#aaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh
discourse damaged zoomers will be like “stop fetishizing [xyz]” and xyz will be a literal sex act
discourse damaged zoomers will have “BLM✊” in bio but harass black women over stupid fandom bullshit
discourse damaged zoomers will see a white woman married to a Vietnamese man wearing an áo dài for lunar new year and tell her shes appropriating his culture
this is all discourse ive seen on tiktok
“tumblr was just as bad!!!” yes there was stupid discourse on tumblr. however, tiktok allegedly has 1 billion users. tumblr, in 2018, had about 32 million active users. tumblr peaked in 2014 with 100 million users. even if we assume that tiktok is lying, more people, especially young people, have access to smartphones now! Therr are way more tiktok users than there ever was on tumblr. the pile ons and callouts and harassment i see on tiktok is a lot worse than what i witnessed on tumblr. this is a concerning trend we wouldn’t completely write off because “tumblr was just as bad” or “leave minors alone!”
TikTok seems like a real breeding ground for cyberbullying too with how easily identifiable users are. Not a lot of people even show their faces on tumblr.
