**casually sits here and looks at your beautiful face for 15 minutes**
it's so disgusting how you think it's okay, and it's not because its disgusting how tony was with LITERAL children like 15 and he's *17* but it's ok bcs social media's not going to be there for long anyways
Yup. I just remembered that society have their own standards of beauty no matter what Era you live in. Also, way back in Renaissance Period what considered as beauty is someone who have Fuller physical Features. Rather than thin ones they are seen as not so pretty so beauty standards really depends on what kind of society you live in the present time.
Hey, you! Yes. I mean YOU! GO. TO. ALT. TIK. TOK. xd ✨🖤
I become sooo insecure about myself when i caught my boyfriend lying to me about watching sexy girls dancing on Tiktok . It hurts me soo bad . I knew maybe some people will say it's a normal thing but i have trauma in the past and i really can't deal with that . And now i don't know if i still want to be with him or not because everytime i see pretty girls whether it's on tiktok or ig , i will be sad and crying .
We have all been conditioned to believe what is “beautiful”. It’s a shame. Live outside of the matrix peeps. You are beautiful, all different shapes. No one shape is more beautiful, that is an OPINION. Killer video! Love to see others enlightening people about the unhealthy parts in social media. I’m a millennial, and I was born in 1992. I got to see how social media has affected kids growing up, even myself. Starting MySpace in 7th grade.. it was a trip. To have such access to everything... comparing myself to more talented and beautiful people than I’d ever seen.. I got off social media. I love RSworld for learning and information. Getting off Instagram and Facebook significantly improved my mental health and soul. I won’t even dare mess with tik tok. I’ve escaped my addiction to social media... if you can maintain a healthy balance with it, props. It’s built to affect our brains like drugs. Get us addicted, and slowly over time, we go from scrolling for maybe 15 min a day, to HOURS and hours.. these companies learn how to manipulate us and addict us, so THEY can get rich. It’s fucked. Most people cannot balance it in a healthy way... just like drugs and booze and porn.. tiz a shame. They know how to manipulate us very well. Luckily, sharing information like this video is a great start to ending and transcending this bullshit :’)
I am so glad I watched this! It like really verbalized what I've been subconciously feeling for a long long time. Thank you!!! And I really love your makeup!
*when you just have tik Tok to see art/Weeb tik toks* W-what?-
Please REACT TO STRAIGHT TIKTOK!!!!
I deleted tiktok bc my fyp was bad as hell but then i switched to my insta reels who were worse
All the people that disliked this are the supposedly "hot people" of tiktok.
I hate my generation. . .I’m sorry you you guys have to deal with our scuse my languagE BULLSHIT
i quit tiktok cuz of hate
Love the look
then boys say "its just a face" blah blah blah yet they make us insecure abt it.
Wow.
why tf would anyone dislike this video lmao she's just laying down hella facts
People like symmetrical things. The golden cut. It's a natural thing. And faces with more symmetry tend to be perceived as more attractive cause of that. It isn't smth that was just suddenly made up. It really is a thing.
I just want say you look absolutely ✨fabulous✨ and I agree with stupid beauty standards. That's way I stay on cosplay and art tik too. The place with real talent and creativity
Forget tik tok, HOW DO YOU GET ELF EARS? I *N E E D*
i posted a tiktok while wearing a crop top and some kinda low waisted jeans to normalize medium girls since my stomach is a bit chubby and it got deleted for breaking the guidelines for nudity... while some girls (often skinny) can dance in bikinis
im a 40 year old black woman. i came across this conclusion when i tried streaming a long time ago. americans dont want to see black people in media like tik tok or youtube except to create a trend that they can use and profit out of. thats why i stopped streaming. it didnt matter if i dressed slutty, or showed my actual gaming skill, at the end of the day, all my viewership would flock to pretty white ladies or white guys with beards that provided little to no effort. im tired of having to struggle in life for legitimate reasons to then struggle in this platform. essentially ive got no patience for vapid people, so i stay out of areas that they populate.
