star, it's not that serious. Like, imagine going into the office on Monday and when your co-workers ask what you did over the weekend, would you be able to admit that you spent it trashing Taylor on a snark subreddit with your whole chest? Embarrassing.
He has 77 videos, 76 of which are not about Taylor Swift. This is obviously not his entire personality, you just never bothered to look any further than this comment section lol.
just looked through it yesterday right after the video and i’ve never seen ppl defend their right to be miserable so bad 😭 it’s them saying “how dare he say we don’t know taylor personally? we are EX-SWIFTIES!” LMAOOOOO
snark reddits are genuinely doing something irreparable to people’s brains…it seems like they started off with intentions that i can understand but i haven’t seen one snark reddit that hasn’t turned into just a hateful space
Love the "look at other subreddits, they're more unhinged" defense. Like, you're aware that you're still plenty unhinged though? And it doesn't negate the weird shit you guys post because you have nothing else to do apparently.
"Why are you complaining about the shit on your plate? You're lucky you didn't go next door, they'll serve you shit soup!" Hmmm could it be that two things can be toxic at once?
Neutral subreddits in general make much more sense to me than snark ones...because if you genuinely want a place to freely criticise a person, wouldn't you want to do it in a place where you can discuss your opinions with others who are also neutral but may have different viewpoints? You know, keep an open mind? Increase your knowledge? Instead of simply creating your own echo chamber where anyone who's not part of your hive mind gets shunned ... And then you turn around and criticise the FANS for being a cult? Nope, they're all equally deranged. Atleast fans waste their time being obsessive over something they LOVE rather than someone they claim to hate so viscerally. I have more respect for the former.
Typical bully behavior tbh. It’s playing victim, it’s the saying “oh this sub does worse”, it’s the acting like what they’re doing is normal human behavior, it’s them blaming the man calling them out, it’s the way they can’t seem to look in the mirror. It’s the way they say he didn’t do research despite not putting in the minimum effort to watch a video. If they get a hold of this comment you KNOW they’ll just bash the Genshin pfp as a way to discredit. Wild of them, to say they’re not bullies while simultaneously proving that they are indeed bullies. Edit: typo fix
Or many of us were straight up bullied by her insane fans and everyone acts like Swifties are the most wholesome thing ever when they can and will tell you to kill yourself and make fun you your for a loved one who passed away. They do this regularly Nobody on the "unhinged" sub has done that to me when I've defended Taylor against the drugs use accusations.
Imagine disliking something so much and making it your whole personality. Like, letting the most inconsequential stuff just take daily rent-free space in your head. Also, I honestly expected this. I legitimately do not understand wasting endless hours on... rumors about someone you've never met and you "hate". Truly unhinged.
why do you think people waste endless hours?? you do realize there’s over like 100k people subbed. just because there’s a lot of activity doesn’t mean every single person there is on it for hours and posting constantly or even make them obsessed. there’s a ton of people with a ton of opinions and it’s a TAYLOR SWIFT snark sub! You’re saying they’re obsessed because there are posts about the person the entire sub is about? I don’t understand the logic of that.
@thegreenmachine90 when did he say he hated any of these people? You can criticize or comment on something without "hating" it. And I also think it's different when he's not out here accusing people he doesn't know of being drug addicts or hurting other people etc. Just saying, I think theres an obvious difference between the two.
@@thegreenmachine90 He literally adressed this in the video. He made one video rightfully calling them out and then another covering their reaction to his first video. Meanwhile, this subreddit is literally a dedicated space to hating/criticizing Taylor Swift 24/7. It's not the same thing at all.
@@thegreenmachine90 "I have no skin in this game" 4 of your 5 comments on this channel are about this situation and in all of them you're defending the sub-reddit in some way. Just admit you clearly are invested in this and have an unpopular opinion, it's not the end of the world.
Which is exactly what they do with Taylor Swift… they know nothing about her private interactions, but because those interactions exist, they feel qualified to tear them apart.
Seriously! I remember seeing a post a few months back where people said they wished she was MORE depressed and nobody was pointing out how thats a little weird? 😭
I partly blame the mods for deleting literally anything that goes against the usual degrading comments about Taylor. They've successfully created a mini fascist government where the only opinions permitted are ones that they agree with.
I’ve been a lurker on that sub on occasion for a while, and it seems like a lot of the people there are former swifties who are struggling with the complexities of a broken down parasocial relationship. A lot of the posts I’ve seen sound like heartbroken fans who feel like they don’t have a safe space to express their emotions and conflicting opinions about a currently inescapable superstar with a really powerful fan base. I’ve seen the brigading that the swifties do across multiple platforms, and it makes sense that people are in search of a safe space to express their complicated feelings without getting bullied for it. Granted, the existence of a parasocial connection to a pop star (whether positive or negative) is indicative of some form of psychological unease, so to me, it’s kind of to be expected that the “unhinged” commentary is going to emerge. When you combine the complex relationship with Swift (as her former fans) with the overall psychological affect of parasocial behavior, it makes sense that, at some point, the conversations have devolved into toxic snarking. These people are literally going through a break-up with one of the most popular and exposed celebrities in the world, both online and off. I can imagine it’s a bit of a maddening experience for them. I have some empathy for them in that sense. But, at the end of the day, this kind of complex psychological problem should be addressed with a professional who can provide concrete steps to heal this unique kind of heartbreak. And spreading mean words, especially towards someone who is providing perfectly valid critique of recent posts, isn’t doing anyone any good. I hope psychologists will do some thorough research and investigation into the rise of parasocial relationships with celebrities, especially online. To me it illustrates a new form of psychological coping strategies as a result of our current climate of distrust in institutions, late-stage capitalism and the overall collapse of the social contract on the internet. Anyone from that sub who is reading this comment: I genuinely feel empathy for you but I also want to remind you that healing happens away from the keyboard. You don’t always have to document your feelings on the internet, especially if it’s unkind in nature. Go punch a pillow, scream in the forest, and try to find some solace in the world around you, the internet probably isn’t going to help you much. And maybe someday, if we choose to vote in our own interest and demand proper funding of our social programs, our mental healthcare system will be able to handle this huge influx of complex psychological phenomena that have evolved as a response to everything that happens online. Until then, we’re kind of on our own. So just try to take care of yourself and show yourself and others kindness, online and off.
Wow this is a super nuanced and beautiful take. Great job, never had a parasocial relationship but having mental health issues this resonated with me a bit.
“These are only the mild/soft things we post!” Is not the flex they think it is lol. Imagine someone being called out for saying racist stuff and their response is “lol you should see all of the nazi stuff we say!” Like, okay? You’re not doing yourselves any favours with that statement
Nobody says any Nazi stuff you fucking weirdo. We criticize her for being a very cruel person who has ruined people's careers and uses her fans to do her bidding. Is that better?
I just had a scary thought that if those kind of people took over POC and Jews (regardless of colour. We come in all of them!) would get persecuted and that would be sooooo fricked. Everything would go BUCK. WILD. We don’t take ish lying down anymore*, neither do POC in general. Man took a synagogue full of people hostage. When he tried to make them kneel to make them not be alive anymore, they all said “No.” and someone yeeted a chair at him. Everyone booked it and were fine. “Nothing to lose, now! WHAM!” Mental illness is no excuse, but the man was not well.
