Is anybody else tired of TikTokLounge?

It's that queen Edwina who keeps posting them.

Yes, OP. YES!!

A bazillion times yes! And we can’t even fucking block them anymore.

I refuse to sign up to tick tock to look at stupid videos.

Absolutely.

There's someone relatively new who types in all caps at frequent points. I like that guy.

It’s Edwin lounge. Ugh. For the first time in 12 years, I might leave Datalounge if it doesn’t stop.

God, yes. I started to post this today. First it was random “hot” guys, then incesty twins, now we are getting fucking Tic Tac fraus molding salami! Stop the madness!

Enjoy your Chinese spyware!

Would it help to immediately FF any thread that links to a TikTok?

YES! A couple are OK but this is too much

Maybe if everyone sick of the inane TikTok onslaught emailed Mediapolis? As unrelentingly stupid as the TikToks are, the headlines and intro posts are criminally cringe - as though they were written by an overweight 12 year old girl no one likes.

Close. Very close.

He ain’t 12, but other than that you nailed it.

[quote] yes, I split an infinitive;

Oh, jeez, I hope you didn’t hurt yourself. You gotta be careful with that gymnastics stuff.

You need someone to kiss it and make it better?

Yes.

They’re all being posted by the same Edwina.

Ban TikTok links.

Ban Edwin.

I am tired of it.....I do not come to Datalounge to see endless posts about TikTok......geez...

I don't mind. However, I'm in India where TikTok is banned so I don't even bother reading those threads.

R19 Thanks for letting us know.

I’m surprised people haven’t FFd it to oblivion. The posts are so obnoxious and posted 20 times a day even if they only get 2 replies. Which are both sock puppet posts and then on to the next one.

This tiktok troll is basically vandalizing datalounge and it needs to stop.

He could be a Chinese spy for all we know pushing people onto those links to scrape their info.

I don’t click on any of it. It’s sketchy af. Like a way to bait gay people into clicking.

I love TikTok!

R21 He's been doing it for ages and then runs to Muriel when people call him out on it. He outed himself then got all mental threatening to get the police involved.

He's obviously very unwell and desperately lonely.

TikTok is the most prominent social media platform of the moment, it is bound to be replaced by something else by the end of the year. Just hold on and it will be meaningless soon enough. When was the last time you saw a hot gay guys of Vine thread?

r20 you're welcome.

[quote]I don’t click on any of it

Even if I don't click on the actual video, TikTok still installs a cookie on my browser when I open a thread that contains one

[quote]I split an infinitive; don't hate me

Well, then give me another reason to hate you.

I don’t tiiktok. It’s easy not to.

Is it really one person or more? He/They could just create one main thread maybe titled TikTokLounge.

Just FF each one and don’t click on them. That’s about all we can do. Trolls eventually go away.

Sometimes he posts such cute guys, that DL will make a comment. Thus, 1 affirmation of interest is enough. People like Edwina block out everything negative to continue their obsessional tic, whatever it is.

tik!

TOK!

R27, are you sure about that? I don’t open TikTok links but the are often posted within threads I am reading.

I have the same issue with the Tik Tok posts as I do with the Harry and Meghan posts. Why can't they all be contained in one megathread? Why can't they just start a thread that is titled "Hot Tik Tok Guys Part 1" or "Harry and Meghan News Part 1" to keep it all contained in one space?

Not entirely sure R35 , but every time I check my list of cookies there's usually a TikTok one and I never watch the vids.

How could anyone get tired of vapid remarks from self-absorbed bores?

The new threads is part of the obsession compulsion. It's a cataloguing. We get freaks like this all the time. Remember that one who was creating multiple threads a day that were listicles of vintage pop music.

We had one last week with dozens of threads about Madonna. And her nose. And comparing her to randos, like Lainie Kazan and Chloë Sevigny. Remember PMBT? What do you think of this German guy?

"Would he make a good boyfriend? What does he smell like?"

R39 it's not the same thing. The TikTok threads are clickbaity bullshit written by some mentally damaged troll. They appear one after the other in batches at various times a day, and then get bumped repeatedly.

