 literally what are you talking about 😂 i’ve been on tiktok for years without seeing anything “making kids do weird shit” 

i’ve been gay before tiktok was ever a thing so 
 Really? Literally every crazy challenges they do started from TikTok 😂 
 what challenges? pls with link and proof bc i sincerely don’t know what you are referring to. i didn’t know there were GAY challenges 
 Too many to name. Benadryl challenge, blackout challenge, penny challenge etc 
 these challenges make you GAY AND TRANS? 😭 
 No. I said I don’t like the trans and queer stuff in addition to weird shits that propagate there 
 you follow me on here and i’m gay 
 I have no problem with gay or trans people, but when kids are manipulated by an algorithm controlled by the Commies, we have a serious problem 
 that’s not the apps problem though, parents should be monitoring what their kids are seeing. we can’t blame the apps for parents not doing their job 
 Obviously you are not a parent 😁 there is no way to monitor your kids 24/7 
 i understand, but talking to them about what they might see on these apps and be open about it might help them be more comfortable with themselves rather than needing an algorithm to tell them what to do. 🫂 
 Back in 1995, we banned TV from our home for similar toxicity reasons.  Unfortunately,  they got exposed to the gross stuff at neighbor kids' homes.  That wasn't as much of a problem as less objectionable programming - "Daddy, why can't we watch American Idol like everyone else?"  (2002)
