I think a huge part of it is that music videos in general are highly sexualised. Vine isn't about just music videos, you can post whatever. TikTok is specifically for music videos, so kids will see popular music videos where celebs are scantily dressed or whatever, and then emulate it. And then other kids come along and see what their friends are posting and want to do it too, and the cycle just continues. Add to that the fact it isn't US based (and so probably isn't moderated as heavily) and you get what we have now.
edit: confused by the down votes. Not sure what is being disagreed with? Miley cyrus wearing so little you can see her bum cheeks is what I'd consider sexualised. Maybe you don't? Do you think it's okay for 12 year olds to be posting that on TikTok? Am I just a prude?
- mistermann 7y agoI saw nothing remarkable at all for your search term.
- Thorentis 7y agoWell, it isn't something I search regularly so perhaps not accurate. Or perhaps YouTube has started removing some videos? I remember seeing a lot of fuss made about this in the YouTube community about a year ago. At work now and not really keen to add that search to my history, but might see if anything has changed later.
- viraptor 7y agoI'm confused by people today in general. On one hand side, yes... tiktok videos seem to be full of highly sexualised teens, which they may regret later. On the other, is it that much worse than what you find by searching for "kids ballet" on YouTube (approved and posted by their parents and teachers)? Tiktok seems like an enabler, but it doesn't look like the reason videos like that exist. I wish this wasn't really want the prude part, but about: should those videos be globally available forever without teens understanding the issue with that.