Also to the "Edwin" trolls: NO ONE CARES WHO YOU THINK THIS ALLEGED PERSON IS. You are as BAD and just as annoying as the people spamming TikTok links.

[quote] at various times a day,

Oh, dear!

[quote] Also to the "Edwin" trolls: NO ONE CARES WHO YOU THINK THIS ALLEGED PERSON IS. You are as BAD and just as annoying as the people spamming TikTok links.

It’s not a matter of “thinking” who it is. We KNOW who it is and if you click on any of the videos you would see exactly who it is too because they’re all linked directly from his account.

R41 = Edwin

R44 = the true Edwin

R42 if you're going to Oh, dear! you should be 100% sure you are correct.

I am, r46.

r47 No, no you are not.

His new nickname is EdTina cuz he’s the type who posts Craig’s List ads “ anyone got Tina Turner tickets” when he’s looking for drugs.

I think Edwin feels alienated from gay life because he is unwanted and unattractive. He tries to overcompensate by posting about his "dream" guys.

As long as the dudes are hot, and current, keep posting them!

The guys he picks aren't even that hot. If you are that horny, just make a TikTok account and you'll see loads of them in minutes.

Yep.

Keep up, grandpa.

I just FF all the Tik Tok threads.

I blocked the desperate Edwin troll and all the tiktok threads melted like snow in the sun.

Is this usually the content you find on tiktok?

I don’t care WHO is posting this shit—whether you KNOW so or just THINK so—I’d just like it to stop.

R39, you have a point; thing is, the Tik Tok troll(s) could be dealt with very easily by simply banning links to Tik Tok. If Muriel can ban CNN, she can ban Tik Tok.

Isn't this troll the same person who complains about transplants in NYC? How weird because he types like a 13 year old girl from Dallas.

Yes Edwin is the same guy that complains about about white people moving to New York r59.

He also claimed to have been doxxed when in actual fact he'd posted a link to his own account then said he was getting the police and FBI involved. He's not very clever.

TikTok links should be blocked automatically.

That Edwin dude looks old as fuck.

Edwin is a little white girl trapped inside of a fat Puerto Rican man's body

Edwina can be found on malegeneral.

Spoiler alert : it's not pretty.

Edwin is such a pathetic Latino.

I’m Latino too, and I can so easily see though Latinos who pretended to be woke and against the whole patriarchy and yet they desperately lust after straight white boys exclusively.

If you are a self-loathing minority fine but when you try to pretend you’re woke when in reality your sexual preferences reveal you to be racist, you look pathetic to all sides.

Then again, if Edwin was even remotely cute, others would let him get away with it...

I'm another one who is thinking of suspending my membership.

I don't expect much but I want working block functions and a working thread watch.

How much is that to ask, really?

There is no way Edwin is in his thirties. He looks closer to 50

[quote]He also claimed to have been doxxed when in actual fact he'd posted a link to his own account

All of our worst trolls dox themselves, it's bizarre. Erna, Davida, PPSM, Matt, AYB, and now Edwin. It's like a compulsion.

Every thread turns into an "Edwin" thread. 🙄

R70 Edwin is the troll spamming DL with thread after thread of TikTok nonsense.

R71 I've heard, yet seen no proof.

The bitching and moaning about TikTok (which I fundamentally agree with) is kind of funny, because DL has always had Aspie trolls who’ve regularly linked to external sites others don’t really care about.

When I first started coming here in the mid-00s, there were constantly links to BigMuscle profiles....

R72 You obviously missed all the hysteria when he doxxed himself and claimed he had everyone's IP addresses and was calling the police.

Well that was before Muriel took away the thread watcher, R73. It was fine when you could easily follow your favorite topics but now without it you’re just subjected to whatever’s front and center whenever you visit. That means being bombarded with TikTok threads and other obsessive topics.

TikTok is just YouTube for the 20's.

Is Edwin the guy who posted about six months ago that he had a "stalker" who was contacting some guy named "Harrison"?

[quote] I've heard, yet seen no proof.

