Tried to use Tiktok a while back, had to stop after a week because once the algorithm "realized" I was a man it would not stop sending me Joe Rogan clips, thirst traps of young women, and other incredibly misogynist (and racist, and any other sort of reactionary) content. It was pretty fucking heinous. Lasering that into young minds that can't defend themselves is a deeply upsetting crime against humanity.

Seriously, I have a roommate who is ostensibly a nice guy, never says anything sexist/racist or whatever, and our living situation involves a Black/indigenous woman. But I hear him listening to TikToks all the time that are just the most vile misogynist or weirdly tradtional viewpoints ("women, if you make dinner but your husband don't like it, what do you do as a good wife?" etc). I feel like he's probably not even choosing these toks, they're just unavoidable.

The sad thing is, you try pointing this out and they call you crazy, and then say the nebulous thing they call "the left" controls social media and media in general. We're so fucked.

This has literally never happened before. Who could have seen this coming?

I thought you were exaggerating. I know it's a small channel, but holy shit I didn't think you could say something that blunt and not get blackholed by some automated NSA algorithm.

Wdym... I had to listen to a lot of the video just to hear something like... "chopping up racists and feeding them to the pigs isn't a good law" and other things...

Sounds like "reality TV" but even worse

I used tiktok for like a month and all i had was rez guys getting excited about grocery store fried chicken and making fun of some of the clapped out cars you would see in driveways. Thankfully, the app is too annoying and too fast for my mind.

WTF is this podcast... This should be in dunk tank not videos.

3m40: Maternal instincts? What.

4m50: Omg he wants a broad tent that includes bigots. No, do political struggle and education.

5m20: I will talk with Adolf Hitler, he says

6m40: They are now saying said bigots are subhuman and that it's OK for them to die. Which like, OK go off but please pick one.

7m50: OK guy on the left is synthesizing these ideas by being pro-reeducation. Real.

8m: Guy on the right wants to kill all Americans ok lmao

12-13m: (paraphrasing) "Women are better at serving because of sociological conditioning.... no actually it's also because their brains are different..." "I'm a rabid feminist that thinks there are significant biological differences in the brain"

13m40: Casually transphobic remark about putting on a dress and "tucking your wiener"

14m: Says all creatures with a central nervous system should be treated equally.

17m30: Now they're being racist????

25m: Transitional healthcare misinformation

All offense: These two are idiots who are just uttering their stream of consciousness instead of doing research and thinking before they talk. Some "political analysis."

but do you watch sports on tv?

Not necessarily, it just means you have empathy and are not a total shitbag.
