#TikTok is a cesspool

[gumgumchomp]

god. tmes are more upset about the man in a dress jokes being removed than the entire movie being an advertisement for native people to put their children in the custody of the state and for disneys resort in hawaii or the anti colonial and tourism messaging being completely removed. because of course they are

New take from the httyd fandom on tiktok but: If you verbally thirst over Hiccup at all you're a "freak" and "disgusting"

Having crushes is banned guys, pack it up and go home

[jimaxjamiejoanjimangelo]

ya know,

liking a conventionally attractive character while you’re on the aro/ace spec is a very cool and interesting experience bc everyone is making thirst trap edits and humping their phones (you know the ones) while you’re just thinking about what they’d make for breakfast.

It’s an experience that is both weirdly validating of one’s sexuality (yes, these thirst traps make me uncomfortable) and also very invalidating (why do I like him, do I like him bc he has abs or bc he’s funny and pathetic) I could 100% be alone in this, everyone experiences a character differently, I just thought it was neat.

(I view this as more funny then anything I don’t take ppl who can’t spell Stefan or even Elena’s name seriously) Ppl who think like this make me question if we watched the same show. Like yall be watching this show with your eyes closed. Idgaf if you think damon is hot he'd kill you because of elena

genuinely i am going to say this once only because it’s the middle of the night but the level of tiktok hating i’ve seen on this app pisses me off so so so badly. you are not better than anyone else for not having tiktok downloaded, you are not smarter, you are not “more evolved.” tiktok is used by such a wide variety of people and of course there is low intelligence and empathy present on there, there is low intelligence and empathy EVERYWHERE. including here. there are also some of the kindest, most intelligent, most hopeful people i’ve ever seen. i do experience extremely low lows and high highs while scrolling tiktok because it is an insane range of content—it shows you pretty much everything you could ever imagine out of the range of human experience. i’ve seen a man who spent his life savings to buy out land and provide free housing for people. i’ve seen a woman document her journey to learn english and receive nothing but unconditional support and positivity. i’ve seen dogs learn how to “speak” and new mothers speaking openly about their depression and women encouraging each other to leave their abusive spouses. i have learned SO much in the last few years that i never learned in school. i guess really what i’m saying is that i don’t love the app itself so much as the power of human community, and it’s genuinely really upsetting and disheartening to see people continually shit on a platform that has done so much good for so many. it really does connect a lot of us to the world in a way that’s not comparably possible on any other app (yes, including this one), and i personally will be extremely upset if it really does get banned. not to mention how nobody should be championing government banning of any app, regardless of if you like it or not. just genuinely. can we cool it with the pretentiousness for a day or two. that is all i fucking want

YALL THIS IS MAKING ME SCREAM LMFAOOO

You can't sexualize a fictional character, sexualization denotes the dehumanization of a person, the objectification of an autonomous being.

You can't objectify a fictional person, because they ARE an object. They have no autonomy. They are not real.

Being uncomfortable with the way fandom spaces are built on the backs of smut writers and artists is fine, you are allowed to be uncomfortable about situations that you find vexing.

Treating real people like they're freaks for treating an object like an object is actually delusional. YOU ARE NOT GOING TO GET A MEDAL FOR BEING THE PUREST PERVERT.

Thanks for coming to my TEDtalk, bye.

Omg we’re actually gonna ban TikTok?? Thank fucking GOD

Now can we pls focus on nuking Twitter into oblivion and sending Elon Musk into the middle of the ocean on a raft

Saw some discourse on tiktok that was along the lines of "mating bonds are so special hence breaking it would be a social dilemma for Elain and hence forbidden relationship"

And that made me realise how far people have come from the canon plot in these 4 years.

Canonical Rhys told us how Mating bonds can be broken and have been broken before, it's just that the male mates who suffer and might even go mad. But it's not a social situation😭😭 and the blood duel is only an autumn court tradition and the Night court has Outlawed it.

That means females are free to break bonds here and have before, Elain will literally be supported by EVERYONE if she chooses to reject it INCLUDING HER MATE Lucien, mating bonds isn't a social dilemma like wing clipping or the treatment of females in Illyria. Why are they trying to make up issues that aren't even real. SJM has shown us how rejecting bonds is okay but still Elain doesn't reject it.

There is yearning and tension in elucien and these guys still out here creating headcanon plots and fighting tooth and nail to show them as canon but will ignore and disregard any canon plot.

ladstwt is the absolute most miserable, insufferable and braindead place ive ever seen

[crosswire]

I have a suspicion that there are a lot of people out there (on tiktok especially) pretending to like Perverts for the sake of shitting on fans who didn't like it, attempting to clout themselves up and be in with the "cool" daughters, and it's created this cesspool of cainiac/cainiac-adjacent discourse that really means nothing except that you care more about being popular than appreciating art.

I really hate how some yellowjackets fans try to defend no one trying to bring Jackie back inside. Like do I think they thought it was going to snow and kill her? No, but do I think they willingly let her sleep out there knowing there were vicious wild animals and how they wouldn’t have let anyone else stay out there? Well yes I do…. Because we already see that within the first few episodes when no one would let Lottie sleep outside. Like of course not one person is DIRECTLY responsible for what happened but they all had a hand in putting her in danger.
