TikTok behavioral patterns - For us to observe and study

[Cuntspiracy Man]

Maybe this thread title was a mistake, or I didn't elaborate well enough on what I mean, because it's just becoming a generalized thread about TikTok as an app, as opposed to "TikTok behaviors"

Tiktok as an app is optimized in the best possible way to be addictive and to keep you there. China controls the algorithm though and for sure pushes degeneracy onto kids and promotes protest/riot videos when something is happening in the US to try their best to break down society.

They know that eventually children will be so far gone that they can't even concentrate in class and their only aspiration is to mouth songs to a camera all day. There is a generation of kids that are useless in the workforce so productivity keeps going down while China can overtake the US.

Don't forget TikTok also "makes (people) buy it-" aka, typically, cheap chink plastic sweatshop crap, and the best part is that the people on there are such machines that they don't even realize they're advertising this crap without getting paid, because they think advertising language and that particular tone and way of speaking that everyone on there uses is just... normal.... seriously, listen to nearly any video and you'll notice how much they all talk the same, and how often they have that infomercial tone even when showing off things they own or things nobody is paying them to shill

I've heard middle aged women use Tiktok speak. Graped, SA, unalive. It's horrifying.

A big part of me wants to install this and just start furiously masturbating all day.

I mean, what else are you supposed to do now that Omegle is dead?

 

[not william stenchever]

There is not enough methamphetamine salts on earth to fix this.

Not with that attitude. Be the change you want to see in the world.

Dude I dated a chick that started to preach to me about social justice that went into tiktok lecture tone mode in real life, it was fucking creepy

Aren't those literally terms they're forced to use because TikTok is a kiddie app that won't let them swear or use adult language?
Man, I've seen people literally say things like : skull : : skull : : skull : on fucking image boards and video game lobbies shit's gae

It's the same feeling I get when I hear someone describe smut as, I quote, "EN-ESS-EFF-DOUBLE-YUU"

We gotta find some clips of that inhuman way they vocalize on there

They get this schizophrenogenic stare in their eyes and start this utmost bitchy preachy tone. They're bonkers.

I think people get the message - they just neglect to accompany their thoughts with videos because we get the idea already. TikTok mannerisms have been so deeply ingrained into mainstream culture that this site has effectively documented and mocked them dry; most users have been exposed to their traits in one way or another (search up ‘zoomer’, ‘gen z’ etc.). I believe that it’d be more productive to follow the current flow of the thread and offer insights into what causes this behaviour - through how the Chinks can engineer the app or otherwise - as opposed to sharing the same cookie-cutter TikToks over and over again.

Non binary and DID.

Fake things that uber-feminine oversocialized tumblrinas do for attention but tik tok has made them more mainstream than they deserve.

This is absolutely a result of the medicalization of our culture, and it ties into why so many people obsess so much over not only disorder titles but also personality types, MBTI and other terms for traits like "introvert/extrovert" and such
People wanna be diagnosable, they wanna be able to name every aspect of themselves instead of just being an organic person, and they want it to be as easy as doing a personality test

Yknow that one video about a woman lamenting that she "misdiagnosed" herself as an introvert.... The desire to name every trait of yourself and put a cute little bow on the whole thing is definitely a hyperfeminine trait, and that's exactly what psych exploits

Most of the shit these people want 'normalized' is typically very much normal, albeit undesirable behavior
It's nothing strange or indicative of mental illness, but rather indicative of assholishness, just plain unpleasant or unlikeable. Nothing really stops them from doing it, but they need it normalized because they're incapable of doing anything that isn't approved of by the collective
They're normalfags who can't just silently conform, but also aren't insane or rebellious enough to go their own way and do things without caring who's looking- they want the "best" of both worlds, the affirmation of conforming with the freedom to do as they please, without working for either

I have a theory that most of these women used to be the kinda people who mocked, hated or bullied the autistic and mentally handicapped when they were younger, and now that doing that isn't cool anymore, and these mental disorders are trendy, they wanna jump in and get the sweet sweet attention without actually being forced to respect or share the pie with those same undesirable folk
So they alienate them, portray mental illness as something cutesy that any girly can have if she's just quirky enough, while actual autists and retards are just "creepy" and "icky", that way these girls get special treatment, are treated like saints, but never have to interact with or allot that same treatment to the- *gag* -weirdos they still hold disdain towards

Freddie De Boer does a whole series of articles about this fetishisation of mental illness on his substack. it's some decent in-depth reading.

There's definitely something to be said about the emotionless way these people speak
Yes, I know Trisha is a textbook valley girl skank, but if she's not the perfect example then who is?

