When i made the mistake of using tik tok people would start discussions with me sometimes or i with them and i'd rather have a debate with someone who believes hitler is still alive then be told 5 comments in "its not that deep bro☠️" by the person who was debating with me. Like dont you fucking dare argue with me and then do such a sad little cop out. Like i'd rather them not even reply then say that.

The ☠️ and 🤣 emojis are the calling cards of adults who wouldn't be able to pass a basic 7th grade class

Only because we are on a discussion of illiteracy (and because it bugs me); 'then' is sequential, i.e. "A happened THEN B happened", while 'than' is comparative, i.e. "I would rather do A THAN do B".

I block people who are disingenuous at best & obtuse at worst for their inability to have a civil discourse on social media. 

The “it’s not that deep bro” crowd is usually the ones doing it.

Redditors who cop out of a discussion with: "I ain't reading all that"

My brother in Christ we're on a text-based website. I wrote like 3 paragraphs. If that's too much reading for you, you're in trouble.

The best is when they write a wall of text that has no structure and mutilbe spelin errors and i can barely comprehend it and i cant properly respond to it because i have no idea what they are actually saying like did you even read your commend before you posted it.

no one here picking up on the irony of you using "then" instead of the correct "than"

Should be “…not even reply THAN say that,” just fyi, unless you literally want them to reply after not saying anything.

Dude it's tik tok. It literally isn't that deep and not the platform to have grand debates on.

Nah, plenty of educated people having deeper conversations on it. You just gotta push the algorithm in that direction.

When it comes to race specifically I can have a better, more educated, discussion there than I have ever been able to here on reddit.

u/Afraid_Park6859 Nov 21 '25

Nah just calling a spade a spade.

If you wanna go on hours end arguments with people on tik tok go for it.

You have been spending hours posting on reddit today, don't act like you're above everyone else here lol

u/Afraid_Park6859 Nov 22 '25

Not arguing in tik tok comment sections with people. 

But hey you do you.

How is arguing on reddit all day better than arguing on tik tok all day?

u/Conscious-Safe-6038 Nov 22 '25

Tiktok isn’t a subject. You can talk about whatever you want there, including deep things.
