There's a reason I'm not on TikTok. I was an old man when I was 15, it's worse now at 31.

After checking out Billie Eilish's music I think she makes really good music, but hoo boy are there a lot of dudes around my age wanting to talk about her body like she hasn't been famous as a teen longer than she's been famous as an adult.
-
She's entirely post-millenium Gen Z and the discourse around her body - and her decision to dress to avoid being objectified as a teen - is kind of peak older generation dudes seeing access as familiarity and being the worst about it.

I feel like I went through this when teens tried to shame the adults off AO3 because "fanfiction is a teen space!" I shall cede them tiktok, but since when are YouTube and social media young adult spaces?
-
I mean, they aren't, inherently, but if a lot of teens are passing through your space it behooves you to be careful/respectful

I had to work to get my feed free of teen girls. Now it’s mostly Black women and queer creators and Gen X and Millennial comedians and a few gen z creators. But the app feels like a smorgasbord board for creepy dudes.

I just decided that if anything really good happens on Tiktok it'll probably become a meme on Twitter

That's not really true tho. There are plenty of people in their 30s on tiktok. You just have to like and dislike things for a few days and soon you'll only be shown stuff you like. Obviously you don't have to use the app but it's not just for one age group
-
Yeah well I also don't particularly want all my user data being hoovered up and sent to China

Yeah, tiktok seems way too young, honestly, I’m staying away from it. I’ll let the kids have that, whilst I diminish and go into the west* *turn 25.
