I totally understand wanting the thing you like to become popular. You get to share what you love with other people, build connections based on a shared interest, and fan works are petty cool too sometimes I guess. But man, it's pretty sick just enjoying a piece of relatively niche art in peace and moving on.
Otherside Picnic's use of first person feels less like an deep dive into a character's psyche and more like a hostage situation.
Sawaro Kamikoshi is the funniest protagonists to ever do it.
why should I care that the ccp is collecting my data?
If we exclude the concept that TikTok could be accessing data on your phone that it isn't supposed to get without permission (contact data, health data, whatever) I think there's a lot of triangulation that could be done to narrow down your data to something very individual, right? Like, for example, your location data could be matched with your content to figure out things like "oh, you're recording this in front of a military base, now we can cross-reference that with what we already know about this nation's military capability" and so on.
I don't think most people operate in any sensitive areas when posting to tiktok, so that's kind of whatever, but... I don't know, maybe soldiers shouldn't use tiktok while on a military base or something. At least that's the best I can do when trying to come up with a specific reason here.
For me the catch is hey, sure, yeah, I don't want Bytedance to have a ton of personal data on me. But also I don't want fucking Facebook, Google, Amazon, Yahoo!, Ask Jeeves, RaytheonKidz.biz, or the United States fuckin' Government to have any of that data, either! Biden just issued an executive order this morning about personal data falling into the hands of "countries of concern" and motherfucker I'm like YEAH LIKE THE US OF FUCKIN' A, MAYBE? THE ONE I'M MOST CONCERNED ABOUT?
Like I don't want China or Russia getting their hands on a bunch of information about me, but in a world where US-based politicians are already attacking medical procedures and science to make things like gender-affirming care and abortion illegal, all that location data and content could have some very scary uses down the line. And that crackdown won't come from fucking China.
Eve Birdie wing is the embodiment of "teenage cis girl shouting 'suck my dick' during an argument over who ate the last hot pocket" and I love her. She just wants to fight strong opponents in golf. Lesbian Fuckboy golf Goku.
Although, personality wise, she is closer to like a Yusuke Urameshi. Still though.