"Oh but xyz group is worse!!" I have a banana and kiwi allergy. The banana allergy is worse. If you offer me both a banana and a kiwi, I'm not going to take the kiwi just because it's not as bad as the banana. I'm not going to not mention the only the banana allergy if a dish includes both, just because the banana is worse, I'll mention BOTH. But currently we are talking about a dish that only has kiwis, so why would I mention that the banana allergy is actually worse
@itmeeeeebip thankfully out of the few dozen food allergies I have, ONLY banana is actually bad enough to get me to not eat it. I don't care if my tongue is num afterwards and my tummy feels horrible I'm still eating that goddamn kiwi
I'm very mildly allergic to vitamin c so most fruits make my mouth sting but I love fruit so I eat it anyway lol. I'm also severely allergic to peanuts and would never ever eat any part of it (on purpose).
it's crazy, because i'll bet most people can agree that taylor is a better billionaire than diddy... does this mean we're all morally-required to become swifties? hope not
Agreed. I have a minor allergy to raw bananas and a fatal reaction to grapefruit because of medications I take. Like you said, if there was a discussion about how bad banana allergies are, I wouldn’t bring up my fatal grapefruit reaction as a “there are worse things out there” point because the discussion had nothing to do with grapefruits and, just because grapefruits would kill me, doesn’t negate my mild banana allergy
like im not even a fan of TS, but im not gonna join a subreddit just to criticize her ALL day, like what’s the point of it? everyone on that subreddit seems obsessive and weird 😭
Snark subreddits are such an interesting phenomenon. They usually start with a group people saying ''I can't criticise x/y/z without ppl attacking me, so I need my own place to vent'', I know this because I've been in a snark sub from its beginning. But gradually, these subs literally become what they hate where, not hating on x/y/z for the most inane reasons is frowned upon. You HAVE to hate, you can't stop hating if you're part of a snark sub, it's how the sub lives and breathes.
you are right, hate is what keeps snark pages alive. I came across a snark page talking about an influencer whose husband died by suicide, the basically blamed her for causing his death with her lifestyle and when someone called them out, they said "they are just trying to hold her accountable". For what exactly? she was literally mourning the death of her husband an the father of her kids but to these people it was just a snarky conversation. I don't understand how hateful comments about someone means "holding them available" and I guess, I will never know.
9:50 This is EXACTLY the problem with "snarky" communities online, they encourage INSTANT negative reactions before people have had time to process the information in front of them to even inform an independent opinion. It's an echo chamber that encourages bad emotional regulation and impulsive decision making and a lack of accountability, they bully anyone who displays critical thinking because it makes them feel complicated emotions they don't know how to examine.
I saw a comment about how the “Travis has CTE because he’s dating TS” was just a joke and I hate that. It’s speculated that Phillip Adams killed 6 people because of CTE. It’s not a laughing matter. It’s a horrible thing that happens to players and it shows such a lack of empathy to joke about it.
Well, as someone once said, players gonna play and haters gonna hate. I believe this person also said “you play stupid games, you win stupid prizes” in one of their songs, and that’s exactly what this subreddit did. Love your content, D’Angelo! Proudly both a non-toxic Swiftie and a student of yours who enrolls and submits my feedback!
I was excited to see you bring up this sub yesterday. I've had it suggested to me before and was shocked at how unhinged and mean it was. Honestly, you went easy on them. I can't imagine devoting time to say things like that about someone I don't actually know.
I tried asking some of the newer comments if they even watched the video or if they even do more than be hypocritical, and I got perma banned for brigading.
@@nyct1b1us No, Reddit considers going to another subreddit to harass or incite as brigading. I'm banned from one of the sport teams subreddits for comments after my team won.
I didn't expect them to be super open to us as outsiders crashing their party, but their view on not only Taylor but anyone outside of their group is oversimplified and even flanderized. Probably easier to just assume you're a ride or die fan than actually digest that their behavior has gotten to an unhealthy point. Because so much energy towards things you hate isn't healthy-I hope they find things they currently love and enjoy to fill that spot instead
Yep. They don’t understand that criticizing Taylor when she does something wrong is normal behavior. Dedicating hours a day to following her every move so that you can FIND things to criticize her for? Unhinged and weird
i think reddit is a cool social media because of the fact you can go to spaces dedicated to your interests, but it also means you can end up in more echo-chamber like spaces and take any outside flack personally. I was in a snark sub for lore olympus(pls trust i wasnt weird abt it) and even in a small sub like that you sometimes catch yourself getting riled up by everyone else.
calling you a swiftie when you don‘t even know about the vienna terrorist threats and the subsequent first and only cancellation in the eras tour is morbidly funny to me.
It was huge news (like actual news, not pop culture gossip) in Europe. two teenagers had serious plans of a terrorist attack at the taylor swift concert in Vienna, so she had to cancel them. people only found out shortly before the concert was supposed to happen and were devastated. this sub criticized her for not apologizing/putting out a statement fast enough (she waited until the end of the European leg of her tour).
@@Kat-qk5ob Thank you for the info, that's wild!! I'm in the US and haven't really been paying attention to international news atm bc I'm my dad's primary caretaker while he recovers from surgery and trying to help spread the news about local/state election issues. Idk how I'd react if an opera that I was in got shut down due to threats, so it's wild that she seems to be damned if she does and damned if she doesn't. I don't like TS or her music, but there are much better things to criticize her for.
I’m not a fan of TS but I am against people berating and mocking someone for potentially having an addiction. It’s not a good thing to speculate on, and if she did in fact have these addictions that’s not a character flaw (and I’m sure she has other flaws) but a serious and potentially fatal disease. It might seem insignificant but it’s these types of conversations that intensify the stigma that stops so many people (not just TS) from getting help. Signed, a substance use counselor who is in recovery.
Watching these videos D'Angelo posted about Taylor Swift is the most I've thought about her all year. These people are giving Swift endless real estate in their minds and souls and that's the real sad thing.
They know more about what Taylor is doing than I do and I went to her tour and I have her vinyl i just don’t care enough to keep up with her day to day like what😂😂😂
as a fan of hers, i completely think that criticism is necessary for growth, this sub is not criticism it’s just hate and spreading gossip rather than actually bringing up legitimate issues with her.
You are not a fan and that page is straight up hate speech. You want valid criticism go to the Swiftologist. Not this hate speech page run by Gaylors with fake conspiracy theories that want to destroy Taylor’s life.
exactly! and i personally don't like travis at all, but the things they were saying on that subreddit were insane. even if you think they are a PR relationship, it's not hurting anyone and they are just doing their job as celebrities! they are acting like taylor killed their pets
It's the assumptions based on a parasocial relationship, that I find disturbing. If you don't actually know someone IRL, it's not a good idea to spread misinformation. It's just online bullying.
