remember that era of tumblr leftism circa 2013ish when people interpreted Combat Liberalism as a guide for everyday interpersonal relationships instead of building/maintaining a revolutionary political party
the damage this paragraph did to a generation of obnoxious high schoolers...

A while back all of my friends had a plurality realization in the same night and nothing will ever even come close to being as funny as them one at a time having their "OH." moment
Like it was within ten minutes of each other it was hysterical
rating: plural! the same thing happened so... so... many times on our discord

Update, i now know what pro shipping actually means; second update
I AM A PROSHIPPER X3
I’ve been on TikTok for all of my fandom-life, and got all my definitions from there, and on TikTok ‘pro shipping’ is actually ‘problematic shipping’ which is SUPR confusing. But now that i think of it it makes sense how problematic shippers would never just say “I’m a proshipper” they would have this emoji combo:🍖🌈 , which, if I’m right, certainly fits the bill, or at least I’ve been conditioned to think so, context:
As a tiktoker/TikTok user..
TIKTOK IS A CONFORMITY MACHINE!!!
More context: the kind of posts you see on tumble like
“___ ao3” or “____miraculous ladybug” or just any fandom post, is the same kind of post that gets BOMBARDED with comments like
(Fandom posts that aren’t normalized like Spider-Man or marvel or smthg)
“☠️☠️☠️”=“this kid likes ___”
“Nahh☠️☠️”=“no way they’re being serious”
“It’s so preppy in here!”=quote, it means your weird
“oh.. that’s not..”= just a random quote, normally when something is deemed as weird
“Post this on ig reels”=“i wont make fun of you because i know those guys who can do it better”
Or if you post a drawing that isn’t immediately incredible:
“Oh.. that’s not..”=still a random quote, but this time it means “omg! This sucks!!”
“It’s so preppy in here!”=quote, means your drawing looks really weird
“Post this on ig reels”=“i wont make fun of you, because i don’t feel like it”
Or you’ll get some variety of:
“Yeah you go (randomize pronoun)!!!” With a string of emojis and more obviously sarcastic encouragement
Idk why this turned into a guide to survive mainstream social media, but I’m living for it.
Tip number one on surviving TikTok,
BULLYING IS A MASSIVE CULTURAL ACTIVITY
Here’s somewhat how a conversation might go over TikTok when your talking to someone while they’re bored
A: “Why is bullying on TikTok just.. normalized?”
B: “what are you on about☠️”
A: “ok pause, that emoji right there, why is it so common?”
B: “bro are you dumb?”
A: “you see, that right there, I’m just tryna conversations and you’re insulting me”
B: “bro it’s not even that serious, if you can’t handle being on the internet just log off☠️☠️”
Or
B: “bro it yeah sometimes it sucks, but bullying is necessary, why do you think people aren’t just posting corny sh&t all the time? Because WE keep them in check”
So now..
The masses are left with a crossroad,
find a new platform and work harder to fit in? Or simply become a sheep in the crowd, follow the micro trends and when the first sign of dislike shows up, show dislike for it even if you like it?
I, among many others, conformed, i mean it was easy, and arguing on the internet is now like a hobby, a fun pastime
