So we're just going to pretend this is only about Taylor Swift, are we? Makes the jokes easier, I guess.

The subject being Taylor Swift just made the issue more visible than normal. It's not specifically about being upset it happened to her.

The press secretary literally said it was about women in general being the targets of abuse. All that happened here was that this got the attention of more people than normal, so the white house used that opportunity to make a statement on it.

The fact that a celebrity was the line being crossed is a symptom of a major societal sickness.

There was an incident where a high school girl had ai porn of her passed around the school. It made national news. That wouldve been good enough, but no, Taylor swift is when we make a stand.
