Society is already degenerating. TicTok is just helping along the process. The biggest effect of this app is causing a skyrocketing number in narcissism.
I think its exposing cultural degeneration. Whats causing cultural degeneration is progressivism. Wanting to push the limits little by little. Eventually we end up here. With or without tik tok.
You know, I've long considered myself as somewhat liberal, but I can see where conservative values are necessary to keep progressive values in check. Right now things are swinging too far in the "do whatever you want" direction, but traditional values like integrity, honour, and courage have completely fallen to the wayside. I suspect there will be a hard swing towards traditionalism sometime in the next 15-30 years, and then eventually the traditionalists will go too far and too controlling, so the liberal thinkers will once again serve a purpose to bring creativity and expression etc. Seems like most democratic societies cycle between these two polar 'energies' every 20-30 years or so. TikTok is just another symptom of the fact the "do whatever you want" ethos has gone too far.
@SomeGuyCalledTom i agree in general for many of your points but progressives are progressives. Change for changes sake is the motive. Right now they are ultra liberal but they can also be republican. They can't be conservative because thats anti progressive to remain unchanged. Often the best action is do nothing. We need a lot more of that in politics
I don't know never been on it. You will always get those people that are taking posing and smiling selfies when they visit an old concentration camp...:(
People have been posting clips for ages. TikTok is a recent thing. We'd still see similar content on other platforms if tiktok wasn't there. Don't think its causing cultural degeneration though.
No, people were like that even before. It is the culture of appearing that creates the problem, not an application. This culture has been rooted since the 1970s.
Just contributes to it like all social media outlets! The problem is people acting like assholes in a vain attempt to get their moment of fame, imagine how incredible the world could be if it was fashionable to be smart!

I've just seen the videos that got posted on IG of girls with huge breasts dancing like fools. It seems really stupid to me.

No more than any other social sites. Iād still blame bad parenting with majority of cultural degeneration.
Yes. That app is a whole ass mess 😣 they do stupid challenges on there. Especially the Austism challenge which is very fucked up 😤😤
Yessssssss!
It's the beginning of the end.
But, oh well...
No, people have been doing stupid shit online for years.

I don't understand your question. What is cultural Degeneration?
Absolutely, yes. That's messed up behavior, George Floyd challenge? What exactly does that do or prove or honor? Nothing.

I have never liked TikTok, I never understood its popularity.
No, people were already doing stuff like that offline and on other platforms.

Yeah but our culture was already degenerate, TikTok is just adding gasoline to the fire
Don't like it at all but it's the world we live in should we know or not, I would rather know than be unaware of it all.
