it pisses me off when tiktok takes words and strips them of meaning to reassign it a completely different one. they're literally taking meaning from words just to create synonyms of the same three words and it makes me irrationally upset

then again what can I really expect from a community that is like 80% illiterate in any meaningful way

Ranting about alterhuman stuff // Ok but like I don’t think it’s awesome when people will be talking about Otherlink but then only bring up copinglink ,, or even use the two terms synonymously ? Because those r separate terms. One is a more general term and the other is a specific term within that community yk -?

Funlink is still Otherlink . Aeslink is still Otherlink . And all other Otherlink terms are still Otherlink . So why exclude them ? Do you think those who use these terms are “ less valid “ than copinglink ?

Like I don’t really see Otherlink being mentioned much at all compared to other alterhuman terms like Therian and Otherkin ,, so it just kinda sucks that when we do get rep it’s only copinglink ? Idk gang I just get kinda mad when I see Otherlink stuff but it’s only copinglink I’m just kinda sick of it yk

Gang please let us have fun + have rep 💔 /silly

(( this isn’t rlly an open discussion so please don’t comment / reblog with that kinda stuff ,, mainly if it’s against it or wtv ))

Little rant since I’m trying to figure out what to draw on my shoes (also this isn’t a pity post or anything about me wanting more attention, I just want to ramble :3)

The world of social media baffles me when it comes to tumblr and pinterest. In addition to stolen content (which I’ll get to later), putting your mark out on the internet is so much harder than most would think. Commonly, influencers, people promoting products (hehe tongue twister), models, and singers are the ones whose content is boosted and spread to others. Not to say some of these people aren’t talented, but most of those on social media who spread creativity or knowledge are snubbed in comparison. Although some people can take years off of their channel for their personal life and continue to thrive and profit, others have to apologize and try to compensate for their lack of content. From my own hiatus and what I’ve seen from people I follow who have taken a break for themselves, it is nearly impossible to build back up the reputation we once had. Whether followers who had praised your content since your beginning start to unfollow, or your likes just aren’t what they used to be, promoting your career or hobbies is so hard after a break.

As for what I was mentioning in my opening, stolen content, specifically on pinterest, is at a concerning level now. Various artists I follow, whether they have this app or not, I’ve seen have many of their artwork on there without their permission. Plus, if they don’t have it, they have to hope someone tells them someone is reposting their content without their knowledge. Many times in these cases, the reposters don’t credit or will censor any watermarks in a hope to convince others it’s their own pieces. When asked for who created it, I usually see one of three responses:

1. The reposter will title it “Not mine!” and say they aren’t aware who made it. However, if you’re sharing someone else’s art on another platform, 1. Why post it at all?? 2. If you don’t know who made it, why reupload it knowing it’s not your own?

2. They will claim it’s their own, even when others call them out in the comments. This, however, often leads to the comments getting turned off.

And 3. There will be a simple, or no title at all, and comments will be turned off. As for the creator, this prevents any possible means of credit as well as all of the saves or likes to go to someone who didn’t put in any work.

Plus, if I or others want any chance to get back our art or to regain the community we’ve lost, we have to constantly push ourselves to make more art or more videos to please those upset we were gone for so long.

I have pretty negative views on reposting. I just don’t see how it does anyone any good. The reuploaders are usually immature about taking someone else’s content, the creator doesn’t get the reactions, and any form of interaction with the content goes to someone who did NOTHING. They literally just copy pasted a photo and get hundreds of likes! It’s infuriating as an artist myself to come across art that makes my jaw drop, only to find out it was uploaded 3 years ago by unknown_user with a singular comment on the post asking “where can I find the artist” with NO REPLIES. Plus, since it’s not exactly illegal, they can just get away with it while some people think the art is that persons. I hate it so much y’all don’t even know 🫩

As for this post itself, it’s mainly a critique as to social media as a whole from my personal experiences and what I’ve seen occur to others. Although the capability to share more about yourself and your interests is extremely beneficial to those regardless of their ability to communicate socially with others (social anxiety is great ;-;). However, the amount of dishonesty, stealing content, and drama can lead to ruin for it as a whole. Although I won’t cover the effects of social media on teenagers, mental health, or perspective since that would need another post, it’s important to take these into consideration as well. In addition, although I LOVE being able to share my own content on here, it sucks that my own work often goes unseen and receives little reactions just as thousands of others on here. Moral of the story, support young artists, talented creators, small businesses, and anyone else who makes you smile to see their work.

That’s all for now folks.

/neg rant:

I have this online friend for almost two or three years now and he follows my TikTok. I like posting stories bc I started to feel like people actually like listening to my thoughts and what's going on with me. Today, I posted the most stories I've had (8) ever since I got TikTok (about a month ago) and I get a text smth like, "how many stories do you post?" I answer with: "just as many as I want to" and he replies with, "so just a shit ton every day", and it made me feel terrible and like I'm annoying as hell and that I should just shut up. A few minutes later, he texts me on Discord about some fuck ass hockey team I don't even care about that I've been listening to him talk about (because it makes him happy to yap ab it). I'm still in a bad mood and still overthinking about the conversation earlier, and he's trying to get me to chant with him a FEW MINUTES after he MADE ME FEEL LIKE SHIT. I text, "I'm not in the mood right now, sorry." And he replies with smth like, "dude, what? It's just a chant" and it made me feel even more invalid. A week or two ago, he vented to me about how I made him feel like a bad friend and that I'm one of his best and closest friends. I felt bad, apologized, and promised to text more and try to be more available, and this is how we start talking again? I have had good times with him, even while he had a huge ass ego, and when I would tell him that I didn't want to call for anxiety reasons, he understood, so naturally, I would feel bad if I were to cut off my friendship with him. Plus it's almost been two or three years, so I don't want to just stop talking to him, and I still want to be friends with him. I just really hope that he soon understands just how much these things effect me and my confidence to share my interests and thoughts online.

(Nette, if you're seeing this, this obviously isn't ab you, dw, you're amazing and I love you /p, you're one of the better online friends <3)
