#also why are they only posting certain answers on tiktok while the rest are on twitter thats annoying. #its sonic twitter takeover not sonic twitter and tiktok takeover just post all the answers in one place im not downloading tiktok for this #i only get to see the twitter stuff because i have an empty account that i dont actually use for anything

regarding that post you made abt the feminism thing— i genuinely feel like feminism has regressed so deeply in the last few years alone, not because less people are willing to identify as feminists but because everyone's sort of lost the plot when it comes to what an actual issue is. no the barbie movie is not a feminist masterpiece, no taylor swift is not a feminist icon PLEASE there are real problems in the world 😭😭

exactly,, and like before i feel like this was just a sort of isolated phenomenon but with the rise of tiktok, people genuinely feel like they're being soooooo feminist n woke when they talk abt something as tame as the barbie movie or literally taylor swift like??? theres just no self awareness about it

#asks #i think its part of a much wider discussion abt yt feminism but its just soo annoying how its entered the wider consciousness #like why are u guys just not thinking #like theres so much on tiktok thats just insane and terf-y and soooo regressive like the whole day in the life of a housewife / #why did we even want the vote / love being w a man so i dont have to think nonsense #like u said there are real problems in the world n sure some of what they r outraged abt is important its mostly always like isolated cases #or hypothetical cases like focus ur outrage on the real tangible problems

the idea of "influencers" both confuses me and pisses me off to the highest caliber. like what do you mean. what qualifications do you have to be influencing anyone. what are you famous for... being famous? I don't get it.

#like. the tiktok and youtube and instagram “fame” makes no fucking sense to me. #i understand people being popular for excelling in a field- #award winning authors or actors or artists etc etc #you have people looking up to you for your impressive accomplishments #or maybe you're an expert scientist so people should listen to your discoveries about nutrition or something #but why why why are random people. who are just.. conventionally attractive? #getting famous for... being attractive? #and then they give out advice on what to drink what to wear what to do with WHAT BACKING????? #i dont GET IT #it doesnt make any sense to me. #watching a danny gonzalez video about the hype house show #and some dude on it said something about 'advancing your careers' #WHAT CAREER??????? BEING HOT ON TIKTOK???? #THATS NOT A JOB>

oh fantastic we've reached the "m*x is only shipped with people that can make him look more tolerable and fix his image" stage in the "how can I justify why max ships are so popular" agenda

#my post #i am so sick of everything #he's popular because he is LIKED #your tumblr bubble of hatred #and tiktok algo thats specifically made to cater to said hatred #does not mean he isnt liked #and your tumblr bubble includes a whole lot of people who LIKE HIM and READ FIC about him #but pretend to hate him publicly #who have private convos with his fans #but then hide behind that PATHETIC and WEAK and SPINELESS 'hes an interesting character only' #'paperdoll!!!' #cause they are too afraid of what their mutuals will say #l*stappen AND m*xiel are the most written ships? #and just cauuse YOU (both anti max and anti l*stappens) dont get the appeal #doesnt mean others dont #and at the end of the day ITS ALL FAKE #ALL OF IT #ALL OF THE SHIPS #WHY get high and mighty about it #and why start this bullshit angle about it fixing his iamge lmao?????? #theres nothing to fix #its just that people should grow a spine #and like what they like on main #discourse

#went to a houseparty this evening and one of my pals started talking about being pro palestine but in a genocide the jews way #and its just made me really sad because what happened to just valuing human lives #what happened to being pro not genociding people at all #why have i got to listen to friends say they think my bfs family should be killed just bc they fall on the wrong side of the tiktok argumwnt #like im not pro killing anyone on either side i think its a really complicated issue #just sucks to have friends look you in the eye and tell you ur family should be murdered when at the end of the day #everyone that isnt the israeli government specifically is just a person looking for a home in a world that doesnt believe they deserve one #and thats true of Israelis and Palestinians respectively bc theres people on both sides of that argument #since when did saying i dont think murdering the jews is the answer become wrong? why cant i be anti israels government #and anti palestinian genocide #and anti jewish genocide #maybe im just a fucking hippie but i just dont believe in any genocide sorry???

