![]() ![]() ![]() The feeling of being wanted and the sense of breaking rules because you weren’t supposed to talk to strangers on the internet. And like every other teen in history, I loved the attention. This was way back in 2010 and TikTok wasn’t a thing yet.īut was. I’ve been the kid who got asked for her nudes by men who were definitely twice her age. Unfortunately, child grooming on the internet isn’t new There are, however, a million ways to get the message across that don’t put them in vulnerable positions. Yes, we want girls to know they own their bodies. It tells girls they need to be objectified to be “liked” and boys that it is okay to objectify them. It’s the lurking pedophile that makes it dangerous and is 100% to blame.īut we can’t ignore the implication of letting 11-year old’s gyrate and hump the floor on camera for likes. Pushing their boundaries and seeking approval. That would be very unfeminist of me & just downright insane.Ĭhildren are on there having fun and doing what kids do. Not before then.Īll of this almost sounds like I’m the responsibility on kids and not predators who target children. IN PRIVATE.Īll of this sets you up for the autonomy you are entitled to as a consenting adult. But autonomy you’re allowed looks very different at 15 VS what you get in your 20s.Īt 15 autonomy means you should be able to explore your sexual and gender identity in a safe space, have the privacy to explore who you are, and experiment. Yes, everyone deserves autonomy over their own body. So yeah, I have a gender studies degree, please refrain from telling me how the internet has taught you better. I didn’t think one would need a degree in gender studies to be allowed to discuss the following but it is the internet after all. Sometimes the creator themselves respond with a video talking about feminism. It’s filled with people commenting about how they’re too young to be twerking on camera or making suggestive poses or discussing sex in explicit detail on the internet.īut just as those comments are a given there will certainly be a ton of other kids defending the creator saying it’s her body and her choice what she does with it. When my curiosity gets the best of me, I’ll take a look at the comment section on these kids’ profiles. I’ve just decided to not crush until I get some sort of age confirmation now. It’s happened a little too many times for comfort. Go to her profile only to find out she’s 15. Sometimes I’ll be scrolling through TikTok and a girl looking real fine pops up on my FYP. Owning your sexuality at 20 & 15 are incredibly different things Kids know to stay away from overt danger, but who said anything about the nice man comforting them? Predators don’t necessarily come off dangerous - which is arguably the thing that makes them so dangerous. Obviously trying to establish some sort of a bond with the child. Her daughter had posted a video talking about self-harm and this older man was in her direct messages telling her she was beautiful and comforting here. The other day I was reading about this mom who found out her 11-year-old was being groomed on TikTok. Within the week, TikTok will flood this person’s FYP with nothing but videos of underage girls. Their first few days on the platform they hit like on specific hashtags and sounds younger girls use on the platform. ![]() Think about how a sexual predator might use that. ![]() If you’ve spent more than a few days on TikTok, you’re familiar with their insanely accurate algorithm that curates the most specific “for you page” or FYP. Sexual predator’s just got a very personalized search engine ![]()
