#tik tok is garbage

[hatsunepiku2009]

tik tok really is a smelly platform. Saw a video of someone saying "normalize having rooms with AUTHENTIC merch and not cheap knock off stuff from shein/aliexpress". While I do prefer authentic stuff over knock offs, do you have any idea how hard it is to get a hold of authentic shit? How expensive it is? Can yall mary sue bitches stop absolutely demonizing aliexpress and shein? You are not the savior of the internet for pretending to hold the opinion that "cheap merch bad hurrdurr". Temu/aliexpress/shein make things more easy to aquire for poor people. Also, a great majority of people who buy "knock offs" are most likely minors who don't have the means to just "save up" for it. If they can get something they love for a cheaper price, they probably don't give a fuck if it's not the real thing. As much as I hate knock off anime figures, I would never judge someone for owning them. Everyone deserves nice cute things regardless of the tax bracket they're in. Judging someone for owning knock off merch is the equivalent to seeing a low class person struggling and being disgusted by it. SERIOUSLY just shut the fuck up and go play Influencer vigilante somewhere else. You are NOT making an impact.

Everytime I find myself on Instagram reels, I find myself hating society more and more.

(Swings bat at hornets nest) I’m sure this has been said before but the tik tok trend of gendering everything is soooo sickening and the whole “omg boys think about the Roman Empire every day vs girls think about their ex best friend everyday” is just a rehashing of men are naturally better suited to thinking about the spiritual while women are naturally better suited to only thinking about the material. It’s gross

Since saying “not interested” and using content filters doesn’t work on tik tok I’ve just started blocking everyone. They tried to move the block button so I have to click “share the video” first to get there but I found it, you fuckers. And I’m blocking all the skinny bitches trying to convince me to go on diets and buy shit from their storefront. They literally served me a video of some old money nepo baby getting ready for a ball BOOOOOO!!! I want to see that guy who walks barefoot in the Everglades and other freaks like him and THATS IT

Been seeing a lot of interesting conversations over on Twitter about how class difference is portrayed in Haikyuu, and in contrast, it made me think about those shit ass "hinata would have grown more in another school" tik tok takes and why they make me so mad.

Like no shit, Sherlock, ANYONE would be able to thrive more in a richer school, with a properly funded volleyball club and everthying that comes with it. Schools like Shiratorizawa, Fukurodani, Inarizaki and etc. that are regulars at Nationals.

And that's the whole point of the story. I'm Hinata Shouyou from the concrete. Karasuno is literally portrayed as a garbage dump. Before Takeda takes over and convinces Ukai to coach the team, the vb club was literally in shambles

(And even before, during the glory days of Old Ukai, it seems like the school still didn't make a heavy investment in the club)

Anyway, Karasuno isn't a rich, renowned school. It isn't the best school. It doesn't have the best coaches or a bus or a whole ass cheer squad. And yet it's exactly the school Hinata wanted. He was willing to bike half an hour over a mountain, back and forth, every single day just to be able to attend it.

THE WHOLE POINT is that he still managed to climb his way up to the top despite not having a strong base and not being able to attend one of the best schools in the country. He who would climb the ladder must begin at the bottom. The whole point is that Karasuno- the team as a whole- managed to claw their way to Nationals despite everything.

(Also, I've seen people call Ukai a bad coach, and let me just say: WASH YOUR MOUTH. Ukai is an overworked likely underpaid 20 something dude who probably doesn't have a degree in any sort of teaching position. He agrees to coach the vb team despite having a store to run and helping out at his family's farm. This man is flying by the seat of his pants, working solely with his intuition and the knowledge he gained from watching his grandfather coach - which was almost TEN YEARS ago. The fact that he managed to take the boys to Nationals and get them as far as he did despite being inexperienced actually says a lot about Ukai's intelligence and potential.)

Is Tumblr still a thing…?

I made this account when I was still in high school and absolutely OBSESSED with Marvel and Tom Holland and Sherlock. And now, years later, I have stumbled upon this platform again when I was just trying to look up Taylor Swift songs that mention ages. Anyways. Is Tumblr still a thing? Is it thriving and alive or is it past its prime, replaced with garbage social media like Tik Tok? Also, side note: is there anything more embarrassing than reading the posts you made when you were a 16 year old? I don’t really have social media, so I’m curious if I should log off now or if it’s worth it to start posting again. And is the Sherlock fandom alive??? I rewatched it recently and it made me wish I was a fan before the series ended :(

"Sundays are for rotting" and it's just some wealthy girl having a day off work, like it's suppose to be. Your not "rotting" ho, your relaxing, like normal, mentally healthy people do.