People do know they don't have to buy a Stanley, right? Or whatever the fuck is the current bottle people want. You got your bottle for free in an event in 2015? All the power to you, but if having a cup that matches their outfit makes someone happy, why the fuck do you care????? Are you paying for their bottle? No, you're not. The bottle will still be produced. What's the ethical problem here??? If having a blue cup, and a pink cup, and a cup that makes me look like a koala keeps me going, then it's a necessary purchase. You're not the one spending money on it so why do you care?????????

#i got 5 tiktok videos on a row of people bragging about their old bottles #one girl literally ran her bottle over #and im like okay? you dont care where you're drinking your water #some people find dopamine on stupid shit like having their bottle match with stuff why do you care how they're spending their money???? #ugh #yes i have a Stanley. it was a gift tho #i also have more cups that i probably should have #but one sparkly cups that match my phone case kept me drinking water while i was at uni so i think thats a win #and they were also a small purchase that kept me going on bad days #i dont see the harm on having multiples of one thing #its not like I'm throwing the old ones away #i still use most of them when i feel like it #its a harmless thing #ITS A FUCKING WATER BOTTLE #fucks sake we cant like anything #thoughts thoughts thoughts

damn i miss mid-2010 fandom culture

it feels like we went from “like whatever you want and have fun” to “like whatever you want but if you like this specific thing you will be publicly judged and made fun of”. like obviously we had a couple nuts making fun of others back then too but it wasnt as accepted as it is nowadays. seriously, take a fandom that has been declared cringy today and think about how it would be treated 10 years ago

#IK THIS IS LIKE THE SECOND TIME I MAKE A POST LIKE THIS but this isnt anything thats based on my own interests and experiences #more so just things ive seen lately specially after s4 of stran/ger things came out and people on tiktok had a meltdown over fans cosplaying #WHICH I THINK A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME THOUGHT cause ive definitely seen some people defending said cosplayers #also. really weird. but ive seen some asshats criticizing people making crossovers as well #meanwhile we had rise of the guardians #the secret trio #and oh my god BAD END FRIENDS #we're not even gonna get into crossover ships man those were the days #like ngl ive had moments where ive seen a crossover of sorts and thought wtf this doesnt make any sense why did you do this #but i dont have the right to judge considering i thrived off of crossovers when i was in middle school #ffs i made an h/tf and oso/san crossover as a joke i REALLY dont have the right to judge #i have no idea where i was going with this post i just miss how we viewed fandoms back then #i rewatched gra/vity falls and ive just been slapped with nostalgia from being into it while it was still ongoing and i mISS IT #i swear i can make an essay on how tumblr banning po/rn was the beginning of the end for fandom culture #oh and theres also purity culture but thats a whole other issue to get into #txt

[oedipushansen]

as im reading crime and punishment, i just remembered this one tiktoker who made this one post of her posing with a copy of crime and punishment & the caption that was like "how are there seriously still women my age who still unironically read ya... pick up a copy of crime and punishment and read something meaningful..."

& the weird thing was like. if you went on her account you saw she was posting about the show euphoria so its not like she was above enjoying teen dramas or coming of age stories. what was going on there

#i saw them arguing in the comment section saying how ya wasnt ''real books'' which is just confusing #what do you mean not real books?? if its a bunch of paper stuck together with a cover thats a book why does it have to have special #qualifications?? why is it always white people who say things arent ''real art'' or ''real literature'' . is it like hardwired in their dna #to dismiss anything they dont like as just Not Real #im so glad i stopped using tiktok man no one on there was normal about reading #txt

This is definitely just a petty pet peeve, I know, and I don't mean this in a condescending way when I say it, but as someone who has been a professional character designer and illustrator -- as in I've been paid for it and hired by people to design characters and do illustrations as a freelancer -- for the better part of the last... 7 years, given a rough estimate, it really frustrates me hearing 16 and 17 year olds claim that they've been character designers or illustrators for 10 years.