I have been a fan of Taylor Swift’s music since her first album was released. (I’m 29.) I go through periods where I am completely exhausted by the overexposure, because I am not a ~stan~ and don’t care about her as a person, so I will deliberately avoid anything about her. I’ve gone entire years without paying any attention to what she’s doing, simply because I didn’t want to. The fact that the people who run this sub seem completely incapable of understanding that you /can/ avoid Taylor Swift if you want to is just… beyond me. Like, they are spending multiple hours a day raging about Taylor while following everything she does, and they legitimately believe that the reason that they’re doing this is because they can’t escape her. It’s really not that hard when you’re not obsessive!!! But they are obsessive!! It’s so weird!!
The thing is, they clearly don't want to avoid her. They seek out any and everything about her. They're stans, just without the adoration. Love and hate aren't opposites, and these people are prime examples of it.
I know right! Just block her name and anything related to her on social media platforms. There’s ways to do that now. And if that doesn’t work, idk you can just ignore all the articles and media related to her. If you’re on a sub related to anything TS, Google is gonna constantly shove her in your face. It’s how the internet works nowadays.
Even during times when I listen to nothing but her music (new album release) I don't know what's going on with her every day. Like I hear news about her way later than these people do, guaranteed 😂
I do wonder, genuinely, how much algorithms these days actually make that hard though. They used to be a fan, but now they aren't - but the algorithm is like "but you like her, so here's more news", and they interact with it because "omg see, she flew three times today how dare", which just feeds the algorithm even more.
@@Wreathwitherspoon they'd do anything in their power to save her because they wouldn't have anything or anyone else to constantly obsess over otherwise
I think they are especially angry because usually they can just block delete and report any criticism that gets commented in their sub reddit while you have created a video that they cannot touch and it angers them they are not used to being criticized and having it stay out in the world outside their little echo chamber where they don’t have to hear the opinions of others
D’Angelo you were too good at that cocaine gesture, so now I’m going to have a conspiracy that you do 20 lines of cocaine a day and also there’s a glare on the left lens of your glasses meaning you’re secretly in a alien space ship
I read that last bit as, "you’re an alien space ship." I was confused, but wanted to know more about D'Angelo being a vessel used to convey aliens through space.
There was one comment that said that Taylor has been shoved into our faces for years and that most people would remember information about her. But I couldn't even tell you her age. The amount of time these people spend daily deconstructing and addressing the information they have about her is _wild_ .
Thank you! Especially in these times where people watch whatever they want, and don’t need to watch the news channel on TV to find information. Celebrities cannot be shoved down your throat as much as they were back then. You have to actively look out for it and look for information about the celebrity.
I dunno her age and middle name either and ive been shoved videos and posts about her many times. But guess what because im not obsessed with her i dunno anything
@@LostAndSortaHighVibes really? Cause I am a 68 year old football fan that listened to Travis's podcast well before Taylor. But I have heard people use her full name like they were calling her home for dinner so many times I have known it for years.
they have no accountability for themselves, they make themselves the victim of circumstances they created because they can't disconnect from discourse about her, it's practically an addiction to them (I'll say fixation to not bleed into their weirdness). They could like idk pick up crochet or something but nope they would rather tell you someone is holding them at ransom to post deranged takes on her
I've been a fan for years and I've always thought her birthday was Sept 13th,1989. I recently found out it is actually in December. When used to lurk on reddit, I said it is silly to say a celebrity is being shoved down your throat when you are actively participating in a pop culture subreddit and I was downvoted. I only use IG and RUclips and guess what, I only see things about Taylor when I actively watch her channels or check Taylor Nation. I can literally click not interested on IG and I will stop getting recommendations about Taylor Swift. My YT front page and my IG explore page is literally food and natural hair styles because those are what I watch all the time. The algorithm gives you what you feed it, this is common sense.
Wild responses to such a nuanced view of a celebrity tbh. I’m really glad your community has more or less agreed that alleged “addictions” are not something to be taken lightly. I had a loved one taken from me by alcoholism and that slow loss is excruciating. Saying someone is a drunk because you don’t like her now is UNHINGED. People are wayyy too invested both sides of this debate
Nothing screams “I don’t care about Taylor” like using a subreddit whose sole purpose is to overanalyze Taylor’s every move in a negative way. Unironic fan behavior 😂
It's like they're INSISTING on their right to be miserable and spend the hours and hours of their day on a billionaire lady they personally don't know and will never have an impact on her life. I promise you the only one losing here is you.
Fully transparent here- I’m having mixed thoughts. I’m a former swiftie that joined this subreddit as a safe place to talk about her very problematic behavior. I have found a lot of community through that sub but I have to say I have always hated when it divulged into weird body shaming or hate over things that don’t matter. It does feel like one of the only safe places to criticize her but I also agree with D’Angelo on a lot of the things he is saying
Then you’re not mixed because he agrees with what you’re saying and said it himself. He said critique is a good thing but that the things discussed in the subreddit weren’t actual critiques
@@dxydreamerOh for sure. By mixed feelings I didn’t really mean mixed feelings about D’Angelo or his opinions. More so mixed feelings about the subreddit that I’ve been apart of for a while now. I do understand how that wasn’t clear though in the way I worded it
@@shollingsworth Ohh I understand what you mean now! I agree with you, I’m part of it myself and it’s so exhausting wanting to criticise genuinely problematic behaviour and seeing people literally talk about the way she bends her neck?
@@dxydreamerthis is my opinion too! like please let’s not shame women for how they look 😭 we should be criticizing her for valid reasons (which there are plenty of)
I will never understand people who are this obsessed with hating on somebody they have never met, then when you point out that it's weird they just go "nuh uh!!" Criticise people, especially celebs, but when you make it your entire personality, you need professional help.
these people are under the impression that stalking someone and creating conspiracy theories about them is the same thing as 'snarking.' they're just as creepy and obsessed as fans that create gaylor theories or insist the private jet flying billionaire has never done anything wrong.
i absolutely adore the sassy comments you make when people call you things like “smug,” i hope to exude that kind of self confidence someday & it makes me giggle every time.
these people don't understand, even the existence of subreddits like this, is an INSANE and weird thing. genuinely dedicating all of your time online in an echochamber of hate has never been normal
no fr, i couldn't believe it when i saw the upload😭😭 i ran to the subreddit and saw everyone's replies yesterday, and i was dying😭 like i personally don't like travis, and still that subreddit weirded me out A LOT. some attacks had nothing to do with the relationship being "pr" but just having viseral hatred for taylor
I hate that page as a normal Swiftie I want it taken down it’s disgusting hatred. And D’Angelo didn’t do anything wrong that page has no right to get upset. Their behavior needs to be called out!!
Too right. One said “Swifties try not to be angry or act like literal children when people have valid criticism to taylor swift challenge, extremely impossible” like none of that criticism was valid lol??
It’s great you’re talking about this because ppl don’t realize how mean and cruel normal ppl are on the internet that it’s refreshing for them to be called out over talking about the same celeb that everybody else is
This video is at the top again over there! The precious little darlings just couldn't stop themselves. Bless their hearts. Update: Having gone through so many of their comments it's really obvious that 99.9% of them didn't watch either video. Also, they truly do not understand how obsessed they are. I will now never look at their mess of a subreddit again.
