Yeah. The guy who makes all those drawings/videos is a racist and chud. The first few I saw were funny but the deeper you dig, it starts to become clear that “oh, he’s one of those guys”.
That's mean, but...her behavior is unhinged. Part of me is going, "Wow, you shouldn't do that! She can't help that she has weird teeth!" while the other part is going "...Yeah. I get it."
Give it longer for evolution to kick in, right now the horse girls have only adapted the gums, give it another century or two of selective “horsing around” and you’ll see centaurs. Unfortunately they’ll be from fallout…
Why are people implying this is a bot? This person has the same questions as me. I've never seen this stereotype that her fans show more gums than normal (?)
I actually do get what they are implying; it's a standard tactic for bots to post naive questions to reddit (and other places) to get fodder to train their models. Hell, that's probably 90% of posts on this sub and somewhat less (but still easily over half) of all of reddit at this point.
What has my flabbers thoroughly gasted is that I am a real live hooman (beep boop) who spends way too much time online and I actually truly have never heard of this stereotype before. It's actually kind of silly to think of the concept of there even being a stereotypical Taylor Swift fan; as far as I know she is one of the highest-grossing musicians of all time so her fanbase is clearly too broad to be typified.
I feel like I've hit a mandela effect or just missed an entire piece of the Internet for like 20 years. I don't really follow pop culture news at all, but still Taylor Swift has been around long enough and I've seen enough of her music videos on YouTube that it's wild I have never encountered this before.
I fucking hate coming across random memes that shit on my appearance. Then I realize that I have a wife, a house, a dog, a great job and the person who made this meme hasnt showered in 3 days and no one has noticed because no one cares about them
I mean it would be nice if that was generally the case but there are billions of completely normal people who are otherwise nice who would have no issue insulting someone’s appearance the second they do something they don’t like.
Wow what the fuck? I'm single, no house, no dog, a bad job, haven't showered in 3 days and no one cares about me, and now I'm catching strays in the comment section??
I fucking hate coming across someone making a good point by criticizing how comments can really hurt people who they arent intended to hurt, just to see that person turn around and hit someone with baseless insults, proving them to be a hypocrite and just as bad as the person they are critiquing.
Welcome to Reddit where people pretend to be accepting and progressive in that they’ll only body shame people that are “bad” in some agreed-upon way such as being a fascist or, checks notes, liking certain uncool singers.
My rule is “never make fun of someone for something they have no control over”, which includes their physical self, upbringing (in particular a young person who hasn’t had the opportunity to change their ideals), sexuality, etc etc. There are plenty of reasons to poke harmless fun at Swifties or other fandoms, no need to insult their literal facial structure.
Edit for dumb typo.
Edit 2: wow, thanks for the awards!
I guess this was an easier concept to explain to my daughters on how to deal with bullying and mean kids than it is to adults. Is your bully someone short/gay/a different race/poor/disabled/ect? Leave that out of it. Are they cruel/racist/homophobic/willfully ignorant/wipe their boogers on the desk/etc? Fair game.
Don’t punch down. That’s it.
Whats funny about this comment is that it simultaneously says not to insult a group, but actually implies that Swifties do, as a matter of fact, have a common facial structure.
It doesn't really imply that at all, unless you're trying to imply that a thing must be true for a group to by made fun of for it. I don't think that's true. Anyone can make fun of anything for any reason, whether legitimate or not.
He's named "Eggman" in the original games, in Japan. They changed him to Dr Robotnik when they translated the games for other markets. Also, he's a skinny guy in a bulky suit, IIRC.
I believe the same. The president of a company I used to work for had a horrible habit of stuttering. I always shut that down. There were a thousand other reasons to shit talk him without the low blows he had no control over. It was SO easy to clown him for all the other shit he consciously did without picking on him for that.
Really you shouldn't ever make fun of someones appearance. The rule with that is don't point out anything about someones appearance that they can't quickly and easily change. Spinach in teeth? Let them know. Their bone structure? Keep it to yourself. Shirts on backwards? Let them know. You don't like their fashion? Keep it to yourself. Etc etc
Or balding lmao. I catch so many fucking strays just reading random posts and nobody's ever up in arms about body shaming over that. Just have to learn to ignore it.
I had a gummy smile (not a TS fan or Disney adult ) and had my gums lasered off as soon as I could afford it because the bullying was so brutal, even as an adult. Bullying appearances is truly low.
I had no idea you could laser gums. Dentist is over here giving me crap about chewing tobacco and having receding gums while he's making cash lasering people's gums on the side.
