I think we need to end the era of waifuism - not only does it put the focus on sexual attraction rather than music, but it also pits everyone here against 3/4 of the other users.
You can break up every pop star into 4 groups: people whose music you like and whom you're attracted to (A), people you're a fan of but are not attracted to (B), people whose music you don't like, but you find attractive (C), and people you're neither attracted to nor a fan of (D).
There's a tendency for people to attack people in their D group, and get butthurt when their A group is criticized. That's the most volatile, but even more problematic is when you comment on your B group that you like their music but don't find them attractive - strangely, fans get more offended by this criticism than C - that you're attracted but not a fan. In fact, the A-C pairing is the least volatile - usually people just recommend things for you to listen to. This demonstrates people actually care more that you have the same taste in women than they do that you agree with them on music.
Example:
A) Marina Diamandis, Fiona Apple, MIA, Regina Spektor
B) Björk, Tegan & Sara
C) Annie Clark, Lil Debbie
D) Grimes, Alice Glass, Charli XCX
If I see Grimes, I might insult her. Maybe I'd say she looks gross, her music is shitty tween pop with quirky sounds thrown in, and everything she says is retarded. Any people who feel A about her will go into a panic. People who feel B about her will also attack. I'm not convinced anybody feels C about her.
If I mention that I think Björk is incredible, but I'm not attracted, people will call me a "fag" and insult my taste in women, and will be so asspained they'll baselessly accuse me of things.
If I mention that I think Annie Clark is gorgeous, but I'm not a fan of her music, people will feel validated and recommend me albums to check out.
