      Implicitly includes Taylor though, she’s not off the hook

      Just all the others are also on the hook now

        Sure it does, but we should ask why she became the meme and not any of the other billionaires, who are overwhelmingly white men.

        It’s like when I pointed out to my kid that the Karen meme is pretty sexist, they pointed out that there’s also Ken. And I asked them, in all the meme compilations they watch, how many Kens are there for every ten Karens? They said, “maybe 2 or 3.” I pointed out that that imbalance is the problem, and they were like, “oooohh yeah.”

        A 10 year old gets this when it’s explained to them simply. Anyone who pretends they don’t get this is covering for something they don’t want to admit.

      I didn’t make that meme myself but I debated changing it to something Taylor Swift related for a moment, but then I thought that horse was pretty much dead already so I just left it as it is. She’s certainly not the only one doing this sort of stuff.
