Hey everyone, just wanted to put up this pinned comment to address the red X that seems to be on the screen sometimes. As of last week I downloaded a new plugin to help my editing, if you watch my other videos, you'll probably notice that there are some new effects in this video that I haven't used before. In editing, I saw the red X during those effects, but thought when I rendered/exported they would disappear, and I didn't check the video before uploading. I'll make sure it won't happen again in future uploads
you should've cut out the part about killing stalking in the "harmful content" chapter too because the hashtag is talking about the korean manhua named killing stalking which is *not* related to the eating disorder hashtags.
I could’ve sworn musical ly was turned into tik tok in 2018? I remember it clearly. Also this “killing stalking” hashtag is most likely about the popular boys love Korean manhua at the time called killing stalking about an abusive gay relationship and fangirls took this thing and ran
killing stalking is in NO WAY A BL OR YAOI!! it's a psychological horror. the obsessed yaoi girls made it look like a bl/yaoi bc they're obsessed w fetishizing gay men. nothing about killing stalking points to it being a bl/yaoi manhua..
I used musically way back in middle school. I made stupid drawing videos synced to music and that was about it, I had no idea about the scandals and never had gotten big enough to attract predators either. What a strange relic from the past, lol
you were NOT kidding, "don't judge me challenge" unlocked a memory buried deep in my mind i like how it managed to convey the exact opposite of what it meant to... but tbf with what the challenge consisted of what did you expect
@@Duckbusinessman but my comment works with the knowledge that your father left you. Although why bother to mention that, everyone knows about it anyway
i had this app when i was 9, most of them were bad lip syncing and i would eat soap to melanie martinez songs. luckily i didn’t end up on any bad side of the app and it took me a while to realize it was deleted. when the app was taken down it was still on my phone and i was confused because new videos wouldn’t load and i wasn’t able to make any until i found out it was just gone so i uninstalled it

11:33 I think this hashtag is in reference to the webcomic of the same name (Killing Stalking) so a bit less dark than people may think, just fans doing edgy roleplay stuff.
Fascinating and interesting video on the very disturbing History of the Musically App used to be used on social media and the many scandals they were involved in.
I remember the killing stalking thing was about a BL manga that was really f-ed up and a certain song it was played with could also trigger those who know of the manga.
@pinkturtle yeah alot of gay people rlly didnt like it because it potrayed gay relationships as abusive + sangwoo (abuser) wasnt canonically gay, he was extremly straight but just had a liking to his victim because the victim looked extremely similar to his mother. like sangwoo was VERY straight, he said it himself also in the panels. the creator also said that he was straight and it was NOT supposed to be a bl or 'yaoi' or whatever, it was only supposed to be a psych thriller and thats it.
My sister and I were on musically when she was 12 and I was 10. We were just doing camera transitions to music. I remember the don't judge me challenge and I used to wonder about how I looked (I was already not happy about myself in the first place, being trans and all) but my sister was the one who MAINLY used the app....and she started being concerned about her weight...she started to stop eating as much as she used to.
very nicely narrated and edited video, your content is a snack, and much like how you described the development of the app, your content is very easily consumable. very smooth and easy to pay attention to. you have a great voice. smooth work my dude, props to you.
Anyone else remember the Blue Whale Challenge? Ahhh, musically... i remember it like it was yesterday. Absolutely hated that app for some reason, guess i wanted to be different from the other kids of my class. It was crazy to see Musically with Tiktok out of the sudden, but i remember a LOT of weird pedophilia cases Involving Musically
@mightytothemax7454not sure if you got more info but- people online would contact mainly minors and would give them a challenge for 50 days (I think) and each day the challenge would be based on hurting the user or hurting others (physically or emotionally) a lot of the challenges were about sh. The last challenge was to off themselves. If you didn’t do the challenges or try to run away from them the person would threat the user by threatening to hurt their loved ones.
Finally someone talks about musically, I feel like the app had its fair share of problems but I never seen people discussing it like where today people always talk about TikTok and it’s problems more, I’m glad people are more aware about it
Nah, TH-cam just doesn't trust viewers with their own feelings ... but it's too late for me to stop watching it now, because I'm one of those people who gets very agitated if I don't have access to the internet
Don't Judge Me "Challenge" was just revolting. It should've been heavy make-up to try doll themselves up or something like that then showing their natural appearance instead of kicking down people via making themselves ugly. Just no. That said, Children's Television Act and COPPA exist for a reason and this app SPAT IN THEIR FACE. Fucking disgusting. I hate TikTok and all but at least it wasn't AS BAD AS THIS SHIT WAS
It’s stupid TH-cam tried to hide content like this from everyone because it has “sensitive content”. 🤦♂️ what people don’t understand is it’s life and it ain’t rainbows and sunshine. Hiding reality isn’t gonna do anything but hurt people more. But anyway Love your content and keep up the amazing work!
