tiktok is such an awful app, it's almost designed to feed you misinformation and expose you to insane discourse. unlike beloved tumblr, the app that feeds me misinformation and exposes me to insane discourse

youreinthewind

on tumblr you can have anonymous discourse and never have to worry about seeing your face spread and posted on every social media platform open to be mocked or nitpicked.

one hit video on tiktok gets rid of your anonymity, regardless if you had good intentions there are those who like your video then will turn against you when other start to hate and bully you.

and every couple years or months, your hit video will circulate to again be used against you.

Certain words can change your brain forever and ever so you do have to be very careful about it.