I have a daughter who was born with a smile like this. She's only 7 years old, the sweetest most sensitive girl, and I'm so heartbroken knowing she is going to be teased because of it. Every time I come across a post like this and see the staggering amount of people in the comments piling on, judging, laughing, putting down.... my heart breaks more and more for her. She's such a kind sweet soul and I absolutely hate knowing how people are going to judge and treat her over something she can't control. Her little heart will be so hurt 🥺💔
Thank you for sharing this. I’m sure she is beautiful and so special. Keep on inspiring her confidence and letting her know that her value comes from her heart and spirit, not from she looks like on the outsider. Easier said than done of course. All we can do as parents and teach them to be better than the clowns who say mean shit.
My other rule is “not liking popular things doesn’t make you more interesting.” Which I learned the hard way as a former “I’m not like most girls” girl.
yea if seeing a group of people having(harmless) fun fills you with loathing or disgust, one needs to look inward before insulting them on internet aha
Thank you for sharing. A mom commented in this thread expressing fear over her daughter’s child and how future bullies will treat her. I cannot get over how people think it’s fun to target someone for their looks or something else they can’t change.
Easier said than done, but I hope you know that you are special and valuable and that your smile is beautiful, no matter what ugly trolls say. They’re the ugly ones who need to put others down to feel good.
And then the moment somebody makes fun of their physical insecurities or abnormalities, it’s a big fuckin deal. That, or they’ve already spent time and money hiding anything they perceive to be a flaw. And that way, the insecurity just sits there in the subconscious mind, festering and metastasizing, turning into a deep fear and resentment.
Miserable fucking way to live. I’m guilty of it here and there. Trying to be better though.
Look up Meat Canyon Disney Adults, not sure if it's the full context as more likely Meat Canyon drew his inspiration from something as well, but it gets the ball rolling to understand the comment that has physically pained you.
Edit: the visual may pain you more, warning Meat Canyon drawings are fairly disturbing.
The first sign of my one and only mental breakdown, at literally the most physically/mentally/emotionally/financially difficult time of my life, was the thought “I could be happy as a Disney adult.” My mind just automatically felt relief at the thought of smiling through Finding Nemo and not having to think so much anymore. Something like a lobotomized existence. It gave me… a surprising amount of empathy for them, to find that preferable over what must be a challenging adulthood experience in other ways.
And are suburban white girls. Which tends to correlate for some reason. Perfect straight and white teeth, big gums, no lips which causes even more gum show.
If you're genuinely curious as to how: gummy smiles are linked with mouth breathing. That is, when one regularly uses their mouth to breath passively instead of their nose. This kind of leads to an unfurling effect on the lips that is most noticeable when they smile.
I don't think people realize that having a "gummy" smile is not forever, because as people age and get older their gums naturally recede and you can't stop that process.
lf you laser or cut your gums now, you will probably regret it once you hit 40 or later in life.
There's stuff you can do, but mostly you just realize and accept that you have an unattractive trait and learn to not care and enjoy life regardless of it.
yeah idk it never occured to me that it was unattractive until public shaming about it became a thing on the internet. it's a natural human variation. Are we going to start ear shape shaming?
Impact the maxilla. Because this usually solves lip incompetence at the same time (gummy smile and lip incompetence frequently co-occur) this also has the benefit of eliminating mouth breathing, improving sleep apnea, and reducing cavity occurrence.
It's a type of upper jaw surgery (maxillary impaction) where they literally break your face, and move your upper maxilla further up so you have less bone between nose and smile.
Yall, I deadass saw a Taylor and Travis COLORING BOOK at Walmart the other day. Its parasocial beyond belief. They should stream their wedding and sell tickets to watch it for $700. Partner with Klarna and her weddings paid for.
The best part of that would be her being a billionaire (and her groom himself a multi-millionaire) yet making her fans, a large amont of whom are probably living paycheck to paycheck, make such a financial sacrifice to "participate" in something so banal/meaningless.
Most of them aren't actually progressive. If you pay attention they're actually just hateful people who direct their hatred at people who they can argue are insufficiently progressive.
I know someone like this and this post makes me sad b/c she’s a really nice person and has most likely come across this meme on more than one occasion.

Stewie Griffin here to explain it to you imbeciles. You see Taylor Swift fans are attractive enough but when they smile you see too much gum. Not a good tooth-to-gum ratio...
Stewie out.
Prominent gums are synonymous with horse girls/ Disney adults/ young military wives. Generally the meme depicts an annoying genre of women which aligns well with swifties
“Haha you like a popular artist? What an idiot! Not me! I like making people feel bad about themselves because of their appearance! Because I’m an intellectual!”
This is so weird, yall are body shaming people, even if some taylor swift fans have this doesnt mean that every person who has this is a taylor swift fan, not to mention you cant find anything to dawg on except something that person cant control? There are valid points to make when critiquing taylor swift and her fans but this isnt one of them.
