Currently watching the Swiftologist reaction to the "Look what we made Taylor Swift do" article and I have to stop it and say something:
TAYLOR SWIFT HAS NOT STATED NOTHING IN THE MATTERS OF HER SEXUALITY
In the first few minutes he was already spreading missinformation, saying that Taylor has, in multiple times, said that she is straight. She has never done that. This really would not bother me so much if he did not went on about how gaylors use false information for our "conspiracy theories".
Excuse me, but queerflaging and queercoding is a thing that has been going on for as long as queer people have existed. One might think that being part of our community he would know that, but apparently, he does not. This is what queer people not knowing about the history of their own community does, this is why we need conversations about flagging and queerness to be open. We should be taught about it, it is part of human history after all, an important part of it. If you doubt it, just take a look at almost every important figure on history, they were most likely queer and it affected their life and how they shaped the world. Queerflagging is part of history, not a conspiracy theory.
Talking about conspiracy theories, we could say saying she is straight is as well a conspiracy theory if we are going to say gaylor is one. I mean, she has remained unlabled about her sexuality to the public, so is only fair to assume that she could be attracted to any gender as far as we know.
Gaylors dont claim to know Taylors sexual orientation. Hetlors are the one hyperfixated on her straightness and sexuality. Gaylor reads the work of Taylor Swift through queer lenses with the propouse of relating to her music in a deeper level. Hetlors claim she is straight even if she has not say that before and punish any other idea that diverse from that even if, as far as we know, that idea could be wrong.
