#TIKTOK AND ITS CRIMES

[beforeyougo-turnthebiglightoff]

can we collectively as a society go back to when people listened to albums instead of 30 seconds of a song

'ohh i dont listen to albums idk' WHAY #like im so srs when i ask ADE YOU FOR REAL??? #'idk i just like single songs' ?? do you ever have fun jesus christ #what happened to liking artists #why does everyone like songs instead of albums i SWEAR it wasnt this bad like 10 years ago #TIKTOK AND ITS CRIMES #blah blah! #the 1975

I often see people over in the clock app painting NHS as outdoing JGY in his scheming and tbh I get where they're coming from but I think that's just dubious at best because JGY and NHS are very different characters. Bear with me.

I don't think either classify as schemers per se— NHS's plan could have been derailed by so many things that had a very fair chance of happening and that's not scheming imo. At least not decent scheming. NHS is a smart resentful guy with means and patience who happened to get lucky.

JGY on the other hand, unless I'm forgetting something, we never see him actually playing the long game, do we? Save for sunshot. He takes measures to protect himself against getting his crimes discovered but that's basic self preservation rather than long term thinking.

JGY works with his current circumstances because he has too or he'll die, while NHS has the means, the safety, and the time to play the long game.

NHS has the luck that nothing on his plans derailed, while JGY does not, and that kind of highlights their respective social positions, JGY as a hard working man who gets the short end of the stick every time and NHS as headshaker who gets to do whatever he feels like doing because he's gentry. Also NHS being given more grace than JGY

TLDR NHS and JGY are very complex and very different in the ways they operate (noth of which reflect their lives and experiences) and reducing All That to "schemer 2 outdos schemer 1" is both reductive and a disservice to both their characters

#asks answered #sometimes an ask is just too good on its own for me to mess it up with my commentary #i am kissing this commentary tenderly on the forehead #mwah 💋 #mdzs meta #jin guangyao #nie huaisang #he did crimes??? good for him 😌 #let him have birds!! 🕊️ #edited to add: i am so glad i am not on tiktok and so don't have to see the shitty takes over there

they could make a new we didnt start a fire song with the amount of dystopian fuckery going on

#genocide and colonization; AI takeover; greedflation; american election; photomatt; covid pandemic; measles comeback #human rights violations; war crimes; tiktok; elon musk; low wages and layoffs at an all time high; ceo paycuts; online censorship #climate change; oil spills; car centric infrastructure #just to name a few off the top of my head. im not even saying this to be funny im like dead serious full on depressed #i hate being so negative on main because it feels defeatist and sends everyone into a spiral #but i really want to change the world if i can help it and that means not ignoring everything thats going on even when my brain is #screaming 'its so over.' i want more ways to change the world but thats exactly why the current systems in place thrive on supression #more ppl should hate the way things are instead of accepting it because none of this should be justified in the first place #please dont be sad. be angry because i think we all deserve to be the way things are going rn and i want to punch elons teeth in #vent #yapping

i just blocked so many bots my hand hurts. we're fighting for our lives here on tumblr dot commed

#nearly brought me down a full hundred #friendly reminder that if you have no likes/reblogs on your blog Blocking Is Inevitable #and most people wont even check. if you have an untitled blog with a default icon its often an insta block #i have a feeling most people who are mistaken for bots #are from tiktok/twitter/insta #but yall pls... at least change your icons it takes 2 seconds... it can be literally anything... a stock photo from the internet... #i feel bad going on sprees bc i just Know im blocking real people purely for the crime of acting exactly like a bot #its harder to tell especially since the names are getting more creative #rampant bots and likes over reblogs... these are the dark ages of webbed site #absolutely unprompted

Monster Characters as Social Media Influencers

My mind has been plagued by the worst thoughts

Kenzo Tenma: He’s fine. He’s not online. He is fighting a losing battle to convince everyone else to reduce social media consumption

Eva Heinemann: Fashion TikTok/instagrammer who talks about thrifting and selling pieces for like $400 girlboss style, promotes MLMs

Heinrich Lunge: Full time internet sleuth, part time doxxer

Wolfgang Grimmer: Niche video essayist, big “this is just a brief look into the topic....don’t look at the video length” energy

Johan Liebert: NFT and crypto rugpull schemer, for the fun of it

Nina Fortner: Streamer who reacts to videos / drama / discourse / events and pulls out her schooling in law when applicable

Lotte Frank: Twitter/TikTok journalist of the “I asked random people about ___” variety where it frames the people being asked as stupid to make her point

