“You know I’ve seen… less nonsense in 3H stuff here. Maybe tempers are finally cooling.”

*Looks up Rhea art while not being logged in* “All Rhea fans are Tradcaths and probably fascists.”

“…Oh right. This fandom has not had a normal day in its life and I probably just have most of the egregious people blocked.”

I'm watching The Fall of Ruby Franke on Disney+, and is there anything scarier than white US suburbias?

To quote my (US) colleague: Honestly, sometimes it feels like the US is 100 cults in a trench coat

imagine reading a thing where the first time the mc was raped he poisoned his rapist as revenge and you think great, finally some good fucking food, but then the sexual assaults keep coming and the mc doesnt even do anything abt it anymore bc he got used to it or whatever. not even like acknowledgement or resentment because he fell in love, whatever bullshit that was. thats what the most popular mafia obsessive romance manhwa BLs are like.

The graphic novel's art was amazing and it was a good read but once it tried to start Fire and Ice it went downhill like immediately. Nearly the whole book was skipped over and I was really disturbed by the lack of Graystripe killing Whiteclaw during the riverclan skirmish.

Nope now it’s at the point that i’m shocked that people off tt don’t know what’s going down. I have no reach but i’ll sum it up anyway.

SCOTUS is hearing on the constitutionality of the ban as tiktok and creators are arguing that it is a violation of our first amendment rights to free speech, freedom of the press and freedom to assemble.

SCOTUS: tiktok bad, big security concern because china bad!

Tiktok lawyers: if china is such a concern why are you singling us out? Why not SHEIN or temu which collect far more information and are less transparent with their users?

SCOTUS (out loud): well you see we don’t like how users are communicating with each other, it’s making them more anti-american and china could disseminate pro china propaganda (get it? They literally said they do not like how we Speak or how we Assemble. Independent journalists reach their audience on tt meaning they have Press they want to suppress)

Tiktok users: this is fucking bullshit i don’t want to lose this community what should we do? We don’t want to go to meta or x because they both lobbied congress to ban tiktok (free market capitalism amirite? Paying off your local congressmen to suppress the competition is totally what the free market is about) but nothing else is like TikTok

A few users: what about xiaohongshu? It’s the Chinese version of tiktok (not quite, douyin is the chinese tiktok but it’s primarily for younger users so xiaohongshu was chosen)

16 hours later:

Tiktok as a community has chosen to collectively migrate TO a chinese owned app that is purely in Chinese out of utter spite and contempt for meta/x and the gov that is backing them.

My fyp is a mix of “i would rather mail memes to my friends than ever return to instagram reels” and “i will xerox my data to xi jinping myself i do not care i share my ss# with 5 other people anyway” and “im just getting ready for my day with my chinese made coffee maker and my Chinese made blowdryer and my chinese made clothing and listening to a podcast on my chinese made phone and get in my car running on chinese manufactured microchips but logging into a chinese social media? Too much for our gov!” etc.

So the government was scared that tiktok was creating a sense of class consciousness and tried to kill it but by doing so they sent us all to xiaohongshu. And now? Oh it’s adorable seeing this gov-manufactured divide be crossed in such a way.

This is adorable and so not what they were expecting. Im sure they were expecting a reluctant return to reels and shorts to fill the void but tiktokers said fuck that, we will forge connections across the world. Who you tell me is my enemy i will make my friend. That’s pretty damn cool.
