The context is literally a picture of a plane, the words “Taylor Swift”, and people keep upvoting them so people keep making more.

I see what you’re saying, and to a point I agree. I see it as people reading it a certain way in their head and becoming attached to how they think it should sound. This happens often because English words especially can have all manner of exceptions to the usual rules of spelling and grammar. There is nothing embarrassing about reading, or at least there shouldn’t be. What I DO find embarrassing is when people find out that they’re pronouncing something differently and flat out disagree with the world about its actual pronounciation.

What did the creator of the GIF name them? Imagine if a bunch of people read your name wrong, then when you told them how it’s pronounced said that they don’t care, and your mom was wrong to pronounce your name that way.

People are using his likeness to gain attention and probably money. They could go and record those jokes and rants themselves but nobody would be interested in listening.

You might be giving them too much credit for thinking about what they’re doing.

It was an ethics board and he showed everyone it was a sham.

Maybe a big family vacation being a little cheaper for this poster is still a lesser priority to people having homes to own? We can just focus on the part where they want things cheaper for just them and not the makeup of the family.

Sounds pretty spooky.