Like, I'm genuinely glad they see their designing as experience!! Because it is!! But when I'm talking from a professional POV, using knowledge I've learned on the job, with techniques and the like that I've trained and honed in a professional paid for sense, and I suddenly get a "yeah I mean I've got 10 years experience" from a 17 year old its like... Please take me seriously, kid. I've been making character designs since I was 6, that does not mean I have 16 years experience as a character designer. There's a difference between professional experience and having fun making characters as a kid, and unfortunately the latter does not get you credibility in the professional field. I wish it did, but there is in fact a vast difference between the two.

This also goes for when I hear people who are hobbyist go "you don't need to learn the basics of art! You don't need to study anatomy or lighting or x y z fundamental!" because on some level I do agree! You can get into art without studying those things. However do not bitch and whine when your art doesn't look how you wanted it to when you refuse to learn colour theory. You need to know the rules before you can break them, is a rule of thumb I have with art.

This is largely just a vent post about people not taking me or my advice even remotely seriously with art btw. I'm often asked for advice on art and then told im wrong or that they know better despite being younger and/or less professionally experienced. It's just really frustrating, because I try to give positive feedback, as well as constructive criticism, but whenever I ask people for art advice, I'll typically get incredibly subjective opinions on what they find looks better. And it's like I am asking for what techniques here work vs don't not if you think the character would look better with fangs or cat ears.

#im frustrated #im not taken even remotely seriously among artists because a running issue in art circlea #at least in intermediate and beginner ones #is that everyone is so hellbent on being The One Thats Right #and im guilty of it too! i can admit! #but i also have actual fucking professional experience #and have seriously studied this stuff for YEARS because its my job and has been #so hearing people just tear shit apart on purely subjective things like they like orange better #despite orange changing the entire mood and vibe of a piece #really fucking sucks #because its all oneupmanship all the way down #and again i know i do the same! i dont know how to advise on some stuff #bc i dont know how to explain How to learn colour theory other than fucking study it #i cant teach it in bite sized bits and give you the whole picture in tiktok snippet sized comments #but i try and give objective praise #such as why a character design works according to general industry rules and general art rules #i.e the silhouette or the lighting being accurate or the design being interesting but not cluttered #also everyone saying g*nshin designs are cluttered? perhaps a touch however uhhh #your standard fantasy designs arent any better ♡ #nor are your fave magical girls or whatever #cluttered designs have their places! and g*nshin isnt even that bad with it imo #you want cluttered look at fire emblem #this is said hella affectionately too btw i love fe #anyways idk i just wish other artists would take me seriously #..... its frustrating too because its ALWAYS white artists who talk down to me

don't you just love seeing 1 tiktok about something that can be wrong with your body that you resonate with which leads you down a rabbit hole of research and diagnosing yourself with a new thing that explains everything you've been dealing with but didn't have the words for but you don't want to bring up official diagnoses with your doctor bc you either can't afford the testing or you're afraid you wouldn't be believed and/or told you're wrong even though you KNOW something is wrong w you but dont have the mental energy to pursue it and so you just walk around with a bunch of shit in your head about things you may or may not have but cant/wont do anything about and scream

#first it happened with adhd #then autism #then sleep apnea #now its joint hypermobility syndrome causing the pain in my hands bc ive ALWAYS been told im double jointed #turns out that can fuck up your fingers and wrists and all your joints in general #which yeah usually hurt #ive also diagnoses myself with mild restless leg but that wasnt bc of tiktok and really usually only affects me when i take melatonin #having a body is bullshit tbh #im also fully aware of the possibility that i have absolutely nothing diagnosable wrong with me and im just weird and in pain inexplicably #but having words for what it COULD be is fun and helpful #bro theres just no other explaination why at 22/23 i began having intense muscular and joint pain in my hands my FIRST YEAR having a job #and ive been told its not carpal tunnel its just inflamation but like I DONT USE MY HANDS ENOUGH FOR IT TO BE A CONTINUED YEARS LONG PROBLEM #there has to be something else going on dude and i dont think i have full blown EDS so JHS makes more sense #idk #i just get so frustrated with the way my body refuses to work properly #and at least calling it something helps me rationalize it #like 'im not lazy or overreacting etc i have this thing thats CAUSING this' #/rant #im just having a day

not to say my daily take again, but bunny's specific lack of place, the fact that even his friends don't even like him, and that he lies constantly and can switch from hot to cold and from loving to disdainful but keep acting like everything is fine afterwards is what being highly masking is like and it's terrifying mentally thanks for coming to my ted talk.

