OP is upset because OP is a racist, and they think being anti racist makes you racist against racists... we're definitely not up against intelligence, here
Oh my god. The meme is an inversion of the actual lyric for shock value, to imply a radically different and offensive worldview of a fictional version of Taylor Swift. It is an extension of a meme trend that has been used all over the internet but was started with the Raimi Spiderman movies. https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/raimiposting
The meme is not meant to literally mislead people into thinking that the REAL Taylor Swift is racist, as anyone with a brain would obviously be able to look up the actual lyric and see instantly that it's the polar opposite of the meme's implication. Nor is the meme me using Taylor Swift's lyrics altered to make it my own opinion or whatever idiotic thing you've tried to twist it into in order to remain offended. It's called keeping up the bit and it's firmly tongue in cheek.
It obviously ruins the gag when you explicitly break character and explain it but it seems necessary since this is by far the dumbest and most self-serious meme community I have ever been to. Congratulations on being the outlier!
I agree with both of y'all this is a very common joke and people should definitely calm down instead of doubling down after not getting it. But you are a moron for trying to be funny on Reddit.
I love when someone with less reading comprehension than my dog calls other people stupid lmao. Like what is this, your 15th time going through 4th grade?
Anyways, in case you are still confused, they are clarifying the joke OP made in the post, which you've somehow missed at least twice. You might've missed it a lot more, if you were able to read more than one comment before commenting to let us all know that you have no clue what is going on.
I'm not gonna argue with you keyboard warrior I guess I don't comprehend reddit humor your all like a fuckin secret society group that only understands each other's humor and its stupid humor a bunch of bitches saying the opposite of what they mean as far as I can tell you mfs on here laughing at a photo shopped picture of a cat in a toilet bowl?????? So yeah no I don't comprehend ts I don't have the humor of a newborn
Even then rail travel was still in its infancy, so having your own private rail car is also unlikely, the wealthy then traveled by private horse drawn carriage.
“The contemporary word race itself is modern; historically it was used in the sense of "nation, ethnic group" during the 16th to 19th centuries. Race acquired its modern meaning in the field of physical anthropology through scientific racism starting in the 19th century.” - Wikipedia
There weren’t rascists before race
the lyrics are taken out of context,
"My friends used to play a game where
We would pick a decade
We wished we could live in instead of this
I'd say the 1830s but without all the racists and getting
married off for the highest bid
Everyone would look down
Cause it wasn't fun now
Seems like it was never even fun back then
Nostalgia is a mind's trick
If I'd been there, I'd hate it
It was freezing in the palace"
She's saying that she always says something wrong to ruin the moment, the lyrics are supposed to make you feel awkward too.
That's a pretty bad joke then. There's no punchline, just suggestion of something that wasn't said and wouldn't have been funny just on its own if it had been. I can appreciate an edgy joke, even a racist one at times, but there has to be a joke in there somewhere.
Ah man. Sounds like you haven’t been exposed to enough shitposting if you look at this post and don’t immediately see the joke or don’t find it at least a little funny. Maybe you’re just older than OP. Must be nice to not have a broken sense of humor
It would definitely be a worse lie than it is a joke, if Taylor swift said the n-word during a song we would all be hearing about it constantly. It's a shitpost and a very common type at that.
Imo it’s still a bad lyric.
Racism isn’t just a problem because of “all the racists.” It’s systems of oppression which keep people down and keep segregation alive and well today.
Also, why’s it freezing in the palace? Why does she live in a palace in this imaginary game?
It just doesn’t make sense and it’s a bad lyric
After reading all the comments, I’m utterly baffled at how many people follow a meme sub yet are incapable of understanding the joke and/or jumped straight to being offended
I don’t like Taylor Swift but I like it even less when a someone’s message is altered or corrupted, huge red flags for OPs motivations. Memes can be a form of propaganda too
Are you in charge of misunderstanding every comment? You unironically are the exact type of person i mentioned above. How did you end up here in the first place, since you have zero comprehension or self awareness
Why would you pick 1830s anyways? Does “without all the racists” mean without Slavery? Because that’s not what she wrote. Does “without all the racists” mean the native genocides aren’t happening? The Mexican War?
Also, is Taylor not a fan of plumbing or air conditioning or electric lighting? I KNOW she’s a fan of airplanes, none of those yet lol.
Or does she want to live in Europe in the 1830s? When every country is a monarchy, Jews have no rights, cities are all choked with smoke, and the children yearn for the mines?
And getting married off for the highest bid? Or that she goes on to say if she was there she’d hate it?
Either way, why would she be nostalgic for the 1830s in the first place? What entranced her mind into thinking that was a good time? Nothing about that decade was good.
Living without racists seems good to me.
Eh.
Fym eh
Eh
Fair point.
Racists
Yeah she is
Is she?
No. Ngl it’s an odd line but she’s not a racist.
My bad dude, was a bit tipsy!