Rudi Gillen: True Crime podcaster

Roberto: Alpha Male lifestyle coach

#naoki urasawa's monster #sorry this is terrible #this was all brought on by 'what if gillen true crime podcaster' and I wanted to know everyone else's horrible modern online personas lol #also idk where those fashion people actually post I assume it's tiktok and insta but I don't use either of those. I just know they exist #if tenma was actually an influencer it would probably be for like genuine health and help but its funnier having him be Not Online #anyway this is crack and probably not as funny as it was in my head

[g3othermal3scapism]

her ass is NOT all american 🤣🤣

i spent like multiple hours on this when i shouldve been sleeping and then tiktok fucking. took the sound down. what if this was my final straw?

#posting it here too to cope #because i know that now its muted it will get maybe 1 like #i hate you tiktok #with all of my heart actually ! #the haters are trying to sabotage me #and its working im so tired im so close to tears #6 am. #been working on this so long i beat fnaf or smthn #ok #that is all now i will be contemplating a heinous crime #goodnight #doctor who #rose tyler #tenth doctor #ninth doctor #edit #timepetals #pretend it doesnt have my tiktok watermark im too tired to change it

Saw two posts recently and I disagreed with them for the same reason and that is, y’all better not be falling into the pit of dissing things bc they’re not “sophisticated” enough for you or something.

Like someone complaining about cutesy wutesy terms or like stupid fanfic writing. Some people be saying stuff like ‘no! You have to like real books! Only use real words to describe yourself!’ Who are you? The cringe police?

Actually the colloquialisation of language is kinda a complicated topic. Yeah we shouldn’t dumb down words and stuff when it comes to discussing serious things and we shouldn’t be calling anyone else things that they don’t want to be called. But if someone is using casual language to refer to themselves and they’re someone who can ‘reclaim’ (for lack of a better term) that language, then I don’t think it’s hurting anyone. Sometimes we need to use serious language and sometimes we don’t.

And let’s not make fun of hashtag weird fanfic or fandom (as long as it doesn’t actually promote harmful views or cause harm).

There’s obviously exceptions to both these points but my general rule is, let’s not attack things for the sake of ‘it’s weird’ or ‘different’. Being judgemental and shaming people to conform to arbitrary standards is the talking point of literally every single hate crimer. That mindset is used by ableists, racists, sexists, queerphobes etc etc. Lets not forget that.

#this is in regards to the neurospicy post I saw a little bit ago #may have taken it a little too personally #idc if its a tiktok trend or whatever I first heard it be used by my own neurodivergant friends (me included) and its not hurting anyone #not hurting anyone involved #bc we’re in our own enclosed space and we know what it means #we know the neurodivergant experience needs to be taken seriously I mean we’re the ones suffering the consequences of those who refuse to #acknowledge our needs and struggles #idk ik im taking it personally but the fact that we’ve used a stupid little cutesy word shouldn’t suddenly erase that ig #ik the op didn’t mean to catch other neurodivergents in the slander but like #words have context ig #not a crime to use silly goofy language for yourself #it just reeks of gatekeeping #idk #this probably doesn’t make sense #not to be confused to when people make up cute names for crime allegations #that’s bad #essentially ‘silly words to self describe’ = good bc silly doesn’t inherently mean bad #but ‘silly words to describe serious and harmful events’ = bad bc when discussing said events we need information to be clearly understood #and we want to talk respectfully because others are involved

Begging true crime armchair detectives to understand that you are not Sherlock Holmes you are not special you will not solve the next big case you are doing nothing but putting misinformation out there and spreading harmful rumors and stereotypes. Real life and real tragedies are not murder mystery games you are actively harming people with your insane theories you are centering yourselves rather than the victims you are speaking over survivors and families and friends you are making up batshit insane lies just because you have a “feeling” and it’s not okay it’s not harmless it’s legitimately dangerous and heartless and it’s fucking disgusting how you refuse to see that