I used to work with a person who had a hater mindset like this. I could have swore we were cool at one point, but then one day she just decided to spread a nasty rumor about me that could have gotten me fired if I didn’t hear about it from someone I was actually friends with. I don’t know if random combustion is real, but I was about to find out in that moment. I eventually had to leave with no notice because management wasn’t helping at all :))
@@SuperNuclearUnicornIt goes beyond that. They've created an echo chamber of hatred towards one person, which doesn't bring any positive emotions, so it can't possibly be "for fun".
Honestly, the fact that you make videos about whatever you feel like-and try to keep a balance between serious and lighthearted topics-is what makes your channel so interesting. Every time I get the notification that you’ve posted a new video, I’m interested to see what topic you’ve chosen and what your take is on it.
Wait, I´m not too much into the taylorverse either, but didn´t the Vienna concert mentioned at 18:11 cancelled because of a bomb threat? Do they think that was Taylor´s fault too?
they're not talking about that. they're talking about TS not saying anything and swifities attacking people for being upset their concert for cancelled
„/s“ denotes that everything before that was sarcastic, so I „end“ the sarcasm. Sarcasm means that I say the exact opposite of what I mean, in this case in a humorous manner. But for what it‘s worth, I also hope she never returns to Vienna 😂 her concerts in europe were pandemonium (that means chaotic in this context)
I am a swiftie and the question i ask myself is: why people need to make up stories when you have a lot of real reasons to criticize her? Shes a billionaire, she uses her jet to go to the kitchen, she dated Matty of all people. Being a fan is not being blind. And most Taylor haters know more about her than me, and i'm a fan for more than 10 years. They are unhinged, its the only explanation.
And not to use whataboitism but she's not even in the top jet user 😭 They all just wanna hate on her so they run to twitter and just take whatever talking point no matter how wrong And in the end they make it hard even for us fans to criticize her bc they made criticizing seem so irrational for everyone
@@KeithLOONAtic yeah and her jet actually gets rented to others all the time like transportation stuff so there's that. She isn't even personally using it most of the time. The criticism around it is pretty stupid actually.
Just gonna say. I LOVE your deep dive comment. But I'm loving getting to hear your thoughts on more light things. You've done such an amazing job in normalizing nuanced conversations, even on silly banal things. You keep making, I'll keep watching!
It's crazy how they seem to think the main point of your video (and this response) is "this subreddit is mean" when the actual point is "this subreddit is weird"
I feel like “unhinged” isn’t a strong enough term. It can be used endearingly and some people act like it’s just “quirky.” No, these people are miserable nutjobs.
I just checked the subreddit and omg- it’s so obvious they watched like 30 seconds of the video bc so much of what they’re complaining about is stuff that is literally plainly stated in the video. they totally missed the point 😭😭
i used to be part of that subreddit. then left because it quickly devolved into people just being insane and batshit. whenever they come suggested on my dash again i’m SCARED LOL im not even a taylor swift fan but bro they are not grounded in reality😭 ive been waiting for someone to clock them and im glad it was you lol i knew they would be scrambling
ironic that the things this sub is mad about d'angelo supposedly did to them---nitpicking, pulling things out of context, jumping to conclusions, calling them names, acting morally superior, etc.---is exactly what they do to taylor swift all the time. it's not so nice when other people do it to you is it?
this exactly. the lack of self awarness is honestly amusing yet sad to see too. I never understood what people meant with touch grass... but now I get it and they should go outside for once please 😭😂
most online groups, but especially subreddits, that focus on something negative tend to fly off the deep end in fascinating ways but there's something almost riveting about watching a group like this see themselves in the mirror for even a second. hope at least a few of these folks go outside, maybe pet a dog, find a hobby that doesn't involve getting angry about how some rich lady hugs her rich boyfriend.
This is deeply entertaining as someone who is never beating the Swiftie allegations but also knows Tsylor Swift is just a flawed person within a flawed system like all of us (plus a billion or so dollars). We all have music and people we dislike and that's fine! But one thing I cannot imagine is how miserable I'd have to be to build an entire community around hating something or someone. You hit the nail on the head with this just being the other side of parasociality.
@novamoin246 A subreddit criticizing her isn't a wrong thing. Just because she is rich and famous it doesn't mean her boot soles taste good. Everybody praises her and nobody can criticize her.
"we have so much more unhinged stuff happening here that gets moderated" is the take of all time
"we don't call her a coke addict. That makes it okay to call her an alcoholic!"
"What are you doing complaining about this piece of shit on your plate? Do you have any idea how it looked when the chef brought it to us? It was just one big pile of feces!" Well then that is a shame sir, perhaps consider hiring a different chef.
"the unhinged shit you showed isn't even what gets posted on the reg, dude"
the fact that it keeps happening is a problem they refuse to address
That is a complete utter LIE lol. I have seen posts literally insinuating that Taylor is a narcissist sucking the life out of Travis and all that is in the comments was praise. The mods are just upset that their subreddit was called out and targeted and now they’re trying to save their ass lol
I found it so unironically funny that they brought up 'xxxx's subreddit is way worse' 'wait till he sees xxxx'. Just because there are worse ones out there doesn't make you any less unhinged.
Exactly this!!!
Right! There are always bigger issues than the bigger issue, that doesn't make the current one any less important. I know that there are DEFINITELY worse subreddits than this one, but that doesn't make this one any less weird
The forever farcical idea that you can't think something is bad if something worse exists.
"Oh you think X is bad? Why aren't you worrying about Y which is 100x worse!" I BEG YOU to have a HINT of nuance in your thinking
They're so unhinged they don't see it, they're in too deep.
The irony of “how dare he say snarky things about this snark subreddit”
I would say we should start a snark snark subreddit, but I don’t have stupid time for reddit
It's hilarious because I'm on a subreddit for snarking on Asian-American influencers and we were applauding (and downright embarrassed) that D'Angelo covered Daisy Choi lmfao
Can dish it but they can’t take it lol
He didn't even say anything terribly snarky! He literally just said their behavior was weird - and I'm pretty sure that's just objectively true lol
I lurked and saw them saying stuff like “he complains about this subreddit but he keeps coming back!” and they seriously can’t see the irony…

Was never really a hater or a huge fan of her, and I originally joined bc I thought it would be mostly fair criticism. While I’ve seen a bit of that, the constant snarking of things like her looks or the way she opens her mouth were too much. Very sick of the obsessive hating of every move she makes
I'm glad you left. No one deserves to wallow in a community built on hatred. It's unhealthy.
Same! I was in it for all of a week and honestly. It became super...actually pathetic. Idk. It's okay to be critical of celebs for sure but you're right, you're gonna attack her for just existing and moving her mouth in certain ways?! It was wild lol
honestly good for you
same, I was in a really bad place and one day I just... woke up lol. it's super toxic, a lot of it is just people wanting a reason to hate her and insult her. it took over my reddit feed and the second I left and avoided the posts, I could tell my mood changed. they can say it doesn't effect your mentality in life but I could feel myself being less negative about everything in days. the mods are all super weird , I was in the private discord chat for a while for mods and approved posters. they went off for like 2 hours about how Palestinians shouldn't have elected Hamas if they didn't want Israel's military response of killing everyone indiscriminately. I left a few days later. just a lot of negative people who thrive in negative environments.
