jimmy thinks women are weak and a nuisance bc he has mommy issues trust me meanwhile curly thinks women are too kind and unassuming to do bad things so he could get raped and he’s like no it’s ok she just didn’t know! and jimmy would just tell him yeah man she didn’t have a dick so it’s not rape

what i expect to see under the christmas tree btw

[messrsrarchives]

Just lasted three days on marauderstok to see what it was like and oh my? Why is it so mean over there?

three days you're so brave i feel ready to welcome you back here with a nice pint and some sleep meds.

this might have been a throwaway rhetorical question but i'll answer anyway because we all know i've thought about this a lottttt, so i have five reasons:

1) lack of anonymity

tiktok allows you to see the person, their name, their appearance, even their mannerisms if they're speaking etc, you know the person. that being said, of course, you only know as much as they are willing to give. but because you are *seeing* them, i think you naturally assume that this is all they are and it opens up that connection for negativity. it's easier to take it from "i don't like this headcanon" to "this person pisses me off"

and it's an unequal balance a lot of the time between commenters on private accounts, or even people posting faceless content, where they have more anonymity and therefore say what they want. it feels safer to drop a hate comment when you're private, and someone public who shows their face is an "easy target"

2) traction

there's two parts to this - the hierarchy and the algorithm.

algorithm wise, hate gets more traction. i.e the recent trend of "what's a (character) headcanon that you hate", you're going to get a lot more comments than "what's a headcanon you love". people get more traction when they say something hateful because then people argue in the comments, their video gets boosted and boom, traction.

the hierarchy is a bit more complicated and varies person to person but how i see it on tiktok is: faceless accounts (i.e carousels or editors) -> rec accounts -> whatever the fuck i do -> cosplayers -> fanfilm "actors" (cosplayers, fandom is not a job like acting is, regardless of your skill). and even then this varies because of followers etc but the hate follows up. and maybe that ties into anonymity as well actually but i think the main thing is that the more "content" you're "producing", the more hate you get from people who dislike it - "customers" who dislike the "product" they've gotten.

these two tie together a lot because people view likes and followers as desirable so they become more hateful to get up the hierarchy, and they're hateful to those that are already up there even when they put them there. it's very complicated and dumb but to sum it up in one word: capitalism :/

3) algorithm

tiktok has a looser algorithm. you can "curate" your fyp and you can "curate" your space, but it isn't secure. you will get things you dislike esp if, say you hate jegulus, the video has #marauders and #jegulus, and you've liked a lot of #marauders stuff, the jegulus video will come up because you can't block # on there.

but that doesn't explain the hate, what does is the fast-paced algorithm and how that affects attention span and empathy. yes, i sound like a grandad saying "it's the damn phones!!!" but it is. you can watch a video and scroll, and by the time you make it two videos down, you've forgotten what the first one was. it's very fast-paced and i think that adds to how comfortable people are sending hate. once they scroll, they forget the video, but the poster won't forget the comment as easily.

4) separation

in a fandom space, i think tiktok feels very separate to the writers. which sucks on one hand but also,,, i'm glad a lot of them aren't over there. because tiktok views their fics as a product and are horrible about them. but that separation aids to that negativity because you assume they won't see it. the same with "bigger" accounts, pepple assume they won't see their one negative comment but they will.

there's also, conversely, a lack of separation on tiktok. this is most relevant i think to my jkr discussions where marauders spaces and potterhead spaces overlap. and yes, i'm generalising, there are fans on both sides that hate jkr and fans on both sides that support her, but that mixing adds to the latter. you'll see content from universal on your fyp and repost it, and then it's in marauders spaces, or you'll see someone posting marauders merch and repost it because marauders, and the two are now so intertwined that you can't separate pro from anti even with the disclaimers in bios.

the reason it doesn't add to the former - no matter how much you try - is that tiktok, because of its fast-paced algorithm, isn't built for long form discussion.

which. yeah. oops, sorry. tried to rectify that, but tiktok isn't built for the kind of discussions people have over here, so no positive change really ever comes, just negative change.

5) social media in general is mean.

that's it. that's the whole point.

but yeah !! that's a few of the reasons i've deduced !! again, i sound like i complain a lot but generally tiktok was LOVELY and i met so many incredible people. unfortunately for everyone else, my degree is lit and politics and i can't engage in a fandom space without analysing it. engaging in discourse? no. studying the discourse.

but to summarise? tiktok is just very,,, capitalism based. not necessarily just with money (but yes, fanfilms i'm looking at you and your 50k start ups) but also just traction and the constant race to the top.

which is so sad because half the people "at the top" didn't even want to be there, people simply liked their stuff then got mad when they weren't sitting on this crafted pedestal "right"

but mostly, tiktok tends to view fandom and fandom content as a product. fics aren't shared with them, they're produced for them - which is very gross and icky (again, fanfilms im looking at you but i'd ramble on if i elaborated on this point oh i'm doing it anyway okay but !! paying for this film to be produced? asking fans to donate so you can make this film directly contributed to this who product mindset. and yes, people donate willingly so but sigh. i'd much rather get the film then donate if i see fit than have to pay to receive it? and i think that faction of fandom being so big on tiktok really messed up the fandom ideology over there)

sorry i'll shut up. tldr; capitalism :/
