TikTok Banning Fat, Ugly, Weirdos

Post by Martin Hash » Thu Dec 05, 2019 10:59 am

TikTok, a huge Chinese Social Media platform, is now competing against YouTube, and to prevent “hate speech,” they are banning the people who get hated on.

I love the irony of, “they’re a private company, they can do what they want.”

According to the ADVChina guys (serpentza and C-milk) on YT, who've lived in China for over a decade and speak Mandarin, Chinese people consider both being disabled and fat a great source of shame.





Would not be surprised if a company of mostly Chinese (from/in China) employees, mostly used to their own culture, simply handle certain people like they'd do in their home country.

Wonder how many Tibetans and Uyghurs use TikTok...?

The solution is to not use TikTok,

I've lived half a century on this earth without ever using a corporate social media platform, never missed them.

Its actually a good idea since TikTok is most popular among the middle school crowd and those kids are meaner than I could ever possibly hope to be on my worst trolling day

Kids can go outside and dance in the streets instead of on the internet, problem solved.

At the end of the day, kids are addicted to the internet, if they get kicked off, I don't see it as a bad thing.

Tik Tok is the in thing. It is Vine with advanced video editing tools. This is the backlash of the left's English Flaggot style of censorship. They opened this pandora's box. You want to stop bullying? Kick the people out that are the targets. Fewer of them instead of punishing every tik tok user. Smitty those damce videos you saw on YouTube they were all produced on Tik Tok.

I have nothing against TikTok, I just don't see it as a necessity.

I don't want to intervene in any way.

What solution are you looking for ? Legislation ?

What solution? What's the problem? English Flaggots of the world made this bed they can lie in it. The pussies of west want a "safe space," the Chinese will show them a "work camp."
