Taylor Swift called out Netflix for the 'deeply sexist joke' about her dating life in its new show 'Ginny and Georgia.'

Gilmore Girls

-esque dramedy about a teenager and her young mom was released on the streaming platform in late February. In one episode, a character comments, “What do you care? You go through men faster than Taylor Swift.” The dig at Swift set fans off over the weekend; they trended “RESPECT TAYLOR SWIFT” on Twitter in light of the line. Fans also pointed out a similarly misogynistic comment from, which also streams on Netflix: “Taylor Swift made an entire career off of her exes,” a character said.

Hey Ginny & Georgia, 2010 called and it wants its lazy, deeply sexist joke back. How about we stop degrading hard working women by defining this horse shit as FuNnY. Also,

Leftist celebrity: I am the only one can make a joke, the others are either racist or sexist.

romaricharlz Her entire discography is about her exes I don’t know why is she now acting like a victim again

As she should. Proud of you tay

The whole show needs to just be reversed and never exist? Can that be done thanks

It's not a joke if it's sexist, racist or xenophobic. Not a joke if it hurts someone or harms someone. When people finally realise that the world is actually going to be a better place to live in.

Winston Churchill said it best: 'The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it, ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is.'

She is playing the victim card again she needs a sense of humor all her songs are about break ups and bad blood with other celebrities yet she doesn’t get sued

Beta!

Taylor needs to watch the show. The episode the line - which wasn't intended as a joke - features in, is deliberately highlighting the problems with misogyny. The character who says the line even immediately regrets it. Context is an amazing resource.

The joke was not funny. I don’t think the show, its writers or Netflix should be canceled. But I think netflix should at least RESPOND to taylorswift13 and apologize publicly. I think that’s fair.

Good for her.

Go Taylor!

AS SHE SHOULD

Lemme check real quick to see whether I care about Taylor Swift’s hurt feelings. Nope!

Slut shaming? In this economy?

She brought her dating life into the public domain with her graphic lyrics. So you will have to deal with the positives that gave you and the negatives. You can't and shouldn't have it both ways

RESPECT WOMEN. RESPECT TAYLOR SWIFT

WE LOVE YOU TAYLOR WE LOVE YOU TAYLOR WE LOVE YOU TAYLOR WE LOVE YOU TAYLOR

Oh get a grip it's a joke

Blue Ribbon...

All the bothered men commenting are proof that men are a disease. Seek help luvs

Why don’t the bf’s stick? taylorswift13 just called attention to a line the majority of people would have never known about! NOW they do! Silly TaylorSwift TaylorsVersion TaylorSwiftWeLoveYou TaylorSwiftIsOverParty Perhaps a investigative piece is in motion?

so insensitive on the side of netflop

And while this is all happening, her fan base is showing their true colors.

Grow up Taylor. Jesus Christ people are so damn sensitive and obsessed with being some sort of victim these days. It’s extremely irritating. And maybe call out the writer of the show instead of Netflix. Our content has been watered down enough with all this PC nonsense.

Ah who cares. Lighten up America. Jesus .

Fictional TV characters can be assholes, get over it.

Go Off Queen

Put your antenna down and enjoy your life lady.

But sexualizing oneself to milk money out of impressionable young girls is totally acceptable

🙄🙄

I apologise for dropping this here but if anyone sees this please donate or retweet thank you!

Im gonna take a shot in the dark that those up in arms about this in the comments may not be experts in jokes or funny.

I love women who get railed by men

It was a joke and she put her love life front and center. You can't complain about people talking about how many guys you've dated when that's pretty much all you talk about.

Lol someone’s a bit salty

Thanks for telling us it’s about her. I won’t waste my time watching that.

Lazy writing exactly! And so not funny.

Alexa, play THE MAN

When you don't like a joke or critique, just play the sexism/racism/etc. card.

yannispappas

Amen taylorswift13 👏👏👏 have Miss Americana and Free Britney taught us nothing? Side note, for season 2, can they just make the show about Georgia, Ellen, and the other adults bc the high school students made me cringe 👀 💔 it was so uncomfortable eek netflix

Taylor said hold on, let me end this rn taylorswift13 💪🏼 WE LOVE YOU TAYLOR

SwiftKath01 The men in the replies mad that women won't deal with their sexism anymore lol

As she should Respect Taylor Swift.

