> “flow of indecent materials“
Lmao. I only started using TT again recently. The amount of “thot” content is insane. Only after carefully engaging with interesting topics did its frequency decrease (yes, decrease. Not eliminates).
TT algo tries to sneak in a new thot creator every now and then.
- 6stringmerc 3y agoSee I totally get your technique and report on this and thank you. I've done a write up on some free/pay dating apps and the tactics are definitely there. Like this is a community that knows what's up and still kinda skates around it.
- aembleton 3y agoWhat's thot?

- consp 3y agohttps://knowyourmeme.com/memes/thot https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/thot should give you some insight.
- graftak 3y agoPeople promoting their onlyfans content with suggestive videos.
- Biganon 3y agoAn ancient Egyptian deity, and (unrelatedly) a misogynistic term to describe a woman who has the audacity to be sexually active
- hyperdunc 3y agoNo, it's a woman who uses her sexual allure to attract and extract money from lonely boys.
- ljm 3y agoThey're not wrong that it is rooted in misogyny, considering that you don't really use 'whore' or 'ho' with positive connotations. Not to mention that terms like thot are more likely to be found in incel communities these days, which is hardly a glowing endorsement of the term being used with good intentions. As someone else said, at least 'thirst trap' doesn't lay it squarely at the feet of women, as if men aren't capable of doing the same.
- failingslowly 3y agoI would ask, why shouldn't it be laid squarely at the feet of these women? This is something that a particular type of woman does to vulnerable men. These men ought to have our sympathy rather than being labelled as "incels", a term which so easily lets us avoid viewing them as victims. Similarly, these women ought to be held responsible for their actions. People seem to be more concerned with the perceived misogyny of, at worst, a mildly offensive word than the systematic exploitation of vulnerable members of society.
- tokai 3y agoBecause male thirst traps also exist. Maybe even worse for women as they are more likely to be victims of online romance scams.
- ljm 3y agoYou seem to be making the case that there is a systematic exploitation of a group of people we refer to as incels. Nobody is exploiting those people. They're exploiting themselves.
- Biganon 3y ago"A woman considered to be sexually provocative or promiscuous; a slut or whore" (Dictionary.com) "A girl who is looked at as a hoe or slut." (Urban Dictionary) "A slut, a woman who is sexually promiscuous." (Wiktionary) "A promiscuous woman" (Collins) Nowhere does it say a thot "attracts and extracts money from lonely boys". The behavior of a "thot" is not immoral, she is simply sexually active / promiscuous. Using this term in a derogatory manner is misogynistic, just like "slut". Downvote me all you want.

- hnbad 3y agoI find that TikTok's algorithm is actually excellent at pigeonholing you depending on what you pay attention to. The only "thot" content I ever see is when TikTok decides to push (geographically localized) live chats on me (which is 50% thirst traps and 50% neo-nazi where I am, apparently). But I have consistently swiped away anything I don't want to see more of as soon as I can. If anything, the problem for me now is that TikTok is so narrow in what it shows me that I barely ever get anything new (thematically) and when I do TikTok instantly tries to make it its entire focus if I dare engage with it at all.
- ramon156 3y agoI only got thristtraps in the first week or so, after that I just get memes. Maybe you shouldn't hit like on all of them (;
- tokai 3y agoThirst trap is a better term imo. Both gender neutral and describes the nature of the content better.