Never been on tik tok and i never will
You go gurl!
so should i uninstall tiktok? i mean its true im insecure and tiktok + other social medias just shot my insecurities and new ones through the roof but thats the only thing i do in my free time so i dont know what else i would do [ also i dont think this is related but im 11 ] :
I LOVE YOUR LASHES hahaha
So like people should not post their bodies on tiktok if it meets the conventional beauty standards or what I don’t understand lol
Well, I'm proud that I never used Tiktok. I'm not confident enough but at least I'm not crying just because my face is not "SyMmeTRiCal"
OMG you LOOK SOOOO CUTE
i saw this girl on instagram and she’s pretty popular on tiktok but she posted a pic with the caption “comment if you’re cute” but she had the comments turned off i mean it could’ve just been a “joke” or whatever but ngl that’s kinda hurtful to some
ngl the face trends sound like eugenics 101
Your makeup IS SO BEAUTIFUL
Please, the name of the beat at the beginning of the vidéo😩😻
I thought people genuinely became more beautiful 😭 and was feeling a little inadequate. Whereas I am a 26 year old who was FEELING HERSELF PRIOR. Honestly the most good looking people I know and have ever seen... cannot compare, it puts the most most good looking people in the world viral. It's not normal and a real representation of humans! Sounds like a stupid rant however do you comoare yourself? Yes, that's why you're here. XD
11:10 oh so tiktok is racist, got it
Just delete TikTok
i miss the days when teenagers used to play hide and seek and video games
HeloOoOoOoO Your makeup looks so bOotifull! 🤩
She be sitting here, looking gorgeous like holy moly, and still she's comforting people Like wow I'd have a man crush on you if I knew you thank you so much
Good analysis! I also watch tiktok just by the outside and I'm always curios how social media works and their influnce. I also think we need to talk how some trends are really dangerous and borderline. :/ Some days ago, in Italy, a 10yo girl died for trying to emulate the "blackout challenge" in tiktok. Don't wanna put all the blame on tiktok nor on the parents, but I personally think this is a sign that we need a new digital education for the young. We can spend a lot of time talking wich age is better to have the first cell with a internet connesion, but if there's no education it's all pointless. And of course, tiktok could maybe put a little effort to try shut down trends like this ಠ_ಠ
This is literally every social media outlet not just tiktok lol
Thats why *i hate* normal tiktok and im always on BTS tiktok, thank god ive only run into 1 video about those trends in my 2 years on tiktok-
For some reason I didn't even notice the ears at first, they looked so natural and blend with your skin tone so well. I think I'm too used to seeing things like fangs, ears, etc that it's just normal now and it's pretty cool.
Such a good video. And talking about beauty. I love your uniqueness
K I luv the make up look tho
I see monokuma, I subscribe. That is all
Gen Z is gonna be so f*cked.
Good thing tiktok got banned in India 😌
When u spend more time on pinterest than all of those apps and it ain't toxic and stuff
@• aesthetic • facts
I think Pinterest is more non-toxic than all of these apps combined.
Just want to clarify that Bella Poarch didn’t went viral for being pretty (i mean prolly ye) but not the reason, a guy did a duet to the bee video and said he would like to throw her something and k her so she duets that crying, it gets to local feminist tik tok and goes viral bc ppl are supporting her
That’s why black people never get so viral 🤭🤭🤭
Dude why tf she so pretty-
Don’t ever compare lil nas to charli lmfaoo
I've struggled with my image for so long and I've noticed that me ignoring tik tok made me increase my confidence and esteem while girls in my school who use tik tok are extremely insecure about themselves
Literally cried one time because I saw someone on TikTok that was just absolutely gorgeous and I realized that I'd never be that pretty and I'd never be able to get as many likes or views as them.
ALL my friend: OMGASH DO YOU HAVE TIKTOK WHATS UR TIKTOK YOU HAVE TOSEE THIS HACK LEMME SEND IT TO YOU WHATS YIUR ACCIUNT?!?}!286^_5$]$8$5$[{! Me: *gone, reduced to atoms,in fact it was never there anyway-*
I worked so hard to build my self esteem and I’ve felt beautiful for many years. Then tiktok made me question that..
