When and how did this become acceptable and a flex?? And of course she said there’s nothing to be worried about because it was ~consensual~
I’m not being snarky or funny when I say this. This resulted in brain damage. We’re looking at non-fatal strangulation, where her blood flow was cut off so strongly and for so long, that the vessels that carry blood to her eyes and face ruptured and we’re looking at the results of internal bleeding. Losing consciousness by itself indicates serious neurological effects from this traumatic injury.
Tiktok is a platform primarily aimed at children and young adults. She almost died. Even if she genuinely asked for and wanted this, it doesn’t make it ethical to glorify extreme self-harm on a youth-based social media app. The people who used to glorify this stuff used to post it to 18+ fetish sites and it’s become so normalized that children are looking at this and at other pornsick adults commenting about how ~sexy~ it is and developing a warped view of the world and women’s place in it. It’s unconscionable.