Hey. Next time, get her the script like Kanye did with lyrics. As long as it's approved by her, it's not misogyny, it's empowerment. Except is it? Personally, don't like Ginny, Georgia, Taylor nor swift.

as she should, queen

It is a joke get over it taylor

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

The amount of triggered men is what's funny to me. We all know you dont value respecting women. But dont hide it

YES !!!!

not the men in the replies speaking stfu RESPECT TAYLOR SWIFT RESPECT TAYLOR SWIFT RESPECT TAYLOR SWIFT RESPECT TAYLOR SWIFT RESPECT TAYLOR SWIFT RESPECT TAYLOR SWIFT

As she should respecttaylorswift

1989DOROTHEAA If you are a man you don’t get the right to say if this is insulting to her or to any other woman who has faced criticism regarding their love life

Don’t you dare to miss with her! netflix

quitale las comillas 🙄

When will she call out her fandom? Never wbk

as she should

YES RESPECT TAYLOR SWIFT

Guess who’s playing the “it was a joke card” again in the comments section. Are we even surprised?

RESPECT TAYLOR SWIFT RESPECT TAYLOR SWIFT RESPECT TAYLOR SWIFT RESPECT TAYLOR SWIFT RESPECT TAYLOR SWIFT RESPECT TAYLOR SWIFT RESPECT TAYLOR SWIFT RESPECT TAYLOR SWIFT RESPECT TAYLOR SWIFT RESPECT TAYLOR SWIFT RESPECT TAYLOR SWIFT RESPECT TAYLOR SWIFT RESPECT TAYLOR SWIFT

RESPECT TAYLOR SWIFT

I love how all 'men' are pressed here in comment section 😂😂💅

clovdamiel As she should! people calling it a joke doesn’t have brain cells

As she should

people say “it’s just a joke”, but these kind of jokes are only made about women, never about men. and why are people surprised that taylor called them out lmao, if a tv show was slut shaming you you’d be pretty upset

It was only a joke. People are easily triggered these days and make a fuss about anything. Political correctness at its finest I reckon. Soon we can't say anything without offending someone.

I’ve heard that joke many a time from stand-up monologs to sit-coms. It’s funny, because it’s true. For awhile she did have many suitors that she herself wrote songs about, it’s public knowledge The main thing, it’s just a joke, & when you’re a public figure, it happens.

As she should! netflix better apologize to her

As she should

I do not want to see sexist trolls in the comments. I will hex you.

her power🔥 GO OFF QUEEN RESPECT TAYLOR SWIFT

Omg the amount of pressed men here

RESPECT TAYLOR SWIFT RESPECT TAYLOR SWIFT RESPECT TAYLOR SWIFT

She is so sensitive. Omg. Someone better tell her to not re-record better than revenge

The triggered men in the comment section 💀

Queen ended them

She’s obviously never watched Will and Grace.

geminixrat96 the men defending the show in the comments😂 get an upper lip ig?

So wouldn’t it make more sense to call out the writer of the episode? Pretty sure they have credits...

Hey taylorswift13, you know that all publicity is good publicity for Netflix, don’t you? They should send you a gift basket for this tweet!

RESPECT TAYLOR SWIFT netflix

deswiffers Hey Ginny & Georgia, 2010 called and it wants its lazy, deeply sexist joke back. How about we stop degrading hard working women by defining this horse shit as FuNnY. Also, netflix after Miss Americana this outfit doesn’t look cute on you Imma spamming

How is this sexist? May be a bad joke, may even be hurtful.. but it is not sexist just because it was about a woman! Get a grip on what expressions mean before you throw them around going oweeee! 😫

As she should! respecttaylorswift

Get a sense of humor!

Alexa play the Man

Taylor Swift should look up the definition of joke

I don't know anything about Ginny and Jimmy or whatever, so I won't comment on that joke. However, this shit will never not be funny to me:

RESPECT TAYLOR SWIFT RESPECT TAYLOR SWIFT RESPECT TAYLOR SWIFT RESPECT TAYLOR SWIFT RESPECT TAYLOR SWIFT RESPECT TAYLOR SWIFT RESPECT TAYLOR SWIFT RESPECT TAYLOR SWIFT RESPECT TAYLOR SWIFT RESPECT TAYLOR SWIFT RESPECT TAYLOR SWIFT RESPECT TAYLOR SWIFT

Netflix owes an apology

Two white women write the show tho lol

It was also just an incredibly lazy joke. Utterly unfunny.