Oh gosh I need to stop, i seem to be on a war path lately >_<

i know it's easy for those outside of fandom to dismiss anti vs pro, but i need people to understand there really is a direct line from the way people started misusing "grooming/groomer" for like shipping discourse on here in the mid-2010s, and disproportionately used it against M/M and F/F ships and in stuff like CMBYN discourse, to how it is used as an anti-LGBTQ+ slur by right-wing creeps like Libs of Tik Tok now. It made the jump from fandom to like general media/publishing discourse that happened on Twitter, and then that got noticed by people posting about politics and that eventually made its way to right-wing weirdos, who think that just being an adult a kid can come out to as gay/bi/trans is 'grooming." Just accepting people is grooming. And now they're trying to use it to re-mainstream very old, previously seen as distasteful homophobia about all gays and trans people being secret pedophiles. This stuff is not innocuous and it never ends with fandom. Same with the "kink-critical" stuff that turned into "no kink at pride" respectability-politics garbage.

That attitude never went away among homophobes. It wasn't that underground.

But fandom becoming cannon fodder didn't help, certainly.

[the-ghost-rat]

Not me seeing a HH/HB fan tagging those shows under a tik tok laughing at homophobes loving a gay character 💀

No jessica the show having some bi n gay characters doesnt mean homophobes wont love it-the show litrealy threw chaggie, its only shappic couple, to the garbage in favour of focusing on a man

Its a gay show made for straight people

[strangeauthor]

man i hope they reconsider the tik tok ban cause not only is it a violation of free speech but also because i do not want these goddamn white infulencers bringing their unfunny and terrible garbage to rednote

Can Dany Antis stop with calling my girl genocidal? I've been seeing the word be used all over tik tok and Tumblr, and using the word to describe the horrendous scene that was season eight is wrong. Taking in part that season eight isn't even considered canon to me and a majority of the fandom... Daenerys didn't commit genocide even if we factor in the horrendous bullshit that was episode five.

Sure, we could say Daenerys suddenly snapped or whatever and burned down King's Landing. Anyone can make an excuse for that scene, the directors butchered it and Daenerys' entire character. But antis mainly use it to excuse their hate on Dany because Dumb&Dumber fed into their crap and retconned everything that established Daenerys and who she was for the past seasons of her characterization. I don't care if antis make a big fuss using the scene; it happened in the show, and I tend to ignore it or block anyone who takes the scene literally. What I do hate about it is that not only does the scene enable antis to use a real term on a fantasy setting against a fictional character, but they use it so falsely and illiterately they can't be taken seriously and it makes my brain hurt.

A good majority of the anti arguments I see are "why do you like Dany she committed genocide?" "So you support genocide?" etc, etc.

Let's take a look at the straight definition of genocide (nabbed from Google ofc): "the deliberate killing of a large number of people from a particular nation or ethnic group with the aim of destroying that nation or group."

Notice how, in definition, genocide is the act of killing to destroy a nation or ethnic group. A great example of that would be from our own histories; H*tler and the N*zis committed acts of genocide with the intent to destroy a nation/ethnicity, the Jews. Imagine applying this to fiction of all things... and still getting it wrong.

Daenerys did not burn King's Landing to wipe out a specific nation/culture/ethnicity. That was never her intent. She burnt a city and its people, yes, but not because of their nationality. In the books and in the show prior to season eight, Daenerys acclimated to various cultures and respected them. In the show: Daenerys was the one who was viewed as the foreigner coming to white (Northern) lands. The Northerners were depicted as being openly xenophobic to Daenerys' armies and her people. Daenerys was viewed as part of Essos, in season seven she was even called a foreign invader with no ties to Westeros (that being completely false as well).

What my point is, antis, if you're going to hate on Dany just because of one scene that butchered her entire character suddenly "proves" your 'mad Dany theories' right... then at least do it correctly, and gain some comprehension. What Daenerys did in that garbage of a show was mass murder, not genocide. At least do the courtesy of learning how to read and basic definitions before making an argument about your hatred of a fictional character in fantasy that lives in your mind rent free.

I still believe season 8 is non-canon garbage. Book!Daenerys continues to slay, and I will always love show!Daenerys before the season that will no longer be named xx.

Welp. Tik Tok’s been banned. 15 thousand followers. 1 Million likes. Gone. Over a bunch of fucking boomers who cannot handle free speech. The same free speech that they’ll claim when spouting hate and nonsense garbage and rightfully get shit over it. Surprisingly, I’m not mad. I’m disappointed. That all of that hard work I did to carve out my niche little spot there was basically shit on and tossed away under the guise of “protecting America”. I’m gonna start uploading my animations and skits here, along with more general art stuff which I haven’t really posted because I was too afraid to really share it.

Honestly, get better America. This is just sad.
