Woke opinion! Why’s everyone acting like casual homophobia is okay? Why are you calling straight men fruity in a derogatory way

Bianca Gardner

i also HATE first and last episode reactions with a passion!! what is the point?! haha great video as always kenyaaa

Tia

Lmao random Hot take about ASOIAF I’m listening to the audiobooks and I do have to agree he does write in a lot of unnecessary details 😂 I think bc it’s not high brow and it’s just fantasy like why are repeating that Jamie is the “lion of Lannister” like 5 times in the same 15 minutes omg. He has discussed that he enjoys world building and how he’s a “gardener” of a writer so prefers giving as much detail as possible even if he doesn’t really know for certain where he’s going with a particular story

Yep I’m the same way, TT needs to go

Viet Dau

“And she said something about God or Jesus… AND I KNEW THEN 🫵” had me cracking up

Janais

This girl posted on twitter a picture of about 100 books that she read and people were so negative in the comments 🤦🏾‍♀️. They couldn’t understand how she could have time to read but if they didn’t sit on social media all day they probably could too.

How quickly ppl forget that trump wanted tiktok gone in the first place. I’m no big fan of tiktok, but my issue with the ban is that the govt can just take apps away from us that they can’t control. But the way ppl are kissing trump’s ass over an obvious publicity stunt is beyond me

jay

Are we getting a video about these Oscar noms? I’d love to know your thoughts Kenya!!!❤️

Dani

OMG 😱 the comment on content creators who watch the first and last episodes of shows they know they won’t like. I immediately thought of one YouTuber. You’re not getting the full context of the show by doing that. Just watch what you like!!!!

Dani

I didn’t and don’t care if TikTok goes or not. I barely used it for myself, aside from 2 Booktok videos and family videos with my little cousins lol 😂 If it were to leave again in 75 days, I’d be fine. 🤷🏾‍♀️ People so depressed that it was “over” for 24 hours need actual jobs. Or hobbies. Something!!

KRYSTAL

I was glad to see crutches and spice and a few others back on TikTok until I saw how many people talking about their algorithm being messed up and they not seeing news of whatever and refusing to even search for what they wanna to see: it applies to so many things nobody wanna do anything but stroll. Limiting my social media use

Dani

That’s what made that day so foul to me (inauguration). They couldn’t pick any other day?!

Zoey B.

You are so right about mega display of cowardice since the election. Truly disgusting especially when it comes from those that were so vocally against trump his first term. Like stand the fuck up.

Vic

Insulin was capped a 35 now it's back in the hundreds. Diabetics for Trump are mighty quiet right now.

momo

CMON CAPTION 🤎

Carlos Arellano

Cannot wait your thoughts on Carrie 😂

Carlos Arellano

YESSSS we truly live in dark times

Ngl I deleted tiktok once it got banned (I’ve gone without it in the past and for much longer so I know I’ll be fine). But knowing I can’t get it back does kinda suck but im fully aware this is for the best lol. Also yeah! fuck trump lol

Dr. Raven Baxter

period

Aryanna

Thank you Kenya!! <3 Been trying to explain that tik tok is still a huge propaganda tool to my undergrads and 1+1 is just not equaling 2!!!

Faith Mbadugha

They’re addicted to TikTok…….and don’t even realize it

Jayden Brown

fuck donald trump !!

Peter

Complaining is not work! You always come with the best sound bites😂

Firstly, when this title popped up on my phone, I cackled and thanked God for Kenya! Secondly, I wish we could voice note on this app because I really want to describe what it’s like to be an outsider looking in on the Americans who are too fucking nonchalant about the state of your country. It’s so frustrating at best and frightening at worst. When your human rights are getting tossed out like garbage and when the blatant acts of white supremacy are spelled out for you, even the people I think have discernment seem to choose the personal convenience of closing their bedroom doors over standing on business and putting up a collective resistance. The TikTok scam is a tiny one of many examples. Like everyone posting the screenshots of getting played, then it was back to business as usual. 🤦🏾‍♀️ At this point just jump in a Time Machine and press the buttons to teleport yourselves back to 1619 or to Germany 1941; since it’s all shits and giggles. I know that’s a melodramatic statement, but I’m dead serious because it’s scary to witness how little the people who should care the most seem to not give a flying fuck. It really makes me wonder…is it because you’re in the middle of it that you can’t see the forest for the trees? Are you sitting too close to take everything in? By ‘you’ obviously I’m referring to the couldn’t-care-less crowd. My analogy related to this is that it makes me think of when I was in university abroad. There were two back to back hurricanes heading towards my country. Getting the updates via the weather channel had me quaking in my boots! It was terrifying to watch it all from afar and not be able to do anything but pray no one was going to die and my country wasn’t going to get wiped out! After it was over, I thought about how I was more afraid at that time, than when I’m literally experiencing the storms myself. All that to ask: Are Americans really this docile, or have I lost the plot? What are your international friends saying?