Please join swiftlyneutral for valid criticism of her that is not based on insanity !! Anyone is welcome
Snarkers are actual stans, if you're familiar with the Eminem song that was the origin of the term. Parasocial relationships gone wrong. They obsess so hard over a celeb that it gradually turns into a deep resentment when the celeb does things they don't approve of, and they can't just let it go and stop being a fan like most people do when they lose interest in something they used to enjoy. Instead they cling to their unhinged obsession and make it their mission to destroy it. Weirdo behavior.
This is sooo well explained! This is exactly what's going on in that sub!

A subreddit like that is a pretty small echo chamber. You say one thing and it immediately echoes back to you
Love the "look at other subreddits, they're more unhinged" defense. Like, you're aware that you're still plenty unhinged though? And it doesn't negate the weird shit you guys post because you have nothing else to do apparently.
Shifting the goal post. 😂
"Why are you complaining about the shit on your plate? You're lucky you didn't go next door, they'll serve you shit soup!" Hmmm could it be that two things can be toxic at once?
Neutral subreddits in general make much more sense to me than snark ones...because if you genuinely want a place to freely criticise a person, wouldn't you want to do it in a place where you can discuss your opinions with others who are also neutral but may have different viewpoints? You know, keep an open mind? Increase your knowledge?
Instead of simply creating your own echo chamber where anyone who's not part of your hive mind gets shunned ... And then you turn around and criticise the FANS for being a cult?
Nope, they're all equally deranged. Atleast fans waste their time being obsessive over something they LOVE rather than someone they claim to hate so viscerally. I have more respect for the former.
They sound like asshole boyfriends who think you should thank them for not hitting or cheating on you because they could if they wanted to.
it's giving Regina George "so you agree? your sub is unhinged and only looks normal next to worse places?"
Typical bully behavior tbh.
It’s playing victim, it’s the saying “oh this sub does worse”, it’s the acting like what they’re doing is normal human behavior, it’s them blaming the man calling them out, it’s the way they can’t seem to look in the mirror.

I legitimately do not understand wasting endless hours on... rumors about someone you've never met and you "hate". Truly unhinged.
I have no skin in the game either way, but isn’t that just what D’Angelo is doing? Wasting endless hours on people he’s never met?
why do you think people waste endless hours?? you do realize there’s over like 100k people subbed. just because there’s a lot of activity doesn’t mean every single person there is on it for hours and posting constantly or even make them obsessed. there’s a ton of people with a ton of opinions and it’s a TAYLOR SWIFT snark sub! You’re saying they’re obsessed because there are posts about the person the entire sub is about? I don’t understand the logic of that.
@thegreenmachine90 when did he say he hated any of these people? You can criticize or comment on something without "hating" it.

🎯🎯🎯
Mirrors are banned in that subreddit, no critical thinking or self reflection allowed lol
Seriously! I remember seeing a post a few months back where people said they wished she was MORE depressed and nobody was pointing out how thats a little weird? 😭
I partly blame the mods for deleting literally anything that goes against the usual degrading comments about Taylor. They've successfully created a mini fascist government where the only opinions permitted are ones that they agree with.
I’ve been a lurker on that sub on occasion for a while, and it seems like a lot of the people there are former swifties who are struggling with the complexities of a broken down parasocial relationship.
A lot of the posts I’ve seen sound like heartbroken fans who feel like they don’t have a safe space to express their emotions and conflicting opinions about a currently inescapable superstar with a really powerful fan base. I’ve seen the brigading that the swifties do across multiple platforms, and it makes sense that people are in search of a safe space to express their complicated feelings without getting bullied for it.
Granted, the existence of a parasocial connection to a pop star (whether positive or negative) is indicative of some form of psychological unease, so to me, it’s kind of to be expected that the “unhinged” commentary is going to emerge. When you combine the complex relationship with Swift (as her former fans) with the overall psychological affect of parasocial behavior, it makes sense that, at some point, the conversations have devolved into toxic snarking.
These people are literally going through a break-up with one of the most popular and exposed celebrities in the world, both online and off. I can imagine it’s a bit of a maddening experience for them. I have some empathy for them in that sense.
But, at the end of the day, this kind of complex psychological problem should be addressed with a professional who can provide concrete steps to heal this unique kind of heartbreak. And spreading mean words, especially towards someone who is providing perfectly valid critique of recent posts, isn’t doing anyone any good.
I hope psychologists will do some thorough research and investigation into the rise of parasocial relationships with celebrities, especially online. To me it illustrates a new form of psychological coping strategies as a result of our current climate of distrust in institutions, late-stage capitalism and the overall collapse of the social contract on the internet.
Anyone from that sub who is reading this comment: I genuinely feel empathy for you but I also want to remind you that healing happens away from the keyboard. You don’t always have to document your feelings on the internet, especially if it’s unkind in nature. Go punch a pillow, scream in the forest, and try to find some solace in the world around you, the internet probably isn’t going to help you much.
And maybe someday, if we choose to vote in our own interest and demand proper funding of our social programs, our mental healthcare system will be able to handle this huge influx of complex psychological phenomena that have evolved as a response to everything that happens online. Until then, we’re kind of on our own. So just try to take care of yourself and show yourself and others kindness, online and off.
I had never thought of it like that. Very well said, punky!
This was really thoughtful. Thanks for sharing your perspective.
Wow this is a super nuanced and beautiful take. Great job, never had a parasocial relationship but having mental health issues this resonated with me a bit.

“These are only the mild/soft things we post!” Is not the flex they think it is lol. Imagine someone being called out for saying racist stuff and their response is “lol you should see all of the nazi stuff we say!” Like, okay? You’re not doing yourselves any favours with that statement
Nobody says any Nazi stuff you fucking weirdo. We criticize her for being a very cruel person who has ruined people's careers and uses her fans to do her bidding. Is that better?

Agreed. I have a minor allergy to raw bananas and a fatal reaction to grapefruit because of medications I take. Like you said, if there was a discussion about how bad banana allergies are, I wouldn’t bring up my fatal grapefruit reaction as a “there are worse things out there” point because the discussion had nothing to do with grapefruits and, just because grapefruits would kill me, doesn’t negate my mild banana allergy

Snark subreddits are such an interesting phenomenon. They usually start with a group people saying ''I can't criticise x/y/z without ppl attacking me, so I need my own place to vent'', I know this because I've been in a snark sub from its beginning. But gradually, these subs literally become what they hate where, not hating on x/y/z for the most inane reasons is frowned upon. You HAVE to hate, you can't stop hating if you're part of a snark sub, it's how the sub lives and breathes.
you are right, hate is what keeps snark pages alive.
I came across a snark page talking about an influencer whose husband died by suicide, the basically blamed her for causing his death with her lifestyle and when someone called them out, they said "they are just trying to hold her accountable". For what exactly? she was literally mourning the death of her husband an the father of her kids but to these people it was just a snarky conversation.
I don't understand how hateful comments about someone means "holding them available" and I guess, I will never know.
"always has a drink in her hand"
She's at a football game! That's a normal thing!