Of course, however this is the internet not real life. The warning needs to be provided if it is potential disturbing content to advise the viewers. I mean movies do this so I don't see why it's an issue
Manifesting 100k🎉 I find it crazy that you aren't there yet! Your video quality is on par with, if not better than a lot of bigger youtube channels I watch! Enjoyed the video, much love!
During the don’t judge me challenge, I remember coming across a video made by one of the users, a male, who by the existing standards of beauty, did not match up, however, this person did not make a “before” and “after” transition, he remained the exact same in both “slides”. The message was “this is who I am, I will not change the way I look or dress, this is me, my before and after are the same, so don’t judge me for being me”. A person with a small following, not much traction. This person was getting bullied left right and centre, people calling him “ugly” and a “fat f*ck”. Some guy had also made a similar comment and this kid replied that he didn’t care the way he looked or the guy (bully) did, that he’s more interested in getting to know the personality. To this, a random chick drops in the middle of the conversation and says something like “I would rather f*ck him (the bully) than you” And the kid replied “I wouldn’t f*ck your disgusting ass for free. No, it would be a cold day in hell” Absolute madlad. And by the way, these were all kids, they appeared to be between 12 and 15 years. As someone who had gotten access to the internet fairly early (in 2006), and also access to social medias and phones (2010), from my experience I really, genuinely believe that the internet is not a place for kids, they have no business being here. I have witnessed first hand encounters of child grooming and harassment by predators, these victims were my friends, in my age group. It never appeared to any of them as a wrong thing, rather, would start an ego war especially between the girls to see who would get the most “likes” or “messages” or any similar form of validation from adults. These were the girls from 8th grade, 9th grade, and the men were in their 20s, senior year kids in their colleges, married men, men in their 30s. And these girls never realised they were victims, not even today. They were rather boastful and proud. Teenage is already a weird time, then came schools to add the salt to the wound. You then top it all with social media, you get a disaster. Yes, the internet can be used productively. I personally found solace in music, I used it to learn the guitar, play videogames and watch anime/music concerts. I genuinely used it in a fulfilling way, while most of my friends simply used it for seeking attention and self gratification, and this really damaged their self respect and harmed their personality. They became violent, rude and borderline maniacal. Again, parental “controls” are useless. You can never fully control what your child does all day, or on the internet. Especially in today’s era of hyperinflation where a family has no other choice than have both the parents work to make money. The kids are left alone. Nothing can be done in such a situation.
getting messages like this was known as normal growing up, and we just ignored them, because of dumb riddles and stuff saying if you didn’t send it to someone else you’d die, we stayed away from those messages, these new kids seem to think it was that easy to message an influencer, i think this has a lot to do with parenting.
I remember this app so much but I never knew all the drama that came with it since I really didn’t use it like that or even to talk to anyone since I was always told don’t talk to people on it from my mom 😂
The thing that passes me off about coppa to this day is that you can blame the platforms for getting kids information when literally the protected group is below the minimum age to use the platform. The way I see it that's on parents 🤷♂️
Yeah but at the same time they should have been doing more as a platform to recognise when children were using the app and ban them from doing so, such as requiring proof the person is the age they say are and not letting them make an account until that proof is shown. It’s a problem that most social media platforms have and don’t take seriously enough.
@@miufke_ but not every parent will. They are and will always be parents who don’t understand the dangers of the internet and/or refuse to acknowledge them, and that’s why it’s important for platforms to recognise this. To put safety measures in place and enforce them very strictly; Children who are failed by their parents don’t deserve to be failed by the system too.
@@miufke_ yes it’s on the parents but when does it also become the company’s problem musically ads showed kids so you would think the company would take measures to protect them online
I used musically so much in elementary school, I specifically remember my friends pressuring me to be obsessed with jacob sautorious (however you spell his name) for some reason?