Vanessa Carlos

It’s funny you said you could start a cult on Tik Tok bc there’s been multiple on there😭😭

Imani Branch

omg don’t get me STARTED on them ‘team justin!’ people

Keith Primas

I fully believe the explosion of tiktok since 2020 has setback societal media literacy 10 years. Like y’all are STUPID and believe anything that’s in a 2 min video. also FUCK TRUMP FUCK ELON.

Afro I.

I NEED THE NAOMI OSAKA + ANGEL REESE VIDEO LIKE NOW KENYA... I'm so tired of the discourse

Chris

I understand the desire to ignore things, but we do not have that privilege.

Jordan

No seriously as someone who genuinely enjoys tf out of TikTok it’s so crazy when people tell me they use TikTok like google

Alexis

before i deleted all meta apps, i was dragging tiktok bc everyone was like "i learned so much on this app" and i quoted it saying THATS THE PROBLEM. then i asked someone to cite their source to a claim and they freaking sent me a youtube short that was just a screen recording of a tiktok ... im so done... everyone needs to take a research class dang it.

Heidi Diaz

Honestly you said so many things in this video that I’m going to put in my journal later tonight

Heidi Diaz

Exactly Kenya! Losers who have no loyalty but to power and money.

mari

tiktok is for giggles, not for news. it is genuinely helpful at spreading news quickly though, the issue is that a lot of people aren't doing their due diligence when it comes to researching and fact checking

Liz Huerta

i like certain parts of tiktok but im seeing a rise of justin baloney dickriders and i would like to see the app go black bc i dont want to see any of that

Alexa

Ever since TikTok thanked trump I haven’t used it and I don’t plan on going back to it. I really thought the app was going to be banned so I was ready for it to go anyways and then their little stunt was the final nail in the coffin.

Liz Huerta

every argument annoys me because it is either about that one girl who said she didn’t like wordy paragraphs (which was like one girl) or that people are addicted to smut and are porn addicts. like leave them alone!? who cares! also isn’t reading your porn the most ethical way to consume it??? they could also just skip the recs of smutty books. its not hard!

Reyhan

The tangent at the end about books is soooo real because what happened to just minding your business & reading what interests you??? Instead of beating people down into what they must read! What if someone did that to you— you’d tell them to leave you alone, so why don’t they leave other people alone ? They are so pressed about what others are doing & it’s just like… oh my god Rest. Just rest. Like what you like & stop looking at other’s people plate judging. If they just did that they might feel more peace 😭

Reyhan

We must stick together these next four years & hold onto hope. It’s gonna get rough. & yeah same; TikTok needs to go & people are pathetic but what’s new?

Max Miller

The inauguration being on MLK Day was really upsetting to me. God rest his soul

Danielle A

LMAO when you said ‘it was 15 years ago goddammit’ the caption said ‘*sad music*’ 😭😭 also regarding people’s need for everyone to meet in the middle and dance all night… YES. I LOATHE the question ‘why do we hate xyz’ ‘Wait are we xyz’ ‘What do we think’

DariaanMichelle

IDK if any of yall have noticed, but with “political” tiktoks, we’re not able to send it to more than 1 person anymore. And it’s just tiktoks discussing politics. I tried to send a cat video and I was able to mass send it out, no issue.

DariaanMichelle

Carrie Underwood performing saddened me but what did I truly expect from a blonde white woman from Oklahoma?

Bekah

What the stats show that the majority of ppl in ICE are black (Caribbean/afro-latino)

Bekah

And ppl trying to push it off 😐

Abisoye Ariwoola

everyone is so spineless and stupid that it’s really alarming

rudi!!!

(FULL agree on the title btw) that last tangent about ppl online wanting everything to cater to everybody reminded me of that woman who filmed a tiktok showing her bean soup recipe and the comments were full of ppl asking what changes they could make if they don't like beans.... JUST MAKE SOMETHING ELSE?!?! no one is forcing you to make the damn soup?!? you can scroll to find a recipe you might like, but instead you gotta be nasty and annoying to a woman making a goddamn bean soup for what 😭 it's also just against the entire POINT of tiktok to want everything to be homogenized!!! wasn't the fyp and algorithm MEANT to be super individualistic??? how you wanna be special but also make fun of anyone who doesn't do things the exact same way you do??? did ppl forget that everyone is different??? I'm just lost

rudi!!!

twice btw 🥴

Kasey Kucera

U about to be my saving grace these next 4 years Kenya 😭

JT

Tthe reason people don’t wanna go watch the things that actually apply to them is because it reminds them of how little they’re doing 😵‍💫

