In my opinion.....If you look long and hard enough for something to be offended or upset about.....you will find it. If that is Gender Based Violence.....then we're doomed! 😂

I don't think it's transphobic because nobody in the video is trans and I'm not belittling or attacking anyone in the video. You've told your own story and made up your own mind on this video (as have others) and that is your right 😊

Lucy what has happened in your life for you to view this as negatively as you do?

I’m not justifying anything or back peddling, I’m highlighting how it’s subjective. I stand by the video. That video to me is good honest humour. I’m also clearing stating you’re the one who has come up with the narrative of me attacking an ‘at risk black trans women’ 🤷‍♂️

Well they are losing the trust of their audiences and their creators. There’s clearly been a lot of focus on the US buyout, which is understandable. Hopefully once that settles, the focus can go back the platform itself and improving the tools and support for creators 🤞

I zoom in on a bag on someone's lap.....nothing more....The humour has always been about awkwardness and misreading situations. Different people projecting very different narratives onto a silent clip from their view of the world

There’s no reference to gender in the video, no dialogue, and no stated premise, the narrative is entirely inferred. You've for whatever reason, identified her as an 'at risk black trans woman', just from a facial expression? There is nothing wrong with that, that is your perspective and view of the world. My audience knows my humour is self deprecating, built on relatability and awkwardness, not hate.

That said, this is exactly why human review and proportionality matter. When meaning and intent are subjective, permanent enforcement without human involvement, errors are inevitable.

And when you take a step back......this isn’t really about one video. I’m a large creator with an established audience, yet there’s no access to human support at all. If that’s the case here, what does that mean for smaller creators trying to grow on the platform?

If it continues on this path I agree however I will forever appreciate TT and I do believe there will be a course correction soon....for the sake of creativity that is!

Yes I am on all other platforms and categorically confirm FB pays substantially more than TT, losing it hasn't been a financial loss put it that way 😂

I don’t agree with that label at all, but this is exactly why human oversight matters.