Jeez, I remember musically, my sister used to make videos there and was a bit annoying tbh. This was during her early middle school year. Seeing her being sucked into her phone while trying to spend time with her was just aggravating. She became a lot more mean to me and would push me away. Part of it was also a nasty group of girls she tried hanging out with but used her as their emotional punching bag while she already had problems of her own. Fortunately she's changed over those months after cutting all contact with them and social media. Years later she is now a really great person to be around with. Our sibling relationship is now more powerful than ever along with our two brothers. (Mostly from severe traumatic events that's still a little bit on going but will FINALLY end soon! but no, not getting into that.)
@12:39 Musically's codebase still sits on your phone. Of course it's now the backend for Tiktok which is probably adressed in the remaining 6 minutes of this video.
i remember multiple older men would send me pictures and leave comments and when thinking back on it it was so under regulated and awful that children were on the app.
14:57 this haunts me bc when I was like 6/7 my friend and I were dancing around a shi, I never been on TH-cam and my face and body was NOT allowed to be on ANY platform so my school etc couldn’t post me on their website or anything. My friends dad thought it was a great idea I guess to post the video of us dancing onto TH-cam. Few kids saw that video and genuinely changed me and scared me because they were asking something I didn’t know about or how it got there and I was just wondering constantly who else saw that video…
I remember using this app trying to get popular at first then just deleting and reinstalling it to do the celebrities challenges and paying tribute to Christian and finally deleting the app for good. Now I just watch tiktok videos on TH-cam
Yeah the killing stalking tag was a korean psychological thriller webtoon of the same name that contained some disturbing scenes. There was a lot of people that loved it and shipped the two main characters, which is where the vids came from. It was edgy teens and tweens being fans of a fked up comic.
Just wanted to drop this comment real quick. The first few seconds!!!! I legit actually, legitimately 100% absolutely fkk hated that “move the camera up down left right” thing, and I can’t believe I have to relive it again😩☠️ like that was the thorn in my eye for years
I honestly remember musically back in middle school throughout and the seven to 6th grade honestly it feels really terrifying and creepy to think about still about all of these incidents.
If you want more content on TikTok, maybe you should look into the fact that it's about to be banned in the US. 22 of the 50 states have already passed a full ban, at least 1 state and Washington D.C. has passed a law about the app not being allowed on any state owned devices. Just a thought
@@OliveDasi with all the data theif and pedophiles and families exploting their children shouldn't be too ban it completely one day. There is literally nothing on that app that can be defined. I swear TH-cam shorts and Instagram reels are what feels like a replacement already. Glad I never downloaded tiktok😅
@@OliveDasi to be honest barely anybody uses Twitter. Apps like instagram, Facebook are easy to avoid if you can control your addictions. But an app like tiktok is massively taking over peoples mind since it’s very hypnotizing. People’s personalities is based off tiktok, their political opinions/beliefs based off tiktok. “Woke” culture brainwashing the youth. And the fact it’s easy for young kids to be on this app. Not to mention it ruined an entire generation for teenagers that entered the early 2020’s. I really do hope next year in 2024 the mid 2020’s can be somewhat better. Because the early 2020’s was literally the trashiest decade to be in. No fun, no good music. Not to mention that app makes people antisocial. Way worse then u think. TH-cam shouldn’t be to blame when, nor Instagram. It’s tiktok that’s has everyone’s eyes glued to their screens.
The fact that my sister used musicly when she was deadass 6 and my parents didn't know enough then so they allowed it...crazy what kind of people wherre out there geez
this issue is definitely worse now. this is the reason i hate tik tok. the users get younger and younger. the dances get more vulgar. i get there are videos with good information, interesting videos, not vulgar videos, but look at the difference it is not hard to tell what is going on at this point. they are worrying more about money than the youth
I remember that one time, back in musical ly, I met a pedophile who posed as a “blue poo plushy.” I was 8 or 7 at the time and uhm… I still remember what that plushy looked like to this day. He’s done nsfw roleplays and talked in an nsfw way with me. I never knew what a pedo was after a year or so.. Years after, I disappeared and so did he. I’m back to TikTok but he isn’t. I hope he doesn’t come back. I am very glad someone made a video like this. Edit: just wanted to point this out, this stuff happened to many different children. Those who aren’t even watching the video but just looking at the comments, please take this into consideration that many children have been targeted. oh my goodness there are a lot of creeps but I didn’t know there were that many.
