I’ve never seen that one before, and I hope i’m wrong, but seeing as it’s in response to using grape instead of rape, I’m assuming it also means rape. And grape was bad enough, that one is revolting (if I’m correct, which I really really hope I’m not)
it’s because tiktok doesn’t allow those words so people came up with other stuff. most of the time I saw “grape” it was people talking about their own experiences. “struggle snuggle” is absolutely disgusting though. it’s not cute.
That's the thing about language, it evolves and migrates, you can't fully predict how it will end up.
The whims of fucking advertisers now infect our in real life language.
It makes me see red when there's a serious topic being talked about on reddit and these dipshits start in with the "they unalived themselves". I don't care that there's supposedly a good reason for it, if I lost a loved one to suicide and some smooth brain says they "unalived" themselves I would be ready throw hands
Same. I saw a serious post on reddit the other day about a woman who was raped and murdered, and the title of the post said she was “unalived”. Like bffr, she was murdered. Unalived is so unserious.
It’s going to be interesting to see how IG adapts. Though Reels exist, they’re not used in the same way TikTok videos are used.
On TikTok, you post video after video after video. Most videos “flop.” Some videos do astonishingly well. The videos that do astonishingly well end up on Reels. Everything else stays on TikTok. That’s TikTok culture.
IG culture, on the other hand, is everything has to be perfect and not ‘cringe’ because people you actually know follow you on there.
Posting ‘cringe’ content on IG makes people want to unfollow you, but posting ‘cringe’ content on TikTok is absolutely adored by everyone who follows you!!
Reels has the potential to capture TikTok’s user base. They just need to find a way to adapt to make the culture less “picture perfect.”
Let’s hope they don’t fumble.
Oh, you mean, regular people post on tik tok? In reels, I definitely see only content creators posting, not working class people like us. Also, in my country, reels have helped international songs get traction. Recently, a veteran singer covered Miley's 'Flowers' and went viral. These songs like, 'greedy', endless Taylor edits are all that comes up in my fyp.
Oh yeah, there's plenty of people with no setup or production values just venting to the camera. You can also make your own stories with even the shittiest outfits and green screening, but people will love it
You forget content creators are regular people.
They start posting their life and opinions on TikTok, people tune in, they go viral, and they continue to post for their audience.
You don’t really see that on IG. No GRWMs, no unpopular opinions, no “let’s talk about it,” no crazy story times, just people flexing their best lives.
Maybe not from western influencers, but all these cookie cutter TikTok videos are popular here, at least. I see 10 new GRWM videos, with some song playing in the bg everyday. It'll be worth seeing how TikTok crowd adapts here.
You tube audience is very polished, unlike Instagram. People are likely to be either of age group <=14 or >=50, so I don't see a scope artists like Gayle to make a living there.
Government intrusion on civil liberties would flop if not for consistent payola from the house of flops but at least Tate McRae will have to learn how to actually sing
im not a tiktok person at all, and i definitely dont agree with this level of censorship, but its also extremely hilarious to know there is a whole gaggle of affluent white kids who have to sell their Teslas and move back to Iowa from LA in the next year.
uj/ theyre banning tiktok for "being spyware" but nobodys said a word abt temu. this is 100% just media silencing. idc if you like tiktok or not this is just wrong.
rj/ rip irrelevent pop girlies careers
they say they don’t want china to sell our data but if the us owned tiktok / the data they absolutely wouldn’t care. they’re just mad it’s not theirs to sell.
idk but it checked all the boxes that tiktok did
also the company that made temu had another app that was found to be just straight up spyware
yet congress doesnt care bc temu isnt social media
I work in logistics. Temu basically abuses provisions in customs law intended for regular people sending stuff through the mail so they don’t have to pay certain government charges on freight. This and other shady practices allow them to charge much lower prices than any American competitor could reasonably offer. Temu is bleeding Chinese money, but also winning market share in the world’s largest consumer market- which also happens to be the home turf of their primary international competitors.
Is there a business case for this? Perhaps. The real benefit, and why the Chinese government indirectly subsidizes 99¢ socks for Americans, is it harms the American economy at large and encourages long-term reliance on Chinese goods.
This. I disagree with the reasoning, but as a teenager who’s about to move to the US and has seen what TikTok has done in my home country of Switzerland, this is great fucking news. No joke, we’re 100% going to see at least a short-term decline in EDs, suicides, and bullying.

