TikTok Is All About Fat Shaming These Days
I was driving with my 13 year old daughter on Saturday and we were just chatting. I asked her what was trending these days on her TikTok stream (in the past she'd been served up antisemitism)? Apparently it's fat shaming Lizzo. I asked her to share some videos with me. She sent over 10 in less than a minute. Some representative examples to follow, but all this to say, TikTok, while hugely entertaining, is a cesspool of hate and bullying, and if your children use it, probably worth asking them every once in a while what's trending on their streams so that you can take the time at least to talk about it.