#especially when he shits on everyone around him #ive felt that in my SOUL #because when you're autistic and you talk - your own words seem meaningless to you in a sense #like we convey sentiments #which is why voice control is also hard to do #i can call someone all sorts of names and not feel even a slither bad aboutit and love them very much #even not be that upset at them #but break their heart and they interpret it as me like not liking them fundamentally #and it creates this sort of place where the autistic individual always feels like a performer #and a natural deceiver #whose real intentions are not understood but always feels out of place #even among friends #also why we are seen as unfeeling when thats not really true #i dont think Edmund TM is a particularly empathetic person but he would have more of it than lets say richard #but that's internalized #to a degree that it's like nothing is ever wrong and he just wants to hurt them torture them #rip edmund corcoran you would have absolutely loathed autism tiktok

i love when swifties on another site say something dumb and all the swifties on here tear them to shreds for it. anyway u guys r right shake it off is so fun how can anyone hate her honestly. like people say they hate her until she comes on and everyones having a good time but how can you actually hate her

#like this isnt what the tiktok everyone was talking abt (i cld only find a link to a tweet reposting it and tht person on twitter privated) #was saying i think but like. i tihnk its dumb to say its bad song bc the whole point is that its over the top and cheesy and just fun #like. you can dislike songs that are that but its dumb to say that makes it bad bc thats the point. and thats why people say its bad #so most people who say its bad are missing the point #ALSO WHAT FROM WHAT IV GATHERED THE TIKTOK WASS ABOUT ?? #complaining about a tracklist that hasnt been released yet for a tour that most fans within your country werent even able to get tickets fo #and international fans dont even know if its happening for them sornot is soo fucking dumbb just on the face of it !!! #but also what kind of loser are you that you dont want to be having the time of your life to a fun silly song at a concert be fucking real #like. v much a case of its seen as 'cool' to like folklore and to some degree evermore and midnights now #and people who r going for bragging rights andnot bc they actually want to go cant handle a song that is unabashdly 'cringe' #potentially being there. even though its called the ERAS TOUR ITS ALL HER ERAS ALL HER MUSIC BABESS !!! #okay. done now. sorry for the rant ghdfhgdf #flappy rambles

Tbh ppl here are so weird about tiktok users

#like yes tiktok bad and its kind of funny when ppl say things to get around an algorithm that doesn’t exist on here #but ppl being like ‘if youve ever said unalive I never want to talk to you’ need to get some perspective #like… they were on a platform where they had to say that shit sometimes to talk about things #they were the ppl being censored and thats how they got around it #(it wasnt just used for ‘im gonna unalive myself’ jokes ya know? its also used to talk about police killing ppl which tiktok often censors) #(like it was used to talk about important issues to spead information in a way that would get around censorship) #why are you acting like its their fault?? that does absolutely nothing to hurt tiktok?? and you are just kicking someone while they are down #just inform them that they dont have to do that #stop assuming you’re smarter than everyone I promise you are not <3 #also anyone saying tiktok doesn’t actually censor things and its just users being dramatic is lying #or is spreading misinfo #cmon ppl use your brains #YouTube has ‘protections’ for users speech that it breaks all the time we know this #it is inconsistent with who it does and does not censor #why would you think tiktok is any different? #of course the Washington post doing a ‘study’ isnt going to get censored because its a well known company #and censoring THEM would be massively reported and make tiktok look bad #not to mention the possibility that it was a mutually beneficial ‘test’ #tiktok would get a massive news company ‘disproving’ all the alligations of censorship #which is good for bezos who ownes the WP because people post videos of Amazon’s work place violations that get taken down #and now they’ll look less reliable if they talk about censorship which will then make everything they say seem less reliable