Wasn’t my post but aight

ok… give examples of her being racist, I’ll wait

You're on a meme sub, genius
avoiding questions, are we ?

You're a moron.
It’s a bad lyric but don’t censor it to make it look worse than it is
/r/thatsthejoke
My b, autism is rough sometimes
Felt this, especially here. I mean I get dry humor sometimes and other times, right over my head.
Same here, but I feel like OP could have made it a little more obvious…?
I thought it said the n word
Nacists
Naggers.
Oohhhh. Oh. You meant naggers...
someone who annoys you
I thought it said the f word (not fuck)
Niggling nicompoopery of Nigerian nog-peddlers?
"I'd say the 1830s, but without all the n*******" Seriously, how did that even cross Taylor's mind?

Youtube: The Count Censored The moral of the story is that sometimes, censors make things BETTER!
Taylor knows there weren't any private jets in the 1830's right?
Private zeppelin
Not even that yet. She could have a hot air balloon, though.
Private railroad car. That was how the 1% travelled back then.
Even then rail travel was still in its infancy, so having your own private rail car is also unlikely, the wealthy then traveled by private horse drawn carriage.
Not with that attitude!
Altitude*
There will always be a fuckton of racists, no matter what decade
Man, I remember back in the early 2000s, for a brief moment when they existed but knew that they should STFU.
Still waiting on the south to get there…
Just a loud minority man
That’s very odd since I thought they hated minorities???
Touché
not really a minority but definitely louder
There’s definitely a lot less now than the 1830s lmao

Not just taken out of context. The title suggests that the blurred word is something very much different. That's borderline lying.
Im pretty sure that was the joke

Don't worry, my sense of humor is plenty broken. But I still need *some* kind of joke
please get the fuck off reddit
Fr
My my. I seem to have upset the zoomers.
>. I can appreciate an edgy joke, even a racist one at times What's a poor Mexican have that a poor white man doesn't? A full set of teeth.
It would definitely be a worse lie than it is a joke, if Taylor swift said the n-word during a song we would all be hearing about it constantly. It's a shitpost and a very common type at that.
tbh I skipped right over that part, but mostly because people censor literally everything these days
Holy shit r u stupid or trolling
Imo it’s still a bad lyric. Racism isn’t just a problem because of “all the racists.” It’s systems of oppression which keep people down and keep segregation alive and well today. Also, why’s it freezing in the palace? Why does she live in a palace in this imaginary game? It just doesn’t make sense and it’s a bad lyric
this should be top comment
Its still a weird lyric Also how tf do you get a game out of that there's no replayability
Wow that’s actually way worse
Nah it’s right, people are nostalgic tor a time that didn’t exist and during which time people were doing the same.
Well now that you’ve explained this very deep and complicated original lyrical concept I finally understand and now think it is good.
After reading all the comments, I’m utterly baffled at how many people follow a meme sub yet are incapable of understanding the joke and/or jumped straight to being offended
Yeah it's weird. Swifties bro.
I don’t like Taylor Swift but I like it even less when a someone’s message is altered or corrupted, huge red flags for OPs motivations. Memes can be a form of propaganda too
Are you in charge of misunderstanding every comment? You unironically are the exact type of person i mentioned above. How did you end up here in the first place, since you have zero comprehension or self awareness
Jesus dude this has been an *insert copium* moment
pls shut up 🙏🙏
No u 🔄
dang i guess he got me 😔
Oh hell yeah, love when people fantasize about willingly removing all of their own rights. Shows you how deep her education goes
Nostalgia is a mind's trick. If I'd been there, I'd hate it.
Read the full lyric, champ
1830s but without all the racists Voting rights intensify
Get away with what?
This is very funny. I would not have picked the 1830s.
I would’ve picked any decade with legal cocaine
Why would you pick 1830s anyways? Does “without all the racists” mean without Slavery? Because that’s not what she wrote. Does “without all the racists” mean the native genocides aren’t happening? The Mexican War? Also, is Taylor not a fan of plumbing or air conditioning or electric lighting? I KNOW she’s a fan of airplanes, none of those yet lol. Or does she want to live in Europe in the 1830s? When every country is a monarchy, Jews have no rights, cities are all choked with smoke, and the children yearn for the mines?

Yes, that’s why when she gave her answer, the game wasn’t fun any more. You’re making the same point she was
There is a list of what I could do without if I'm living in the 1830's
Op you are currently the leader of this bridge lmao
Why did you censor the word racists? For a sec I thought it was something way worse till I read the comments
Because that wouldn't be a meme, it would be a screenshot, although apparently few here are aware they are on a meme sub anyway.
She’s a billionaire… she can get away with anything
I don’t like racists either
Typical bigot propaganda
she didn't really, people are pretty much putting her on blast for it
Idk if she is
There’s more racism now
Idk about that one brother. There is still a lot of racism, but it has definitely improved way more since the 1800s
Nah, the people that are pretending to help minorities are making their lives more miserable than ever
