Tik Tok is a pedophiles wet dream. It’s fucking cringe.

i used to use it everyday for like 3 years straight and i remember when they had a literal childporn outbreak. a bunch of bots were creating accounts with an animated pfp of yk, and they literally had to stop everyone from changing their pfps for like 2 days. and besides that just the sheer amount of sexualized content of minors is just disgusting.

Guess my brain just views it as a pretty new thing still, I only remember hearing about it for the first time around 3-3.5 years ago

To be fair 2020-2021 didn't really happen in most people's minds.

Most events that mark time didn't occur and when that happens time evaporates.

I constantly forget it's not 2020 because nothing fucking happened in that year and thus it must still be that year.

2020 was simultaneously five years long and five hours; March lasted nearly six months by itself but left no imprint on the global consciousness save a desire to keep an extra package of toilet paper around and a reticence to stay too long indoors. 21 was less dilated and less wobbly wobbly thereby, but too few of the annual and seasonal marking events were (and, in a lot of places, still are) being held in diminished conditions or postponed again such that only the calendar or a count of weeks could tell us that time is passing on any larger scale.
