Editor resigns after anti-Swift tweets resurface
Felix editor Juby Roy has been forced to resign after a background check of her online footprint. AlisonsCardigan13, a full-time Stan Twitter moderator, 22 Hat Winner, with a bachelor’s degree in English Literature with Folklore conducted the investigation, resurfacing the six-year-old anti-Swift tweets on Tuesday morning. The backlash since then has been inescapable, and Roy went off the grid and into hiding for thirteen hours.
“I wish I had just been cancelled for something forgivable like slurs or homophobia,” Roy stated on Wednesday morning. “When my ex-boyfriend applied for finance jobs, he was worried about some old racist tweets from when he was thirteen, but it actually diversified his application, and now he’s a partner. But I understand this is different; there’s no backing out of this one.”
Some of the viral tweets include:
“I bet Taylor Swift thinks that T.S. Eliot stands for Taylor Swift Eliot and his entire career is an easter egg to The Tortured Poets Department.”
“Bought the Matty Healy’s semen coloured vinyl variant today #Capitaylor”.
“That blonde lady thinks that William Golding was writing about her private jet pastimes when he wrote Lord of the Flies.”
Fans across the globe, and Imperial’s own SwiftSoc, have gathered together to support Miss Swift in this hard time by starting a GoFundMe for the 34-year-old billionaire. However, industry insiders suspect that this controversy during the rollout of her eighth album in the last four years may boost Grammy odds. Although Taylor herself has not yet made a statement, many believe there may be a new digital album variant including her response as a bonus track.
One fan, Everwhore, says “we can’t really be surprised, it’s so difficult to be a Swiftie these days. I’ve been dealing with the oppression for over ten years now. All Taylor has left to claim back is her Name and her Reputation. Beware Juby Roy, Karma is real.”
