Shamelessly posting for traffic.

I have wondered all day whether to post this or not but ultimately it might help save one person from viewing something they shouldn't.

For every single one of you who allows your young child to use TikTok please be aware that there is a video circulating today of a man committing suicide. Yes, he did it in a live stream and the video is all over the place now. TikTok is that one social that you cannot prevent you children from seeing ANY content. If you allow them the app you allow them the content.

Get your child off the app now unless you wanted them traumatised for life after watching someone shoot their brains quite literally out.

Maybe I'm jaded but surely the internet is full of content like this? Do people not remember Liveleak and "shock videos"? If it's not on Tiktok then it will be on some other platform.

Ah fuck it then, let’s give up and let our children go through huge trauma seeing things no one should ever see. I wonder what kind of adults they will grow up to be?