The start of this video in particular caught my attention, listen to the complete and utter lack of any feeling in her voice as she describes every object, even the things she supposedly "loves", she just gets those points out of the way as if she's giving a presentation and there's no semblance of genuineness in there
"AndILoveTheColorsSoCute Anywaaaay-" that's the kinda tone I'd have if I was forced to compliment something a relative gifted me so as to not hurt their feelings
And it's absolutely how most every person on video based social media talks now, this speedy getitouttatheway manner of speaking and repetitive language

I've heard middle aged women use Tiktok speak. Graped, SA, unalive. It's horrifying.

For the longest time, I thought "unalive" was just some euphemistic dark humor.

That awful book 13 Reasons Why and its Netflix adaptation claimed to be "starting a conversation" about suicide, but ever since then, it has made it taboo to an obnoxious degree. And like its dead protagonist Hannah, it's effectively used for emotional blackmail.

Notice how you're not supposed to say "committed" suicide. Now it's "died by suicide". And every youtuber has to mute it out to the point that it becomes distracting, as if the word "suicide" is some kind of Manchurian Candidate code that compels sad people to off themselves.

They/thems, in person, also frequently slip up and refer to themselves as women without thinking, haha.

From what I've seen, being fat is very acceptable, often encouraged to the point that if you say you want to lose weight, you're "fatphobic" because weight loss is fatphobic apparently, but if you're skinny, and just doing a random video, you're all of a sudden "body checking."

Another one I've seen is where they get "outraged' over a certain news story or even if it's just a news story they find entertaining at the time, they'll talk about it for maybe a week tops and then forget about it and move on, I sincerely believe they're going to do this with the Palestine/Israel situation.

Finally, they'll try cancelling certain famous people or just popular tiktok creators, sometimes over dumb shit and sometimes over appropriate things to try and "cancel" someone over, and most people like commenting, "I never liked them" or "I've always had a bad vibe about them" but most of the times it ends up being forgotten about with some people still commenting "weren't you cancelled?" or "remember when you said/did this thing?"

Bonus points if you've seen the teachers on tiktok complaining about students falling behind and not even knowing how to read.

they practically already have

the retarded "everything is political and everyone needs to have their say!" crap being pushed on gullible useful idiots means people see an issue and are forced to decide which 'side' they're on within seconds, and hold onto that opinion for dear life lest they ever be wrong
as soon as say, a war breaks out, they have Got to figure out who's "the bad guy", who's "the good guy" and which repetitive talking points to speak until the thing blows over like a cornered rat trying their hardest to say the right things


these people are so bored in their lives that i swear theyll forget they exist if theyre not acknowledged, which is why they start shit constantly

I think it’s important to realize that the popularization of therapy speak isn’t even coming from actual psychotherapy by trained professionals, it’s all from laypeople presenting themselves as experts, after claiming to have a disorder that they haven’t even really been diagnosed with. (It’s also, weirdly, not new to TikTok at all. Like somebody said earlier, it was rife on Tumblr back in its peak years, and I actually remember seeing it alongside proto-social-justice crap back on LiveJournal circa 2007. It's just reaching broader audiences now.)

Which is another, closely related TikTok (and YouTube and Instagram) behavioral phenomenon: People posing as experts on some topic, typically because they claim to be sufferers of it, and then making videos to “educate” you about it. Even in the instance where the person truly has the issue in question… how does being autistic make you an expert on all cases of autism, everywhere? And yet, people eat that shit up.

A prime example of this is the so-called DID community. Recently, an actual doctor who works with actual patients with dissociative disorders gave a presentation to other medical professionals about the online DID community. The DID community flipped their shit (because they're the real experts here, of course), and the institution that gave the presentation actually ended up pulling the video of it from public view.

I'm glad you mentioned DID. We are so obsessed with letting people identify how they want that we literally can't question the fantastical, iatrogenic DID diagnosis. DID is not a real thing as commonly portrayed, full stop, but the DID community--mostly women seeking attention--has a lot of control over psychology because psychologists are worthless fucking wimps that won't rock the boat. We literally are letting the inmates run the asylum.

There was a woman called Lauren the Mortician who has been involved in a bunch of Tiktok drama, including basically swatting people by calling totally unnecessary wellness checks, who poses as an expert mortician. In reality, she only apprenticed a couple years at her dad's home and then quit to have kids.
She apprenticed at a funeral home in a small town but has made up like 30 stories of supposedly preparing dead children for her Tiktoks, but that would be unlikely in a town of her size. She claims she is the one who informs people that their loved one passed away and is called to the scenes of crimes, which is what forensic investigators do, not morticians.
Why even go by "Lauren THE MORTICIAN" if you don't actively practice? This is who Tiktokers accepted as an expert?
Despite all this, it took her liking "TERF" and homophobic content on insta to be canceled. She was corrected by a homosexual male car seat expert about a car seat review and insinuated he was a creep for having car seats and high chairs in his home, even though he's just doing his job. Also that mommy's intuition knows better than a MAN! This spergout made people look into her likes, but everyone seems to care about her "problematic" likes the most, which is just weird to me.