And the Gacha community (it's improving) but a lot of videos were making me extremely upset and I've literally had to take a week off of Gacha :/ but nobody did anything wrong I'm just very sensitive 😅
Once before I had scrolled so far it said you have reached the end.... How idk
*M o N o K u M a*
I’m so glad I quit TikTok before I got addicted
"Omg i feel so bad watching those threads 😢" Then stop watching?? You cant just get out of a app?
I'm technically Gen Z (1999) but I'm so scared for our teens. Self-hatred has become so normalized and 14 year olds joking about hating themselves breaks my heart.
These tiktoks don't get banned but the BLM and LGBTQ ones do. The algorithm sucks.
Girl your hair is beautiful!
I disagree that the virality algorithm is not bad in and of itself. In order to push someone up someone else has to be pushed down.
Another problem I've noticed is that if we try to do something new and share our creativity (like cosplay and/or storytelling) it doesn't even go into any algorithm, gets zero views, or sometimes even gets taken down. Like Tiktok, babe, cosplay isn't the issue with your app.
good thing its banned where i live
you explain better then my science teacher
I usually just use tiktok to weeb out
Cactus girl💕💕 how did u do it
tiktok used to be a fun app and it wasn't always abt dances and drama and doing dangerous things or clout tor hype it was all abt having fun and not being forced or just posting on tiktok bc of likes veiws an comments the trends used to be so fun and it used to be creative everything has changes and all tiktokers do now is dance and cause drama and people hate and are toxic. looking at my fyp was like a hobby to me lmao now its all drama, politics,, dancing etc
Your makeup is actually so pretty!! 😶😶
Stan you for the monokuma intro
This is why youtube is the only app that i like...
Your face is really not supposed to be symmetrical
Due to covid more people are scrolling through tick tock more than ever, and because of these beauty standards, teen suicide rates have broken records.
I wish i was as beautiful as Charli D'Amelio, With that perfect slim face and long black hair.
Very good message. Also bruh you look hella cool
Hey guys. I’m from Kazakhstan. I found this channel and it’s very interesting that “salem tovar” in Kazakhstan literally translated as “hello, product” . Hahaha😊😊😅😅😅
There’s even the “plastic surgery check” which makes me want to get them..
i remember my classmates doing these types of stuff in the class and i would just cringe in the corner eating chips. im so lucky to be humbled by youtube and these types of videos =)))
I have never used tiktok but my boyfriend does, all I have to do is look over his shoulder for 30 seconds before I start feeling insecure. Not in a super serious 'i hate myself' kind of way, but because it's just attractive slender very young looking women essentially doing nothing but having you look at them....moving kinda? it's ridiculous and silly but it makes me feel bad. Learning about this beauty algorithm just makes it laughable for me. They just fit a standard and people love it.
I agree with everything you've said. Stellar analysis as always. But those sleeves are FIRE. I WANT
That's why I deleted TikTok I got addicted, and it was distracting me from my goals
Great video! Could you cite your sources?
Maybe it’s because I’m not on tik tok but what is straight people culture and why should it not be reinforced? What about it makes it damaging? I’ve never heard of this concept before.
Is it just me or am I the only one focusing on her makeup and good it is?? Anybody??
I pretty much gave up on TikTok because I’m not a skinny white girl😌
can i suggest an alternative title: beautiful people are beautiful, but im not one of them bruh-bruh
And with the “senpaku eyes”
i LOVE your look, your makeup is stunning!
Here you go: a sub UWU
Why I deleted it(half of the reason)😬
amazing video super interesting to listen to but GIRL i CANNOT take my eyes off of your hair and makeup!
If the tik toks need to stop.... Then u are illegal Literally so pretty
why is no one talking about how amazing this makeup look is ??? go off babe ❤️
Omg monokuma
not watched the full video yet, but i noticed that i wanted to eat less while i had tik tok. after i deleted it, my confidence went back to normal again..
I'm glad I don't have tik tok
I’ve reached the bottom of my fyp before
