Ruby Rose defends Taylor Swift in opposition to “MAGA” accusations

“As someone who has spent many nights discussing the world, social injustice and life, with The Show Girl herself. I refuse to say her name in the same sentence as the hate group, Wackadoodles, are conspiring to attach her to. But what I will say is this,” Ruby Rose posted on Threads. 

“Given her public position against Trump, and his against her. If you are falling for the propaganda ‘Trad wife’ ‘X,y,z’ claims, you are most definitely walking into the biggest man made, rage bait, black hole. Stop it,” the actress continued. “It’s not true, and it’s incredibly stupid. It’s also embarrassing and hurtful to see energy put into this. Keep that energy and let’s take it where it’s necessary and needed.”

Everyone claims she’s some lyrical mastermind yet when BIPOC women call that shit out, suddenly it’s ‘no that’s not what she meant!’ Gimme a break. 🙄” On the opposite aspect of that argument, @black_j1nx added, “Im confused about the ‘black people saying shes racist’ because not only have i only seen black women saying theres nothing wrong with the lyrics, I AM a black woman who sees absolutely nothing wrong. Stop speaking over us for the love of all that is holy😭”

A extra blended take got here from @quotethedreamer, who wrote: “I mean she’s not evil like most billionaires, but she is 100% not for the working class and she is blind to what the rest of the world is going through.”
