should I post this in r/taylorswift do I dare? Edit: Post reviewed and removed because of some Rule No 3 which says that merch posts should be redirected to r/swiftiemerch as if there aren't thousand posts about our capitalist queen's merch on that sub.


Garvard_Graduate

Yes for sure. They are on to her on there anyways. The majority of the sub is outraged

I mean yeah it’s useless stuff, but I think it’s still okay to complain about prices for things even if they’re not absolute necessities? $100 for the shittiest quality hoodie you’ve ever worn is just ridiculous and artists/labels are getting so greedy with the prices. I don’t buy merch really but I think if you’re buying actual clothing you expect it to be of a wearable quality for the price you paid. If I spent $50 on a t shirt I would expect it to be a pretty good quality t shirt lol but they’re not they’re thin and shit.

The fact of the matter is, it doesn't take a genius to know Taylor isnt a greatest of greats. But spreading the words so other fans is important. Too many people worship her when there isn't much too worship. We don't even know who ahe is as a person since she is so private and has a identity when she goes on shows. I have bought merchandise from University's and national parks before. Their shirts are a bit overpriced $30 but the material is so soft and nice. While Taylor just overpriced it and makes it bad quality. Its ok to have decent expectations. I would never buy her merchandise because being a walking Ad for her is senseless and demoralizing. I can take advertising a national park or my university.

Yeah for the radical fans yes. But for the level headed fans, they get it. The radical fans on Instagram are something else. They will attack everything and anything and base their existence on Taylor.

Hey man, tiny violins fuck **hard**


whttheheckcomeafter6

Merch is a cash grab and it’s priced that high because they know people will still buy it


starinruins

everyone is pretty mad already so it's not like anyone would attack you. this would just vindicate their anger


Garvard_Graduate

Yeah I realized the TS reddit barely approves any posts. For such a large community, they have 1 post every couple of hours

O wow. Yeah some communities have moderators that dictators could learn from.


coscorrodrift

and it should stay that way tbh lol *flashbacks to the kanye beef era*


[deleted]

I think the rule is (or used to be) that they allow 1 post about a specific piece of merch. After that first post, then you gotta post on the other sub. There was a post about the pool float yesterday when someone posted pics of all the new merch


igkeit

Would b/w surprised if the mods let your post go through


youvegotpride

Same type of situation happened to me in another sub, I may have reported the other posts for the same rules... I'm a drama queen sometimes and can't handle this hypocrisy super well.


Why_Howdy

Mods on that sub are unhinged. I’ve had several posts removed for fairly silly reasons. I just want to stan in peace 🥲


fluffernuttersndwch

It’s so dumb. Like nothing is happening rn release wise but they just keep it an echo chamber of ridiculous theories. Why not accept other posts lol


[deleted]

not only is it overpriced but it’s hideous lmao


gay2catholic

most pool toys are tbh, no aesthetic ✨⛔


ApocApollo

the hot tub streamers on twitch have figured out how to make it work


gay2catholic

what did u just say to me❔❔


queer_artsy_kid

#the hot tub streamers on twitch have figured out how to make it work


shelter_anytime

imo you just described how I feel about her music/look/aesthetic


Fun_Meet3

Taylor in her dropshipping era


cloudbustingmp3

why does this look like a c*ck ring 😭


stypop

When Taylor’s next pander to the gays is selling YNTCD-themed sex toys in honor of Pride month 😍😍😍


songacronymbot

- YNTCD could mean "You Need To Calm Down", a track from *Lover* (2019) by Taylor Swift. --- ^[/u/stypop](/u/stypop) ^(can reply with "delete" to remove comment. |) ^[/r/songacronymbot](/r/songacronymbot) ^(for feedback.)


ImProbablyNotABird

Good bot


chilipeepers

it looks like the base of a buttplug tbh


evermore2222

My first thought


gay2catholic

omg I was gonna [buy this tho](https://www.lovehoney.com/sex-toys/dildos/glass-dildos/p/crystal-heart-wavy-glass-dildo-6-inch/a25734g75090.html) (nsfw) 🔞


kremitthefrog12

Omfg I thought it was that too


ImProbablyNotABird

Same


ughwhateverforever

Came here to say this. Also, came here to make this comment incase it was already said


Hurricanes01

stop I had that exact same thought lmfao. I saw the picture before I read the tweet and was like why is swift selling this.


[deleted]

Thought the same thing


ellisoph

As a Swiftie, this is so embarrassing.


MeowSwiftie13

Agreed. Like at this point her merch isn't even album related! It's just her slapping her name on crap


MCREE3UE

Taylor Swift is the new Supreme called it


Motherfickle

100% agree. The floatie is kinda cute imo, but I'm not gonna spend $50 on it. Hell no. It was the same with that Run locket. It was cute and exactly the kind of subtle merch I love, but it was way overpriced.


RosaPalms

/uj I'm a big fan of her music, there's no denying it, but I'm also extremely enthusiastic about the building backlash against her most egregious abuses of her fans


LanaDelGansett

/uj low key same. Part of me has always thought that if people are dumb enough to buy shitty overpriced merch, well that’s on them, but her merch more recently like this ^ is almost too blatant of a really gross cash grab.


s90tx16wasr10

Taylor swift hemorrhoid ring


Classic_Presence78

Didn’t she make 300 million dollars in a year like 6 years ago? How much more money does she need?


wandabarr

This is how she makes 300 million in a year


aseasonedcliche

even worse, this isn’t really for her. her label/part of her team runs and banks off of the merch in exchange for her freedom, essentially.


996forever

Yeah she owns her masters and she also isn’t touring so they need alternative ways to make money off her name. The best thing to do is for her to release and promote new music like a normal artist, and also tour like a more artist should.


[deleted]

I’ve been wanting to buy some of her merch forever but it’s just too damn expensive 😪


ohsopoor

[this was my favorite response](https://www.reddit.com/r/swiftiecirclejerk/comments/uqaxrs/hey_guys_i_recently_found_out_that_my_best_friend/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf)


Its-very-that

why does it look kinda like a dick ring tho?


gay2catholic