#I understand having an interest in true crime I understand wanting to follow certain cases #but having an internet connection does not give you to credentials and the ability to solve a case #and these are real people who deserve respect when you speak about them and there are families and survivors who ask for stories to be #shared to raise awareness #but making wild guesses and accusations is not spreading awareness #it’s attention seeking its clout chasing and its dangerous #it is not ‘suspicious’ that a women survived a massacre it’s a fucking /miracle/ #and to begin placing doubt and blame and suspicion on her just to grab people’s attention and make the case sound ‘juicer’ #is fucking appalling how fucking dare you #it’s happening with this case a tiktoker is getting rightfully sued for making wild accusations against a woman who was a complete stranger #to her #about a case she has absolutely nothing to do with #it happened with the gabby petito case #there were goddamn self proclaimed ‘psychics’ posting videos #claiming they could ~feel her spirit~ #claiming she was absolutely alive or claiming she died this way and that and they knew for sure because they were ‘psychic’ #I think people who claim to be psychic to prey on grieving families and draw attention from big cases are fucking disgusting #it happened here!!!! in my town!!!!!!! #a woman was kidnapped!!!!! #and instead of focusing on her and helping her everyone focused one one interview her boyfriend gave on the news #I saw this interview myself as it aired #and people online were claiming they knew for sure he absolutely did it it had to be him he HAD to be guilty #and while it’s true they often investigate the partner first in these cases #these armchair detectives were claiming he was just like Chris fucking watts #‘because he moved his arms a certain way’ #because behavior analysis videos have poisoned people’s brains into seeing every blink every stretch every twitch as suspicious #the case was solved shortly later. he had absolutely nothing to do with it. this man lost his wife and child and was deemed guilty #by the Internet. because he raised his arms above his head in stress???? #fuck off #it’s fucking gross

[mbat]

yknow what, either people want the internet to be censored more, or you want it to be at the level where people are allowed to say fuck cunt shit bitch 2000 times in a 20 minute timespan and im sick of people acting like you can have it both ways

#I HATE THE TIKTOK CENSORING GARBAGE STOP TYPING LIKE YOURE A HOMESTUCK TROLL AND SAY THE WORDS KILL AND DEATH #and say what you will about helluva boss im not getting into discourse about that but a common criticism i hear is #'every other word they just say fuck or make sex jokes' THANK FUCK THEY DO. PLEASE DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH OF A RELIEF IT IS NOWADAYS #TO ACTUALLY HEAR PEOPLE CURSE AND OUTRIGHT REFERENCE SEX ON YOUTUBE? #im so sick of people saying curse words and then bleeping them out and shit. its actually the worst #id rather they just didnt say them at all damn #also i hate people saying unalive fully unironically OR JUST NOT SAYING CERTAIN WORDS AT ALL #fucking horror youtubers and true crime youtubers not being able to say words like suicide and other topics that come up so frequently????? #im going to rip my hair out this is the worst we are fucking making real life topics into forbidden things all over again #people arent going to explode if they find out what death is or hear people say curse words. please #my post #nowadays if i hear a youtuber actually say any of these words uncensored im actually shocked. and its just embarassing

#couldn't download whole tiktok its all good #but thiis #raskolnikov #rodyon raskolnikov #crime and punishment

[ble-ed-mo-re]

blocking idiotic anti shippers and pro shippers is self care and something everyone should do <3

#tiktok antis and proshippers are so fucking obnoxious and annoying #and also some of them are literally committing crimes lol #ppl seem to forget that telling ppl to kill themselves is illegal #also like #proshipping isnt illegal. its not illegal to imagine fictional characters in problematic relationships. its gross yeah but its not illegal #thought crimes dont exist that should be common fucking knowledge #shipcourse

[hauntswitch]

Can't believe I'm saying this but I think society should bring back some marketing standards. If I have to see one more brand or company trying to be cool making an unfunny advert in the style of a shitty tiktok trend I'm going to fucking lose it. Go back to being obviously fake and annoying!! Go back to creators having a bit of text on screen saying #ad with free use music playing in the background! Stop with the blurring between entertainment and extortion! Aghhh!!

#wendys‚ dennys‚ Duolingo‚ and ryan air you will all pay for your crimes. #also dont get me wrong 'meme marketing' as its called has been around for decades now‚ but there has been such an evident and large shift #in marketing due to tiktok. the lines and rules behind what is declared an ad in a video have become more blurred and practically every #other post on all social media sites is a intentionally badly edited post-ironic type of meme trying to boost engagement and its annoying!! #anyways hiiiii tumblr <333 #meme marketing #ramblings #im not gonna put this post in any proper tag because im kinda just ranting here but there is an interesting sociological conversation to #be had about this kinda stuff. in a way itll be interesting to see how this trend progresses - we've already seen ads like this on youtube #for years now‚ and spotify too‚ but as far as im aware it hasnt reached things like television and newspapers yet. possibly because of #the age demographics and target audiences of these things