JT

People are more comfortable trashing things they don’t like than they are actually getting comfortable KNOWING THEMSELVES 🗣️ and what they like. Even the parts of their personalities they think are baked in have been handfed to them 😵‍💫 But you ain’t NEVA lied when you said that people need the coast to be clear before they stand on their 10. Can’t be me, never been me, never gonna BE me. Not even trying to be funny, but these next four years really showing who has integrity and a backbone and who doesn’t

Gabriel Benton

I can’t believe we witnessed in real time a man doing A NAZI SALUTE. 🤦🏾‍♂️

Farhana

I like TikTok not because I get all information from it but because I can connect with other people and find community that a lot of other apps don’t provide. I’m sorry I literally have social anxiety and often feel extremely isolated but TikTok provides me way to feel less alone in this god forsaken world. And also regardless if you like the app or don’t it should make you mad that the government could literally take away an app from what majority of the ppl in the country want.

Jordan S

The whole “thanks to president trump” notification on our tik toks should be a concerning red flag that China and the CCP have successfully ran a campaign to shift America to the right. They’ve been working on this for a long time, as has Russia

Selene

It was super weird talking to immigrants from Jamaica and Trinidad talking about wanting Trump to deport people. Guess they don’t know they are the deplorables

pasteleclectic

Fr i had to unsubscribe to YouTubers who engage in content that isn't for them. Like youre just giving this shutter author more press instead of engaging with stuff you might like and could potentially breath more life into.

Judith Ben

Billy ray I still got something for that ass but honestly everything you said right on the money everyone is so performative about everything it disgusts me… like what’s next bitches stanning musk im tired…. And when the black women been said Kim kardashian ain’t shit bitches wanted skims.. only to be looking like some cheap dollar tree material

Davonte

In regard to the power, Eric Adams is a prime example of running to power and doing any and every thing for it. I already despised him, but seeing him pussy pop for trump when his tea was getting clocked by the feds was quite honestly icing on the cake. And tiktok now will forever be on my shit list. Before i didn't hate the company strongly, but now with trump's cosign, I'm 1000% against it. People were crashing tf out about it getting banned and all of a sudden experts on corporation rights and how it sets a dangerous precedent for the control the US govt has over private companies. I was like WHAT??? Are we now in the era where we believe private companies are being BULLIED and are VICTIMS? That already pissed me clean off and then those same people spent the last week sharing posts and complaining about trump ending birthright. Like hold up, all that time you spend on tiktok "learning" and "getting news" and y'all don't even know basic constitutional rights?? Y'all let that man rile yall up about something that even HE knows is unconstitutional. Everyone knows the ins and outs of who's beefing with who and who is making a diss track against who... Yet yall spent the last 4 years on a so called educational app and didn't even learn basic things about how the US government works?

Mariah L.

No because I start side-eyeing when public figures start virtue signaling about god and values too lmao

tanieah

THEN theyre already starting to censor tiktok and watch it become full of right wing propaganda just like twitter did after elon took over

Sammy J

& JOBS (per 2019ish Kenya)

Sammy J

I was in a non-US place and it was still full of Americans. Their accounts didn’t disappear, so idk that felt weird to me….I’d assume that’s a bit dodgy, if your content is just out there for other countries but you can’t access it without a vpn

tanieah

no like i haven’t pressed play but i agree. that app has put ppl in massive psychosis with the way they acted after it was banned for 2 seconds #releasethem

Sabrina C

One thing I’ve learned from TikTok is that EVERYONE will fall for conspiracy theories and disinformation. If someone takes disparate information and strings it together to make a story that confirms your existing beliefs, you will fall for it every time. It doesn’t matter if you’re a leftist or MAGA.

aliya

the way i refuse to use it now….

Shaquan Harris

& productive hobbies 👄

Shaquan Harris

Haven’t started the video, but I agree with FUCK TRUMP, I’M WOKE

Serena

Ultimately the TikTok ban was about censorship. It was the principle. There are lot of bad, but there is good. The only thing bother me is those bashing on TT but on X.

Vic

Social media is a graveyard of personalities who need mothers and fathers.

Luke

Here in Germany we are going to have to also live with the fallout of Trumps election and the upcoming parliamentary elections in February. The right has been united like never before with Alice Weidel (leader of the far right AFD and potentially Björn Höcke in the background who is just a straight up neo nazi and a high member in the party) beeing on X live doing interviews with Musk. It's like a stone wall we're all heading towards and the cliff is just steep, but we all can see it comming. So yeah Kenya I feel you. It's gonna be a reactionary later half of the decade we haven't seen possibly since the cold era again.

B Ann

Because my TikTok bubble had me believing Kamala was gonna win the Damn election. After that I had to get off. Your video after the election definitely opened my eyes.

Rele M

You came with ALL THE SMOKE Kenya! I'm gagged - 💀 Love the "Woke" reclaimation journey! Radical hope and love is so needed to organise resistance right about now
