Scratch Monkey posted:Guys this tiktok live thing has my head spinning. I actually lost sleep last night because it was just so unfathomable. It’s combination of degradation and stupidity that blow my mind. Why? Why?! I understand that it's the tiktok-friendly PG-13 version of porn cams, but that still doesn't fully explain it. The best I can come up with is that it's weaponized form of parasocial relationships - it's a way to directly interact with someone you like/find attractive/admire/whatever .

Does drilling a hole in your skull make those TikToks go away? Asking for a friend.

Video game npcs are usually written to have some measure of dignity and personality, unlike these social media... what do you even call them, it's not even influencers

I think it's the weird, anime-like infantilization of these women that creeps me out. It turns them into little girls making silly sounds for the pleasure of their (almost certainly) entirely male audience. It's gross.

Cartoon Man posted:Somebody recently reminded me that this made it into an actual Sonic game from 2006. This is worse. More cursed than drilling holes in your head, more cursed than the sea worm. Worse than drilling a hole in your head and dropping a sea worm into your brain. This is more cursed than the TikTok thing or the Titan fleshlight. This moment from a real Sonic game is the lowest point in human history and is the primary cause of all psychic damage.

Make fun of the weird NPC-acting TikTockers all you want but they're making a lot of money to do almost nothing. I'm an overweight hairy dude and if people wanted to pay me $200/hr to pretend to eat emojis I would in a heartbeat. The world sucks major poo poo but at least I could buy a hot tub.

They're just getting paid, and good for them. It's the fact that they have audience at all that's a little....concerning.

Yes, some jobs like factory worker, artist or truck driver will disappear, but new job like TikTok emoji eating mime will take their place. There will always be jobs, there will always be something for you to do in society.

Unfortunately, I do not have the necessary skills (a huge set of knockers) to be a TikTok emoji eating mime.

You can still be an artist in the age of AI. Just draw over that procedurally generated poo poo and take it. What's a robot gonna do about it, sue you?

By drawing over the art in your own style, you make it transformative and can claim that it's a parody of the original. Or however Fair Use is supposed to work. Andy Warhol would probably have had a field day with it.