Right like if one day of drinking every couple of weeks makes you addicted, then imma need AA.
them not realizing the drink could've been something as innocent as water or fruit juice
9:50 This is EXACTLY the problem with "snarky" communities online, they encourage INSTANT negative reactions before people have had time to process the information in front of them to even inform an independent opinion.
It's an echo chamber that encourages bad emotional regulation and impulsive decision making and a lack of accountability, they bully anyone who displays critical thinking because it makes them feel complicated emotions they don't know how to examine.

Because so much energy towards things you hate isn't healthy-I hope they find things they currently love and enjoy to fill that spot instead
no i swear its so weird to me that you can hate something yet spend SO MUCH energy and time on it??
Yep. They don’t understand that criticizing Taylor when she does something wrong is normal behavior. Dedicating hours a day to following her every move so that you can FIND things to criticize her for? Unhinged and weird
i think reddit is a cool social media because of the fact you can go to spaces dedicated to your interests, but it also means you can end up in more echo-chamber like spaces and take any outside flack personally. I was in a snark sub for lore olympus(pls trust i wasnt weird abt it) and even in a small sub like that you sometimes catch yourself getting riled up by everyone else.
calling you a swiftie when you don‘t even know about the vienna terrorist threats and the subsequent first and only cancellation in the eras tour is morbidly funny to me.
I'm sorry, the fucking WHAT??
It was huge news (like actual news, not pop culture gossip) in Europe. two teenagers had serious plans of a terrorist attack at the taylor swift concert in Vienna, so she had to cancel them. people only found out shortly before the concert was supposed to happen and were devastated. this sub criticized her for not apologizing/putting out a statement fast enough (she waited until the end of the European leg of her tour).
@@Kat-qk5ob Thank you for the info, that's wild!! I'm in the US and haven't really been paying attention to international news atm bc I'm my dad's primary caretaker while he recovers from surgery and trying to help spread the news about local/state election issues. Idk how I'd react if an opera that I was in got shut down due to threats, so it's wild that she seems to be damned if she does and damned if she doesn't. I don't like TS or her music, but there are much better things to criticize her for.
Oh. I heard about the concert and the threats, but I thought it was coincidental. Not that the concert was the target.
@@valolafson6035 Yes, one of them had been hired as security for the concert.
I’m not a fan of TS but I am against people berating and mocking someone for potentially having an addiction. It’s not a good thing to speculate on, and if she did in fact have these addictions that’s not a character flaw (and I’m sure she has other flaws) but a serious and potentially fatal disease. It might seem insignificant but it’s these types of conversations that intensify the stigma that stops so many people (not just TS) from getting help.
Signed, a substance use counselor who is in recovery.
It’s not about defending her, but defending addicts who don’t get help bc they’re ashamed.
They're about to make a D'Angelo snark reddit lmfaooo
Watching these videos D'Angelo posted about Taylor Swift is the most I've thought about her all year. These people are giving Swift endless real estate in their minds and souls and that's the real sad thing.
They know more about what Taylor is doing than I do and I went to her tour and I have her vinyl i just don’t care enough to keep up with her day to day like what😂😂😂
as a fan of hers, i completely think that criticism is necessary for growth, this sub is not criticism it’s just hate and spreading gossip rather than actually bringing up legitimate issues with her.
You are not a fan and that page is straight up hate speech. You want valid criticism go to the Swiftologist. Not this hate speech page run by Gaylors with fake conspiracy theories that want to destroy Taylor’s life.
exactly! and i personally don't like travis at all, but the things they were saying on that subreddit were insane. even if you think they are a PR relationship, it's not hurting anyone and they are just doing their job as celebrities! they are acting like taylor killed their pets
they do both actually lol. If it weren't for subs like that we wouldn't be able to voice any of our opinions because we'd get banned or flamed
It's the assumptions based on a parasocial relationship, that I find disturbing. If you don't actually know someone IRL, it's not a good idea to spread misinformation. It's just online bullying.
Reddit is full of hate speech disguised as criticism
now theyre all like “omg hes so obsessed with us”
The same people who talk about one person and are apart of a whole subreddit dedicated to her.
they do
its funny bc im sure d'angelo has much better things to think about than this one subreddit lmao. he came to work, cooked, then left.
they're like "why are you talking about this?" when the obvious answer is "because I fucking want to??"
i mean, basic social online behaviour srsly
"because y'all are weird as hell and it's entertaining to talk about"
d'angelo beefing with a whole ass subreddit was not on my 2024 bingo card
"The weirdest things I've encountered is Taylor Swift cokehead conspiracies..."
Yeah... and that's unhinged...
Let me guess it was started by that awful subreddit.
Those rumors have existed long before that subreddit was created tbh
Yupppp 😭 I wouldn’t be surprised if she did some but like why do we need to theorize about it
lol most people in the entertainment industry do coke, it’s barely even a rumor
I have been a fan of Taylor Swift’s music since her first album was released. (I’m 29.) I go through periods where I am completely exhausted by the overexposure, because I am not a ~stan~ and don’t care about her as a person, so I will deliberately avoid anything about her. I’ve gone entire years without paying any attention to what she’s doing, simply because I didn’t want to.
The fact that the people who run this sub seem completely incapable of understanding that you /can/ avoid Taylor Swift if you want to is just… beyond me. Like, they are spending multiple hours a day raging about Taylor while following everything she does, and they legitimately believe that the reason that they’re doing this is because they can’t escape her.
It’s really not that hard when you’re not obsessive!!! But they are obsessive!! It’s so weird!!
The thing is, they clearly don't want to avoid her. They seek out any and everything about her. They're stans, just without the adoration. Love and hate aren't opposites, and these people are prime examples of it.
I know right! Just block her name and anything related to her on social media platforms. There’s ways to do that now. And if that doesn’t work, idk you can just ignore all the articles and media related to her. If you’re on a sub related to anything TS, Google is gonna constantly shove her in your face. It’s how the internet works nowadays.
SAME!! I literally blocked her during the whole blocking celebrities idea and my mind's been pretty peaceful lmao
Even during times when I listen to nothing but her music (new album release) I don't know what's going on with her every day. Like I hear news about her way later than these people do, guaranteed 😂
I do wonder, genuinely, how much algorithms these days actually make that hard though. They used to be a fan, but now they aren't - but the algorithm is like "but you like her, so here's more news", and they interact with it because "omg see, she flew three times today how dare", which just feeds the algorithm even more.
imagine making a video so good, it dethroned Taylor in the mind of the anti-swifties (so, swifties at heart) even for a while
@@Wreathwitherspoon
they'd do anything in their power to save her because they wouldn't have anything or anyone else to constantly obsess over otherwise
I think they are especially angry because usually they can just block delete and report any criticism that gets commented in their sub reddit while you have created a video that they cannot touch and it angers them they are not used to being criticized and having it stay out in the world outside their little echo chamber where they don’t have to hear the opinions of others
dude… the person who edited their comments TWENTY FIVE TIMES. like holy shit. take a breath
Agreed tbh
It actually got me laughing so hard, how tf can you accuse someone of being obsessed but having twenty five times edits at the same time..
