Apparently they never told her followers about what happened and this happened in 2020. I had never heard of the stalker from Maryland who was killed, and I googled it, and there was nothing on the internet about this incident, except for this NY Times article. It's all so strange.

Is it possible all fabricated?

She is probably a lackluster student destined to be some Floridaman’s barefoot wife, and they see this as a huge opportunity for her to be set for life. It’s riding a tiger, but I think they believe they are looking out for her interests. I would never do it, but 14 year old isn’t even on social media (probably because it would be possible to have hidden accounts of course, but we don’t ban it just tell her it’s drawbacks).

The part about her parents being okay with her selling photos of herself to “fans” (the assailant in this case) because they were only pictures of her face shows a real lack of parental boundaries.

Her parents’ response here is astounding to me.

Agree. The dad killed the stalker in front of their house with the whole family inside, and then they go off shortly after that happens and do a deal for make-up ready dolls and call it a welcome distraction??? Family therapy ASAP. Those poor brothers, too. Caught up in it with no choice.

TikTok is 100% gross. It is toxic - all of TikTok.

If you let your kids use TikTok, you are horrible at parenting.

What are you prattling on about? I'm mid-50s and love TikTok. I love BookTok, people posting about women's issues/misogyny, cooking, working dogs, dance and music. I, occasionally, get stuff I'm not interested in but simply indicated 'not interested' and I don't see it again. I've learned a lot and enjoyed it.

DP here. Did you read the article? I realize that the above PP was generalizing, but we aren't talking about a 50 year old's TikTok use. The fact that you responded to the original thread by immediately -- and only -- relating your answer to yourself shows a certain type of narcissism that is possibly fostered by these apps.

To be fair, she was responding to "it is toxic - all of TikTok." Not the OP.

Fine, but no one gives a sh!t about her "BookTok" -- that wasn't the point of this discussion.

She was giving examples of the things she watches that are not toxic or gross, thereby refuting your assertion that Tiktok is 100% gross and toxic. That's not narcissism.

I am not the PP with the "toxic and gross" comment. I am a DP who doesn't care about 50 yo BookTok. Totally not what the thread is about, but keep trying...

Saying that TikTok is 100% gross and all of it toxic is hardly a generalization. It is an absolute and easily disproved - as the 50 yo PP just did. And, narcissism doesn't mean what you think it means.

The only thing the 50 yo imbecile PP proved is she’s extremely immature, and spends most of her time on a platform designed for teens to post silly little dances.

Narcissism means excessive interest in oneself. The 50 yo PP only responded to this thread to talk about herself. Sounds about right to me!
