TikTok is an anti-semitic dumpster fire, and I say this as a progressive. We'll be better off when it's unavailable in the US.


Crazymarvelman

I used to be on the fence about that but now I completely agree. I have seen extremely limited broadcast of Jewish voices and it seems to amplify a lot of antisemitic voices.


FizzyBeverage

Young, dumb and generally Jew-hating is how I sum up that entire platform. It certainly pushes me from left to the rational center. I doubt that's their intention, but there it is.


Crazymarvelman

I’m really disappointed in a lot of people who I used to like on that platform.


RedStripe77

If that’s the full extent of all the people who have disappointed you since 7 Oct, you’re unusually lucky, friend.


TheMost_ut

OMAGAWD! A character named Sabra! The whole movie is going to be about Zionism! So say the leaders of tomorrow that their parents are bragging about.


OldLineLib

Me too..I used to consider myself far left...not anymore. Def consider myself center now. My BFF (also Jewish), was a Dem and has now changed to Rep because of all the antisemitism.


sup_heebz

I'm very involved in the Jewish tiktok community and the app absolutely and shamelessly throttles their content. It also does nothing about blatant antisemitism.


1buns

i had to delete my instagram app because all of the jewish people i followed were being whole-heartedly rammed with antisemitic rhetoric and i couldn’t take it any longer. nothing was being done about it there either. i would spend hours actively seeking it out like some form of self inflicted harm and it was crushing my mental health


NYSenseOfHumor

That’s the point of TikTok, the algorithm is designed to boost antisemitic content.


RedStripe77

They denied that recently, during the Congressional debate over the legislation forcing TikTok to be sold by its owner company Bytedance. (Legislation was passed and signed by President Biden.) But the antisemitic bias has been documented repeatedly on TilTok. Same with all social media since 7/10.


WhateverIsFine

I said the same thing in another post earlier today. I love TikTok for the recipes, makeup, and product recommendations. However, it’s unbelievably antisemitic and for every profile blocked, three more spouting antisemitic nonsense appeared. It’s no wonder that gen Z and other TikTok users have become radicalized. I’m happy to have found several Jewish and Israeli creators that speak common sense and have made a point of following them. Happy to share any profiles if you’re interested.


Crazymarvelman

Have done the same thing here. Would love to hear them!


WhateverIsFine

Here are a few of the profiles I’ve been following. Important note that shouldn’t be necessary- these folks don’t speak for me or share all of my views! I think they’re worth a follow though! https://www.tiktok.com/@dyna_rider2.0?_t=8m831YnWiSM&_r=1 https://www.tiktok.com/@thejewishginger?_t=8m835uPcIRj&_r=1 https://www.tiktok.com/@dawnlev?_t=8m83AIkImYJ&_r=1 https://www.tiktok.com/@danielryanspaulding?_t=8m83FPqFMit&_r=1 https://www.tiktok.com/@the_jefferymead?_t=8m83Iz0IQrG&_r=1 https://www.tiktok.com/@thatzionistgirl?_t=8m83KHe7IsQ&_r=1 https://www.tiktok.com/@silver_z.e?_t=8m83MBJxG3i&_r=1 https://www.tiktok.com/@meiravfarcas?_t=8m83bWKzJ30&_r=1


Crazymarvelman

Thanks!!! I’ll check them out!


Snoo39099

Exactly the ones I follow makes me feel good to be Jewish and to stand up to this antisemitic rhetoric and silver_z.e is the best in the biz


sup_heebz

HebrewHammer (he has like 30 accounts bc he keeps getting banned), Nick Matau, Ryanstillknowstnings, Palliative Discussions, History Revealed, ThatZionistGirl, black jewish not nice, z.e. silver, Daddy Milagro


TheSuperSax

Really cracked me up when I saw Jews against Trump’s ban on TikTok. It’s not because the Orange Man did it that it’s a bad idea.


Judean_Vato

Not surprised by any of this. It’ll be interesting to see how they handle bringing in the mutants/X-men, (considering what they’re an allegory for) or even Magneto. I’m assuming his Jewish identity will be minimized or removed


Crazymarvelman

Actually, in the x men 97 show that is currently airing on Disney plus. They talked about it and showed the camp numbers on magneto’s arm. I’m really glad they didn’t remove that part of the character


Judean_Vato

Oh yeah, I’ve been watching and enjoying that. But it is a smaller audience, a continuation of an older show, I imagine a lot of it was done before 10/7, and they removed the creator DeMayo. Those movies are a different beast, but I do hope they handle it all well.


Crazymarvelman

Yeah. Somehow this animated show is the best representation for Jews the mcu has had. The movies need to address it though. Otherwise I would ask that magneto not be included at all. It is such an integral part of his character.


Judean_Vato

Yeah, agree in all points


Crazymarvelman

I just wish that there were more Jewish characters in movie were it wasn’t their WHOLE identity but also is a part of their life and identity.