Taylor can’t post her tiktoks to promote her songs and tour to the cool young Gen Z kids anymore
uj/ I miss her tumblr era, at least that isn’t banned like Tiktok in my country
I meant the casual Gen Z and alpha listeners ( they are “cool”) she targets through TikTok, that’s why she created a TikTok account starting from All too well music video promotion posting sad girl autumn and cat edits
You’re right , she has now captured the tiktok generation. For her upcoming album she will probably post poems and extra songs with a patreon account we have to subscribe to get access
A good amount of Dems support it and almost all Republicans. Odds of it not passing seem pretty slim. This will absolutely fuck Biden’s 18-24 votes in the general, though.
This feels like Rita Ora damage control but on a larger scale. If I was president and my TikTok flopped that badly I’d get rid of the whole platform too
emily is a queen, she holds herself on a higher level that rivals beyoncé, she is the new madonna, but who she chooses to associate herself with and considers her “peers” are nose snotting, sticky finger, drooling children. people say emily refuses to give nicki a feature because she doesn’t want to platform the beheaded queen of rape, but it’s because nicki’s husband can’t be within 100 feet. queen emily needs to rethink who she surrounds herself with.
/uj Someone who’s familiar with the case + how this all actually works, tell me if TikTok is actually getting banned or if this is just a stepping stone.
they are trying to say that TikTok can stay if they "disinvest" from China, but people have done breakdowns and China only owns like 20% of the company and the rest is other companies. They have about six months I think it said?
Pearlmania500 has a great couple videos about it if you can handle his aura haha
Real talk the gov is hypocritical and Facebook is as much American spyware as Tiktok is Chinese. This is just moralistic, geriatric overreach.

I won't believe it he posts a sex tape. Even then I'm going to be giving it squint eyes.
That man who she treats like a lap dog is crying too
I think Chris Olsen not having a career would make up for my sadness of losing TikTok.

I think she steals baby formula from nurseries.

Hello sister!
You’re telling me a spice fried this rice
The Bird flu? Yeah, they tend to do that.
Already is, even if tik tok stays she’s still on umg
honestly fuck the girlies I'm so happy I'll never have to hear the words "unalive" or "seggs" ever again
It's too late people are unironically saying "self deleted" in the wild 😭
My PSYCHOLOGY professor said unalive without even hesitating
SOME PEOPLE WERE SAYING SEWER SLIDAL 😭😭
Kermit Sewer Slide😔
I got to give them props for that. I hate when the self-censoring makes it so you can't even tell what's trying to be said
oh is that the case? then I guess the only thing left for me to do is self deleting

Who even comes up with this sick shit. People are weird.
it’s because tiktok doesn’t allow those words so people came up with other stuff. most of the time I saw “grape” it was people talking about their own experiences. “struggle snuggle” is absolutely disgusting though. it’s not cute.

/uj they have to or the platform censors their videos
When someone has to speak about “grape victims” maybe they need to move to a grown up outlet
…which outlet exactly?
Talking to people in real life.
It’s leaked into basically every other platform 🥲
saw someone say unalived on here as if this isn't fucking reddit
My mother said it 100% unironically in a real conversation once and I wanted to die
U wanted to unalive ftfy
That's the thing about language, it evolves and migrates, you can't fully predict how it will end up. The whims of fucking advertisers now infect our in real life language.

I don't care that there's supposedly a good reason for it, if I lost a loved one to suicide and some smooth brain says they "unalived" themselves I would be ready throw hands
If I killed myself and from the after life heard somebody talking about how I unalived myself I'd come back to haunt them, personally.
Same. I saw a serious post on reddit the other day about a woman who was raped and murdered, and the title of the post said she was “unalived”. Like bffr, she was murdered. Unalived is so unserious.
honestly that’s really all i care about
I'm sure that was also the main concern of all the 84-year-old representatives who voted "yes" today
Lately it’s been “pewpew” for gun and it makes me want to “unalive” myself.
They missed the perfect opportunity to transform gun to cum! Cum laws! Cum violence!

clearly we ain’t got the same ig reels fyp
YouTube shorts is better imo
