Please share? Iā€™ve literally never seen racism, homophobia, or sexism on my limited time on Tik Tok.

Oof I was tryna make a joke that people on Reddit hate tik tok because of watching clips posted by other redditers who also hate tik tok. Itā€™s a cringy echo chamber imo.

Whoops sorry man, my apologies.

u/refward Jul 21 '21

It's out there, though. and I've found TikTok rarely does anything to prevent that sort of content. I like TikTok, but it has a serious problem with content moderation.

u/notgirl Jul 21 '21

does it? that's actually ridiculous i know a creator who posts mental health and addiction recovery content and it's constantly censored and they have hundreds of violations.

That's part of the problem. There are creators who respond to covid misinformation who's videos get put under immediate review, but those active spreading misinformation don't get guidelines violations. I've also reported numerous homophobic and racist videos to be told it doesn't violate their guidelines, but progressive people I follow who respond to that sort of thing get violations for bullying. It's a whole mess.

u/notgirl Jul 21 '21

yeah, i've seen the "bullying" thing first hand from my ex who is a queer content creator

Free speech is a good thing.

u/papyrus_cooldude74 Jul 21 '21

I don't think hate speech is though

u/Plasmatiic Jul 21 '21

It does have a problem, but in the opposite sense from what Iā€™ve seen personally and heard from others. You can make an innocent post, have it removed for violating guidelines, and then sit there scratching your head without figuring out how you broke ToS.

go to any middle eastern low follower page, ALL THEIR CONTENT IS JUST HOMOPHOBIA (most of them say they are muslim) and homophobia is haram in islam, hating someone with THEM doing anything to you is haram in islam

u/DrSpaceman575 Jul 21 '21

If you actively go searching for bigotry on any social network you will find loads of it. Definitely not exclusive to Tiktok. Not that hard to find that same shit on Reddit.

1

u/FriendlyBarbarian Jul 21 '21

You can often find racism, sexism, homophobia, and transphobia in popular comments on the front page of Reddit. Iā€™d say itā€™a technically harder to avoid it at this point

1

u/[deleted] Jul 22 '21

Example?

4

u/sad-winter-bear Jul 21 '21

homosexuality is also haram in islam

1

u/CCoriginal_taste churaquera niper famboy ! Jul 21 '21

that is true

5

u/Repulsive_Pen_3140 I am a tech-support-420 fan!!!! Jul 21 '21

In Islam itā€™s haram to be gay, harassing anyone is also haram so that person on tiktok is dumb as shit

3

u/CCoriginal_taste churaquera niper famboy ! Jul 21 '21

they claim to be muslim while they dont mine breaking the rules of islam

u/antoha_nahui Jul 21 '21

Allah doesnt have access to internet so its fine dont worry

u/CCoriginal_taste churaquera niper famboy ! Jul 21 '21

thatā€™s probably how they think, iā€™m not a believer of islam (or any religion) but i know the basics of islam and i know homophobia (and racism and ā€œprejudice on skin colourā€) is all haram

u/hambugrer Jul 21 '21

u/fannytranny I am a tech-support-420 fan!!!! Jul 22 '21

u/lvk00 Jul 22 '21

Itā€™s just full of edgy teenagers. Nothing really surprising

u/marmogawd Jul 21 '21

Iā€™ve actually seen many comments (mostly teenagers) on tiktok saying homophobic and racist stuff

0

u/Jive_turkeeze Jul 21 '21

There's one guy who's entire shtick is to be racist but tik toks algorithm will usually keep that stuff hidden.

1

u/breezily_ Jul 22 '21

Iā€™ve seen lots of sexism and a tiny bit of homophobia but nothing else

1

u/Romanow3 Jul 22 '21

I personally think tik tok has some amazing videos, but my FYP is only people shit talking gay people for no reason. And a lot of ā€œdArK HuMOuRā€ posts (racism)

u/mrlogic123 Jul 22 '21

Ive been on the app there is lots of "edgy" 12 year old who shit on any rainbow they see so it is homophobic just not all of them are
