TikTok is watching and screaming and throwing up
If you spend any time on certain corners of TiKTok — specifically on front-facing lesbian explainer Tarzana, CA TikTok — you know Jojo’s got a controversial new girlfriend named Avery Cyrus. You may not understand why this wholesome love connection that first blossomed in the everlasting Disneyland queue for Big Thunder Mountain Railroad and was later made official in a late-pandemic Chuck E. Cheese is so rife with drama. You must be new…
I do not blame you for your past ignorance. But now, Adult Siwanators, I’m gonna need you to focus up. I’ll try to make this simple, but I’m about to throw a lot of arcane terminology and industry jargon your way.
It’ll pay off.