Then you’re an idiot.

Click on ANY of those links and you’ll see his big ugly mug right at the top of the page, since he links them from his account.

So if someone posts a TikTok link here, you can actually see the poster's TikTok user name?

R76, YouTube never has had this many hot exhibitionists

R78 you've convinced me by calling me an idiot.

[quote]TikTok is just YouTube for the 20's.

No.

Youtube has real content.

Tiktok is a bunch of short videos featuring whores being whores. Even that one of the gay looking straight guy fully clothed with the text about his disney princess wife features a whore being a whore.

Yes r77.

[quote] because DL has always had Aspie trolls who’ve regularly linked to external sites others don’t really care about.

Postimg. Edwin was also the Postimg troll.

SO tired of it.

If there's a homophobic thread on here, it was most likely started by Edwin.

That's the guy who wanted to be best buddies with Shockgobbler.

[quote] I’m Latino too, and I can so easily see though Latinos who pretended to be woke and against the whole patriarchy and yet they desperately lust after straight white boys exclusively.

I hear what you’re saying, but I thought Latinos were white, especially Puerto Ricans like that hooker in the hotel who pushed that black boy she claimed stole her iPhone?

Latinos aren't a race. Latino means you speak a Romance language (Spanish, French and Portuguese) and a citizen of Latin America. There are white Latinos, turn on Telemundo and that's all you will see.

In (partial) defense of R70/R72, you see Edwin's fat face pop up on the screen when clicking these Tik Tok links on mobile and tablet devices, but [italic]not[/italic] desktop. So it's possible not to have seen it, if you're only using desktops to view Datalounge. Small mercies.

[quote]You obviously missed all the hysteria when he doxxed himself and claimed he had everyone's IP addresses and was calling the police.

He claimed to have actually filed a police report with the NYPD. I'd pay money for a copy of that.

[quote]So if someone posts a TikTok link here, you can actually see the poster's TikTok user name?

I don't use Tik Tok, but apparently there are two ways to share their links. One way does indeed show the user name of the person sharing the link, the other way links right to the video.

[quote]the headlines and intro posts are criminally cringe - as though they were written by an overweight 12 year old girl no one likes.

You mean you aren't impressed by grown men who start their sentences with "omg" and end them in "lmao"?

[quote]That's the guy who wanted to be best buddies with Shockgobbler.

And Dylan Geick, before Dylan told him to fuck off and unfollow him. That was hilarious. He was also clearly the one stalking Harrison from Lowe's, and getting VERY upset if it was ever pointed out.

[quote]I think Edwin feels alienated from gay life because he is unwanted and unattractive. He tries to overcompensate by posting about his "dream" guys.

I also think this is true. It's pretty sad that for some, who are handicapped by their own circumstances, thirsting after unattainable guys on Tik Tok is the only way they can express their sexuality. I suspect that religion is involved as well. However, it really has been turned up a notch here in recent days/weeks.

[quote] I suspect that religion is involved as well.

Eggweener has an unsupportive family apparently (I read somewhere on something of his).

I wouldn’t even mind it as much if it was one thread that he and/or others contributed to.

The problem is he’s literally spamming the board with numerous, numerous threads. Anyone else would’ve been banned from any other site. I’ve been on some message boards where if you respond too quickly to two or three posts in a row the website automatically puts you on a timeout because it thinks you’re a bot spamming.

Yes R92 but Muriel allows Edwina anything she wants. The NYPD complaint seems to have worked!

All problems on the DL, including all the Russian Trolls, are actually Edwin. Is it possible this person is the AntiChrist and he has chosen the DL to make his return, through irritating and insulting posts?!! 😳

Is it possible Edwin is the reason the Viewed Threads don't work right and the site is buggy??

R94 Yes.

Edwin came to my house and kicked my dog.

R94, I like scapegoats as much as anyone, but the Anti-Christ is going to be MUCH better looking.

[QUOTE] Is it possible Edwin is the reason the Viewed Threads don't work right and the site is buggy??

No, but his presence is exacerbated because the site doesn’t work right.