The don’t judge me challenge literally made me so sad about how I looked when I was younger it was sad bc I was to young for the app anyway and the I saw this and thought damn I’m ugly
oh my god…. iv remembered a horrifying memory from all this. i used mysically when i was about 9-12 years old, and i remember getting followed by a fake jojo siwa account just like the one u mentioned. i freaked out thinking that it was really her and i followed her back, i think within hours/ a day, i realized the account had been deleted, still so scary…
the killing stalking tag is probably ( most likely ) related to the webcomic of the same name. it is a psychological thriller that shows stuff like kidnapping, torture, stuff like that
Brooo I sincerely have never had a “omg” flashback moment with internet stuff. But that don’t judge me challenge was a lost gem in the cringe of humanity😂😂
The person on the left of the thumbnail kind of looked like a cosplay I did, so when this popped up in my feed it was like a jumpscare lol... I'm almost 99% sure it's not me bc 1, I wasn't on musically and 2, the cosplay I did didn't have white out contacts
I never used musically when it was around. I just remember being constantly bothered by the adds for it. Now tiktok just does the same thing, I don't use that site either.
And you know what musically turned into? It wasnt fucking deleted. I asked my sister something about it and she said "Oh yeah, its called Tik Tok" now I said "Thats even stupider then Musically, it just sounds like a clock." Little did i know how right i was with this fucking app.
I remember hearing about musicly but never made a profile nor cared to download the app. Didn't know the site was shut down until I heard about tiktok being a thing back in 2020.
i remember watching musically turn into tiktok. i was an average user of musically, and every musically user was so mad that it turned into tiktok at first, but now im glad it did because musically was baddd 😂
The fact that people think that killing stalking is a boys love Korean comic?? Wtf? No. It’s a psychological horror story. And it’s still a psychological horror, just bc plp are romanticising it, does not make it any less of what it is and more boy love. It’s disgusting that plp are romanticising mental disorders/ issues, abuse, assault and murder etc. *get some help*

Yeah but at the same time they should have been doing more as a platform to recognise when children were using the app and ban them from doing so, such as requiring proof the person is the age they say are and not letting them make an account until that proof is shown. It’s a problem that most social media platforms have and don’t take seriously enough.
@@sophmari27 absolutely not. The parents should have done more
@@miufke_ but not every parent will. They are and will always be parents who don’t understand the dangers of the internet and/or refuse to acknowledge them, and that’s why it’s important for platforms to recognise this. To put safety measures in place and enforce them very strictly; Children who are failed by their parents don’t deserve to be failed by the system too.
@@miufke_ yes it’s on the parents but when does it also become the company’s problem musically ads showed kids so you would think the company would take measures to protect them online
I used musically so much in elementary school, I specifically remember my friends pressuring me to be obsessed with jacob sautorious (however you spell his name) for some reason?
4:49 i was cracking up here lmfao
When it got that suicide hotline in the description and it says you viewer discretion advised you know it’s abt to get crazy😂
Jeez, I remember musically, my sister used to make videos there and was a bit annoying tbh. This was during her early middle school year. Seeing her being sucked into her phone while trying to spend time with her was just aggravating. She became a lot more mean to me and would push me away. Part of it was also a nasty group of girls she tried hanging out with but used her as their emotional punching bag while she already had problems of her own. Fortunately she's changed over those months after cutting all contact with them and social media. Years later she is now a really great person to be around with. Our sibling relationship is now more powerful than ever along with our two brothers.
(Mostly from severe traumatic events that's still a little bit on going but will FINALLY end soon! but no, not getting into that.)

What annoys me the most when it comes to assault cases on kids and people is when it is shared online. ALWAYS someone will blame the victim
that foxakimbo recreation of the dont judge me challenge killed me i wasnt expecting that lol
The don't judge me challenge just made me judge their own personality lol
@12:39 Musically's codebase still sits on your phone. Of course it's now the backend for Tiktok which is probably adressed in the remaining 6 minutes of this video.
i remember multiple older men would send me pictures and leave comments and when thinking back on it it was so under regulated and awful that children were on the app.