00:40 i'm playing sudoku in the bath while watching this video... this was weird.
oh thats inspired actually.
Bahahahahaha the intro was for you and you only
that sounds fire i needa try that
@@xx.abbiez2i know right oh my god LOL
Then you must be a profesor as well☝️🤓
D’Angelo you were too good at that cocaine gesture, so now I’m going to have a conspiracy that you do 20 lines of cocaine a day and also there’s a glare on the left lens of your glasses meaning you’re secretly in a alien space ship
I read that last bit as, "you’re an alien space ship." I was confused, but wanted to know more about D'Angelo being a vessel used to convey aliens through space.
There was one comment that said that Taylor has been shoved into our faces for years and that most people would remember information about her.
But I couldn't even tell you her age. The amount of time these people spend daily deconstructing and addressing the information they have about her is _wild_ .
Thank you! Especially in these times where people watch whatever they want, and don’t need to watch the news channel on TV to find information. Celebrities cannot be shoved down your throat as much as they were back then. You have to actively look out for it and look for information about the celebrity.
I dunno her age and middle name either and ive been shoved videos and posts about her many times. But guess what because im not obsessed with her i dunno anything
@@LostAndSortaHighVibes really? Cause I am a 68 year old football fan that listened to Travis's podcast well before Taylor. But I have heard people use her full name like they were calling her home for dinner so many times I have known it for years.
they have no accountability for themselves, they make themselves the victim of circumstances they created because they can't disconnect from discourse about her, it's practically an addiction to them (I'll say fixation to not bleed into their weirdness). They could like idk pick up crochet or something but nope they would rather tell you someone is holding them at ransom to post deranged takes on her
I've been a fan for years and I've always thought her birthday was Sept 13th,1989. I recently found out it is actually in December.
When used to lurk on reddit, I said it is silly to say a celebrity is being shoved down your throat when you are actively participating in a pop culture subreddit and I was downvoted. I only use IG and RUclips and guess what, I only see things about Taylor when I actively watch her channels or check Taylor Nation. I can literally click not interested on IG and I will stop getting recommendations about Taylor Swift. My YT front page and my IG explore page is literally food and natural hair styles because those are what I watch all the time.
The algorithm gives you what you feed it, this is common sense.
Wild responses to such a nuanced view of a celebrity tbh. I’m really glad your community has more or less agreed that alleged “addictions” are not something to be taken lightly. I had a loved one taken from me by alcoholism and that slow loss is excruciating. Saying someone is a drunk because you don’t like her now is UNHINGED. People are wayyy too invested both sides of this debate
I'm jumping between this video's comments and the subreddit's, it's hilarious. Recommended
😅😅same😂😂😂
what i don’t understand is how a subreddit that criticizes so much can’t handle any criticism 🫨
Totally unrelated Q: do you find it strange to post comments on other channels when you’re verified?
Nothing screams “I don’t care about Taylor” like using a subreddit whose sole purpose is to overanalyze Taylor’s every move in a negative way. Unironic fan behavior 😂
It's like they're INSISTING on their right to be miserable and spend the hours and hours of their day on a billionaire lady they personally don't know and will never have an impact on her life. I promise you the only one losing here is you.
The true haters were the friends we made along the way
Fully transparent here- I’m having mixed thoughts.
I’m a former swiftie that joined this subreddit as a safe place to talk about her very problematic behavior. I have found a lot of community through that sub but I have to say I have always hated when it divulged into weird body shaming or hate over things that don’t matter.
It does feel like one of the only safe places to criticize her but I also agree with D’Angelo on a lot of the things he is saying
Then you’re not mixed because he agrees with what you’re saying and said it himself. He said critique is a good thing but that the things discussed in the subreddit weren’t actual critiques
@@dxydreamerOh for sure. By mixed feelings I didn’t really mean mixed feelings about D’Angelo or his opinions. More so mixed feelings about the subreddit that I’ve been apart of for a while now. I do understand how that wasn’t clear though in the way I worded it
@@shollingsworth Ohh I understand what you mean now! I agree with you, I’m part of it myself and it’s so exhausting wanting to criticise genuinely problematic behaviour and seeing people literally talk about the way she bends her neck?
@@dxydreamerthis is my opinion too! like please let’s not shame women for how they look 😭 we should be criticizing her for valid reasons (which there are plenty of)
I really think that they missed a golden opportunity to name their subreddit r/Taylor&Travisty
I will never understand people who are this obsessed with hating on somebody they have never met, then when you point out that it's weird they just go "nuh uh!!"
Criticise people, especially celebs, but when you make it your entire personality, you need professional help.
these people are under the impression that stalking someone and creating conspiracy theories about them is the same thing as 'snarking.' they're just as creepy and obsessed as fans that create gaylor theories or insist the private jet flying billionaire has never done anything wrong.
@karinalumen9722 you're not smart
i absolutely adore the sassy comments you make when people call you things like “smug,” i hope to exude that kind of self confidence someday & it makes me giggle every time.
these people don't understand, even the existence of subreddits like this, is an INSANE and weird thing. genuinely dedicating all of your time online in an echochamber of hate has never been normal
I don't even hate people who have done me wrong irl THIS much, wild💀
Oh man I'm ready, I already knew this would happen but I didn't expect an update video this soon 😂
no fr, i couldn't believe it when i saw the upload😭😭 i ran to the subreddit and saw everyone's replies yesterday, and i was dying😭 like i personally don't like travis, and still that subreddit weirded me out A LOT. some attacks had nothing to do with the relationship being "pr" but just having viseral hatred for taylor
@@Flooreenciia28for SOME of those people it definitely just stems from hating women
watch people on r/TravisandTaylor start referencing this video and calling D'Angelo "angry" about it 💀
I hate that page as a normal Swiftie I want it taken down it’s disgusting hatred. And D’Angelo didn’t do anything wrong that page has no right to get upset. Their behavior needs to be called out!!
Too right. One said “Swifties try not to be angry or act like literal children when people have valid criticism to taylor swift challenge, extremely impossible” like none of that criticism was valid lol??
The response right now is "Hehe free ads hheehehe" They snark a egomaniac and then become egotistical in the same breath
@@lolothesilly they tried to say d’angelo has “mental health issues” and is “spiraling” for making these two videos, like huh
@@kkarawei oh the projection is crazy
the complete lack of self awareness from these people is astounding. guys, you are obsessive and your subreddit is weird. it's that simple. 😭
It’s great you’re talking about this because ppl don’t realize how mean and cruel normal ppl are on the internet that it’s refreshing for them to be called out over talking about the same celeb that everybody else is
The most unhinged hater subreddit is the pet free sub. They hate anyone who has pets. It’s insane.
A hate group never likes their actions exposed. ✨Well well well if it isn’t the consequences of my own actions✨
Exactly!! In fact I wish their entire page gets deleted as a normal fan of Taylor.
maybe hate group isn't the right phrase here? the Klan is hate group, this is typical reddit behavior.
it's funny because if they have the right to hate on taylor swift, by logic we also have the right to "hate" (or be weirded out) by them
We have a moral obligation to hate billionaires even if this is a topic white liberals are uncomfortable to discuss
oh no, taylor swift reddit haters. i'm shaking in my baby seal leather boots
They are scary like the spe-i-ders.
