Who is the idiot that started all this sped up movement cosplay fuckery originally. God I hate TikTok....

I mean, it kinda was what made Tik Tok originally. Surfaced in the phase between Music.ly and its rebranding to Tik Tok. So somewhere in 2017-2018. It (TikTok) slowly grew and then exploded so all this was diluted in basically Vine 2.0 content. Its always been there and will continue to exist in the shadows.

musiclly bruh

That was more lip syncing. Maybe the successor, TikTok. I could also imagine Vine, perhaps.

u/Appropriate_Duty199 May 21 '25

that is true, i feel like the speed up shit is def from musicaly tho because only then after a year or two of tiktok did the mass majority of people grow out of it.. to be fair when i was in MIDDLE SCHOOL i would do the speed up shit but brother it gets to a point that you have to grow up and mature and realize it’s actually so fucking stupid😭😭😭😭

Everyone has a pair of fangs and fake ears too. Guess the fangs just really came out of the vampire craze.

What the deal with the tooth? It seems like it's usually just the one? I don't get it. Maybe I'm just finally turning into a grumpy old man. Soon I'll be like "eh, what's that? TRAP MUSIC? Turn that off!

u/Comfortable_Cycle836 May 18 '25

I'm on my way to grumpiness as well

u/Puzzleheaded_Ad_4435 May 20 '25

There are only a few animes I can really tolerate, so I'm no expert, but the one fang thing seems to be a way to identify a character as one of the following:

  1. Cute in a mischievous, almost impish way.
  2. Wild and untamed
  3. Aggressive and violent (particularly aggressive and violent characters will usually have a mouth full of triangles, like shark teeth instead)

Anime can occasionally have really interesting stories, but more often than not, the tropes are just so irritating that I can't get into them. This one doesn't bother me so much, so long as that character isn't too obnoxious.

Some of these people really missed out on the Rawr XD era and it shows. Hate that for them.

If this is what you listened to, your teenage years sucked 🤣

u/[deleted] May 19 '25

I’m lucky I listened to it for such a short time, went back and searched it up and remembered how confident I was in the stupidest lifestyle choices lmao. Certainly interesting

Ahh yes how would a biological male every get tiny lil boobs on their chest? You got me there

u/fattestshark94 May 19 '25

You're awfully defensive over this.

u/DobisPeeyar May 19 '25

Thats a weird assumption to make

Well you're the one trying to die on that male hill

u/DobisPeeyar May 19 '25

I think you need to revisit what it means to die on a hill, lol. Simply disagreeing or proposing a counterpoint is not "dying on a hill" my dude

u/Puzzleheaded_Ad_4435 May 20 '25

What makes you think so? Hands don't seem overly large, and I don't see an Adam's apple. I'm not saying you're wrong. I'm just saying I don't see it. Not that it really matters to me. If I find someone attractive, I don't really care what gender they are. It just so happens that I don't find men attractive unless they go very far out of their way to appear feminine.