>mid 2010s
All around me are familiar faces
i remember the cross over nobody wanted to update the app but when we did we saw the app logo change
14:57 this haunts me bc when I was like 6/7 my friend and I were dancing around a shi, I never been on TH-cam and my face and body was NOT allowed to be on ANY platform so my school etc couldn’t post me on their website or anything. My friends dad thought it was a great idea I guess to post the video of us dancing onto TH-cam. Few kids saw that video and genuinely changed me and scared me because they were asking something I didn’t know about or how it got there and I was just wondering constantly who else saw that video…
i think the most surprising part of this video is the fact that you’re so UNDERRATED 😭‼️
oh i just know this is gonna be good after seeing it open with Gabbie Hanna!!!!! omg
I remember using this app trying to get popular at first then just deleting and reinstalling it to do the celebrities challenges and paying tribute to Christian and finally deleting the app for good. Now I just watch tiktok videos on TH-cam
A scandal plagued platform, violated privacy laws exposed children to predators-
Sounds like tik tok
The fact TH-cam gave me a warning says a lot
Fire youtuber + content warning = messed up yet interesting video ahead
The fact there's both a content warning and suicide prevention hotline on this video me and it's gonna be scrumptious
Yeah the killing stalking tag was a korean psychological thriller webtoon of the same name that contained some disturbing scenes. There was a lot of people that loved it and shipped the two main characters, which is where the vids came from. It was edgy teens and tweens being fans of a fked up comic.
TH-cam asked if I wanted to watch, then proceeded to give me a number to therapy🤦♀️💀
Just wanted to drop this comment real quick. The first few seconds!!!! I legit actually, legitimately 100% absolutely fkk hated that “move the camera up down left right” thing, and I can’t believe I have to relive it again😩☠️ like that was the thorn in my eye for years
I only remember about MusicalLy was that meme "I wana be Tracer"..... and that was 7 years ago holy shit..
I honestly remember musically back in middle school throughout and the seven to 6th grade honestly it feels really terrifying and creepy to think about still about all of these incidents.
If you want more content on TikTok, maybe you should look into the fact that it's about to be banned in the US. 22 of the 50 states have already passed a full ban, at least 1 state and Washington D.C. has passed a law about the app not being allowed on any state owned devices. Just a thought
@@OliveDasi with all the data theif and pedophiles and families exploting their children shouldn't be too ban it completely one day. There is literally nothing on that app that can be defined.
I swear TH-cam shorts and Instagram reels are what feels like a replacement already.
Glad I never downloaded tiktok😅
I'm all for shutting down to TikTok, for more than one reason.
@@OliveDasi to be honest barely anybody uses Twitter. Apps like instagram, Facebook are easy to avoid if you can control your addictions. But an app like tiktok is massively taking over peoples mind since it’s very hypnotizing. People’s personalities is based off tiktok, their political opinions/beliefs based off tiktok. “Woke” culture brainwashing the youth. And the fact it’s easy for young kids to be on this app. Not to mention it ruined an entire generation for teenagers that entered the early 2020’s. I really do hope next year in 2024 the mid 2020’s can be somewhat better. Because the early 2020’s was literally the trashiest decade to be in. No fun, no good music. Not to mention that app makes people antisocial. Way worse then u think. TH-cam shouldn’t be to blame when, nor Instagram. It’s tiktok that’s has everyone’s eyes glued to their screens.
@@ConsistentlyInconsistent21 if tiktok gets taken down facebook and instagram gotta go too
@@yaboinoodle6878 fuck em, I got banned from Facebook and never had Instagram. I got banned from Reddit as well. I got Twitter after Elon, no regrets.
I feel like Tik Tok has the same exact issues
The fact that my sister used musicly when she was deadass 6 and my parents didn't know enough then so they allowed it...crazy what kind of people wherre out there geez
YO THE OLD THUMBNAIL IS GONE 😭
What a shame. The title probably changed too, but I don't remember what it was before.
What was the old thumbnail? 😳
@@bubblesthetalkingdog6590 I genuinely cannot remember.
Bro when "momo" had everyone shitting themselves including me
Fr bro
this issue is definitely worse now. this is the reason i hate tik tok. the users get younger and younger. the dances get more vulgar. i get there are videos with good information, interesting videos, not vulgar videos, but look at the difference it is not hard to tell what is going on at this point. they are worrying more about money than the youth
That secret ending was SO EPIC! The most cinematic thing ever!
4:16. «Dont judge a book by its cover»
I was like 11 and followed 3000 people and they all just followed me back it was a weird time 😂
Missed out on ending the video with "And that was the day that the music died" lol
No mention of Paymoneywubby. Smh

I remember that one time, back in musical ly,
I met a pedophile who posed as a “blue poo plushy.”