Truly God's soldiers
they need to go back to shool
MEGAMIND REF
@@starkid_rocks YES!! i need to watch it again, it's been forever since i've seen it 😩
yk I'm just glad that D'Angelo is still posting I literally can't live without these daily videos 😭
Same here. I enjoy them so much!
Happy for you but remember he’s not on a schedule reduce your expectations 😭
This video is at the top again over there! The precious little darlings just couldn't stop themselves. Bless their hearts.
Update: Having gone through so many of their comments it's really obvious that 99.9% of them didn't watch either video. Also, they truly do not understand how obsessed they are. I will now never look at their mess of a subreddit again.
I used to work with a person who had a hater mindset like this. I could have swore we were cool at one point, but then one day she just decided to spread a nasty rumor about me that could have gotten me fired if I didn’t hear about it from someone I was actually friends with. I don’t know if random combustion is real, but I was about to find out in that moment. I eventually had to leave with no notice because management wasn’t helping at all :))
I hope you were able to find a better role at a better company. And that your hater stepped on a tack
Snarkers need to be studied.
I agree
Honestly tho
It's pretty simple, it's fun to hate and gossip. Some people just take it too far
@@SuperNuclearUnicornIt goes beyond that. They've created an echo chamber of hatred towards one person, which doesn't bring any positive emotions, so it can't possibly be "for fun".
how dare RUclips hide this from me for 14 seconds
can these comments die
Stop
"I will try to achieve less for you" 😂😂 I love D'Angelo
The way they’re on the sub saying “omg he’s so obsessed” like pls y’all look in the MIRROR
Thank you D'Angelo for stirring up some high quality low-stakes drama, we love to see it!
Honestly, the fact that you make videos about whatever you feel like-and try to keep a balance between serious and lighthearted topics-is what makes your channel so interesting. Every time I get the notification that you’ve posted a new video, I’m interested to see what topic you’ve chosen and what your take is on it.
Same.
Wait, I´m not too much into the taylorverse either, but didn´t the Vienna concert mentioned at 18:11 cancelled because of a bomb threat? Do they think that was Taylor´s fault too?
Of course not! But she didn‘t put out a statement about it fast enough, so she‘s just as bad as those would-be terrorists 😡 /s
they're not talking about that. they're talking about TS not saying anything and swifities attacking people for being upset their concert for cancelled
@@Kat-qk5ob Are you serious what the hell is wrong with you. Just cause you made that comment I hope she never goes to Vienna again.
„/s“ denotes that everything before that was sarcastic, so I „end“ the sarcasm. Sarcasm means that I say the exact opposite of what I mean, in this case in a humorous manner.
But for what it‘s worth, I also hope she never returns to Vienna 😂 her concerts in europe were pandemonium (that means chaotic in this context)
@Jess-y7c it was sarcasm?
I am a swiftie and the question i ask myself is: why people need to make up stories when you have a lot of real reasons to criticize her? Shes a billionaire, she uses her jet to go to the kitchen, she dated Matty of all people. Being a fan is not being blind. And most Taylor haters know more about her than me, and i'm a fan for more than 10 years. They are unhinged, its the only explanation.
And not to use whataboitism but she's not even in the top jet user 😭
They all just wanna hate on her so they run to twitter and just take whatever talking point no matter how wrong
And in the end they make it hard even for us fans to criticize her bc they made criticizing seem so irrational for everyone
yes 😭 as an ex-swiftie there is plenty of things you could criticize her on, but they just make everyone who dislikes her look completely unhinged
She also didnt speak up about Palestine... ONCE. But im not spending my whole day ranting against her
@@anisa2273 and isn’t she friends w/ a Palestinian super-model or something?
@@KeithLOONAtic yeah and her jet actually gets rented to others all the time like transportation stuff so there's that. She isn't even personally using it most of the time. The criticism around it is pretty stupid actually.
Just gonna say. I LOVE your deep dive comment. But I'm loving getting to hear your thoughts on more light things. You've done such an amazing job in normalizing nuanced conversations, even on silly banal things. You keep making, I'll keep watching!
It's crazy how they seem to think the main point of your video (and this response) is "this subreddit is mean" when the actual point is "this subreddit is weird"
LOL, you try to say something neutral even there and you'll be downvoted. That's a sign that they really are stans, just the other side of the coin.
Now I want to test this. I need to think of the most neutral thing possible and post it over there.
@@aimeeinkling"nice outfit" on a random swift video
@@aimeeinklingpick any thing they’re mad about at the moment and just say “Honestly, I personally don’t think it’s a big deal.”
ALSO NONE OF THEM WATCHED THE VIDEO??? HELPPPPPPPP
I feel like “unhinged” isn’t a strong enough term. It can be used endearingly and some people act like it’s just “quirky.” No, these people are miserable nutjobs.
The fact that they don’t realize THEIR behavior is problematic is the saddest irony if ever I’ve seen irony
I just checked the subreddit and omg- it’s so obvious they watched like 30 seconds of the video bc so much of what they’re complaining about is stuff that is literally plainly stated in the video. they totally missed the point 😭😭
“I post 30 videos a month” and keep it my boy lovin the hustle you killin the game!!!!
personally i love hearing d'angello yap everyday. he should keep his low effort commentary videos rolling
@Flooreenciia28 same, i watch them on my lunch breaks, and i feel like im having a conversation with a buddy
I'm so glad he's on RUclips and having fun doing it.
I treasure them ❤
i used to be part of that subreddit. then left because it quickly devolved into people just being insane and batshit. whenever they come suggested on my dash again i’m SCARED LOL im not even a taylor swift fan but bro they are not grounded in reality😭 ive been waiting for someone to clock them and im glad it was you lol i knew they would be scrambling
ironic that the things this sub is mad about d'angelo supposedly did to them---nitpicking, pulling things out of context, jumping to conclusions, calling them names, acting morally superior, etc.---is exactly what they do to taylor swift all the time. it's not so nice when other people do it to you is it?
this exactly. the lack of self awarness is honestly amusing yet sad to see too. I never understood what people meant with touch grass... but now I get it and they should go outside for once please 😭😂
most online groups, but especially subreddits, that focus on something negative tend to fly off the deep end in fascinating ways but there's something almost riveting about watching a group like this see themselves in the mirror for even a second.
hope at least a few of these folks go outside, maybe pet a dog, find a hobby that doesn't involve getting angry about how some rich lady hugs her rich boyfriend.
This is deeply entertaining as someone who is never beating the Swiftie allegations but also knows Tsylor Swift is just a flawed person within a flawed system like all of us (plus a billion or so dollars). We all have music and people we dislike and that's fine! But one thing I cannot imagine is how miserable I'd have to be to build an entire community around hating something or someone. You hit the nail on the head with this just being the other side of parasociality.
When everybody praises her on social media no matter what, there should be a snark space too, right?
@novamoin246 A subreddit criticizing her isn't a wrong thing. Just because she is rich and famous it doesn't mean her boot soles taste good. Everybody praises her and nobody can criticize her.