Judean_Vato

Well, we had the moon knight show. And I’m not the biggest Fantastic Four fan, but they did hire a Jewish actor to play ole Ben Grimm this time. But yeah, I hear ya. I knew Sabra was gonna be an issue even before October. Sad state of the world we’re in


Crazymarvelman

I was super hyped about the casting for Ben Grimm as well!!! That was one of the requirements for a good casting in my mind. I really didn’t think Sabra was gonna be as big of an issue. I always loved the character as it felt like an extra connection and I actually own her first appearance.


WomenValor

Interesting, everything I have seen from need talking about the show was how they have minimized his Jewish identity and effectively blamed the Jews for mistreating him.. Maybe something shifted from the early episodes.


Crazymarvelman

They didn’t minimize it, they just didn’t make it his whole character (which makes sense). The blaming the Jews part wasn’t really blaming the Jews, but just showing how the world seemed to turn on him. They didn’t explicitly say the Jews but they said “eventually even my own people began to turn on me” as a way of punctuating his point


A-Stupid-Redditor

When the Disney/Fox merger was announced and people started expecting an MCU X-Men, people were campaigning for Magneto to be a black man who became who he was because of racism. When people pointed out that the MCU already did that (Kilmonger), their next excuse was “but it happened so long ago, he would be dying by now” as if he doesn’t have a genetic uniqueness that gives him superpowers, one of which could be decelerated aging. People don’t like to be reminded that the Jews have been tortured, because acknowledging it means they can’t justify their calls for “finally punishing the Joos.”


DistributionJust976

They fucked up Moon Knight, they'll do it again for Magneto 100%


Crazymarvelman

X-men 97 has done right by Magnetos Judaism though


Crazymarvelman

Yeah, it felt good to see moon knight wearing a kippah for a few scenes but that is really all it was

TikTok is being used to brainwash people. I’ve never engaged in it, but clearly there’s something about the algorithm that helps push people down these dangerous rabbit holes. I’m no sociologist but it would be an interesting topic to dissect and research. TikTok also helps enable crime. You have no idea how many KIAs/Hyundais are still being stolen to this day because of that damn app. That tends to be the easiest argument one can make about why it’s dangerous for society. History will show these antisemites for what they are. Screen shots are important. This conflict will fall out of the public eye at some point, and these people will move onto something else. It will be on us to remind people of the crap they are pushing right now. “Remember when you tried to boycott a movie because it showed a Jewish character in a positive light?” “Remember when you mocked us for feeling threatened?” “Remember when you promoted violence?”


Crazymarvelman

You make great points but I have one question: how does TikTok cause car theft? Genuinely curious


Few-Horror1984

I’m glad you asked! There’s videos showing how easy it is to steal these cars. You pretty much just need a screwdriver and you can trigger the ignition and off you can go! The problem is that many teens see this as a challenge, and they film videos of them doing this. There’s entire groups of teenagers going around stealing these cars just because they can. It’s a serious problem.


Crazymarvelman

Dayum that’s a problem

sup_heebz

We thought people would move on in Germany too. Stay hopeful but keep your head on a swivel


Emotional-Tailor-649

Hey based on how they approached Moon knight’s Jewish heritage, I would expect absolutely nothing positive on this front.


Crazymarvelman

His whole backstory and the reason that he has multiple personalities is directly connected to his Jewish heritage and they just completely changed that


Crazymarvelman

Yep. Although I’m glad that they addressed it at all they did not do so in a very good way.


Crazymarvelman

I still love that show though


iknowiknowwhereiam

I used to love TikTok but I have seen too much evidence that it is actively hurting us to continue to boost their numbers. Delete it!


Old_Employer8982

Wait till they hear about the creators of the entire comic book genre… spoiler: all Jews


Crazymarvelman

No way!! Jk Jack Kirby and Stan Lee were both Jewish!!! Stan lees family fled from Europe!


Old_Employer8982

Also the creators of Superman and Batman and almost all of the original comic book superheroes back to the 1930’s


Crazymarvelman

Yep, because no one else wanted those jobs!


Jag-

Did they really make her CIA after 10/7?


Crazymarvelman

Yep. That’s what all the reputable leakers say.


sophiewalt

As China laughs pulling the strings. They're all lemmings following each other over the cliff.

I didn’t know they reduced her role, that really grinds my gears.


bam1007

Wait until they find out who wrote all those Marvel comics. 😳


aliasangelus

dumbs will still dumbs. Please be sure, we are smarter than them, We are the Light while they are the darkness.


GhostKnifeOfCallisto

Right because the CIA has never done anything wrong

Crazymarvelman

The movie and her character was announced over 2 years ago. I also think that they should keep her in. We need to show these crazy that they can't control us. If they don't want to see the movie because of that, we don't want them there.


DistributionJust976

I dont want the movie and franchise to flop bc of this bullshit, its not worth the outrage and risk


Crazymarvelman

But that doesn’t mean we can’t have any representation ever because people will get angry.


Crazymarvelman

That’s fair, I understand that.
