she is constantly supporting social and political issues but because she doesn't tweet about it. It discredit everything she has done. What kind of logic is that

Let’s review what happened, and please correct me if I’m wrong.
Taylor drama happens and Selena defends her by saying:
There are more important things to talk about... Why can't people use their voice for something that ****ing matters?
To which someone replies:
Good question! Why haven't you or Taylor not said a thing about #BlackLivesMatter or police brutality?
And she comes back with:
oh lol so that means if I hashtag something I save lives? No -I could give two ****s about ‘sides’. You don’t know what I do.
Now let’s see here. Yes, she responded in anger. But is that really the excuse we are going with here? The one time she speaks out on BLM in anger, is the anger she feels when someone comes for her? Really? I suppose it would have been too hard to speak about what she is currently doing for social and political issues rather than imply the exact opposite - that she does not care about social issues and instead is more worried about how people are talking about Taylor Swift in a way she doesn’t like.
And lastly, she did not need to retweet the hashtag to show support. There are other ways too. And yes, supporting Black Lives Matter may save lives when you are a celebrity with the influence that she has.