I was 8 or 7 at the time and uhm…
I still remember what that plushy looked like to this day.
He’s done nsfw roleplays and talked in an nsfw way with me. I never knew what a pedo was after a year or so..
Years after, I disappeared and so did he.
I’m back to TikTok but he isn’t.
I hope he doesn’t come back.
I am very glad someone made a video like this.
Edit: just wanted to point this out, this stuff happened to many different children. Those who aren’t even watching the video but just looking at the comments, please take this into consideration that many children have been targeted.
oh my goodness there are a lot of creeps but I didn’t know there were that many.
😝
I'm so sorry you had something like that happen to you :/
For those with Pimples I wish I knew about Dr. Bronners Hemp Castile Soap the Peppermint works great for Acne
Wow you did find the Cicada logo after all, impressive! 😊 1:11
A piece of history?? It’s literally just TikTok. Same owners new name . Nothing has changed
The don’t judge me challenge literally made me so sad about how I looked when I was younger it was sad bc I was to young for the app anyway and the I saw this and thought damn I’m ugly
You know the video is gonna be a banger if YT warms you
i remember using musically religiously back then 💀
Same, used to pretend that I was melanie martinez 😟💀
I got a warning for this 2 times you know it’s going to be good
oh my god…. iv remembered a horrifying memory from all this. i used mysically when i was about 9-12 years old, and i remember getting followed by a fake jojo siwa account just like the one u mentioned. i freaked out thinking that it was really her and i followed her back, i think within hours/ a day, i realized the account had been deleted, still so scary…
the killing stalking tag is probably ( most likely ) related to the webcomic of the same name. it is a psychological thriller that shows stuff like kidnapping, torture, stuff like that
How does this only have 700 views?
Yeah, it's weird. Probably TH-cam's fault.
The story repeats itself, huh?
NOT THE WARNINGS AND THE SUICIDE HOTLINE NUMBER
Well that was my first ever warning from TH-cam
Brooo I sincerely have never had a “omg” flashback moment with internet stuff. But that don’t judge me challenge was a lost gem in the cringe of humanity😂😂
wierd red crosses - Editing mistake? OR the beginnings of a FoxAkimbo ARG?
when the video has a suicide prevention hotline option and you cant actually view the video, it says for itsself
The person on the left of the thumbnail kind of looked like a cosplay I did, so when this popped up in my feed it was like a jumpscare lol... I'm almost 99% sure it's not me bc 1, I wasn't on musically and 2, the cosplay I did didn't have white out contacts
I clicked bc of the cosplayer too but I think that cosplayer is cosplaying Eyeless Jack idk
I was on musically when I was like 7 or 8 thank god the worst I got was "why are there kids on my fyp"
If it’s giving a warning AND putting a suicide hotline number you know the vid is good
Another great video!!
I never used musically when it was around. I just remember being constantly bothered by the adds for it. Now tiktok just does the same thing, I don't use that site either.
I was never a fan of this app. I'm also not a fan of TikTok. I just don't see the appeal, I think I'm too old
I know I am and I'm perfectly fine with that fact 😂
Even today on tiktok i still see p0rn every other day on my fyp 💀 comments full of minors too
You know the video fire when TH-cam warns you and there is a suicide hotline
I actually remember this app, I only remembered the name until this video
damn it won't let me watch this video like it just doesnt load
And you know what musically turned into? It wasnt fucking deleted.
I asked my sister something about it and she said "Oh yeah, its called Tik Tok" now
I said "Thats even stupider then Musically, it just sounds like a clock."
Little did i know how right i was with this fucking app.
How child safety for the age-restricted?
Haven’t seen that warning in a fat min, expectation are high for the wackiness of these controversies lmao
I remember hearing about musicly but never made a profile nor cared to download the app. Didn't know the site was shut down until I heard about tiktok being a thing back in 2020.
i remember watching musically turn into tiktok. i was an average user of musically, and every musically user was so mad that it turned into tiktok at first, but now im glad it did because musically was baddd 😂
HOW DOES A APP HAVE CUTTING VIDEOS AND PRO ANOREXIA HASHTAGS?
The fact that people think that killing stalking is a boys love Korean comic?? Wtf? No. It’s a psychological horror story. And it’s still a psychological horror, just bc plp are romanticising it, does not make it any less of what it is and more boy love. It’s disgusting that plp are romanticising mental disorders/ issues, abuse, assault and murder etc.
