'This is just the tip of the iceberg of the toxic environment of TikTok...'

TikTok star Tony Lopez has been exposed after screenshots revealed the 20-year-old had been sending sexually explicit messages to a 15-year-old girl. According to The TikTok Shaderoom, Tony was messaging a minor through Instagram DMs and on Snapchat. The underaged victim, identified as Cay, commented alongside screenshots of the Snapchat messages sent by the Hype House member:"But as you can see here, he continued to say s--t knowing that I wasn't of age.

To really show the misogynistic double standards of TikTok, and society in general, we should also talk about what happened to Tony Lopez and what happened with TikToker Megan Guthrie when their nudes were leaked. Now, having both of their nudes leaked is a horrible thing to happen to anybody, and both of their nudes were uploaded to various porn sites and have yet to be taken down, but it’s important to notice the difference in how they were treated.

Despite these controversies, there are SO many sexist and misogynistic trends on TikTok. Just recently, there was the Will Smith Challenge, where men harass women and try to make them cry as revenge for Jada Pinkett’s “entanglement” with R&B singer August Alsina. Men were also doxing girls who danced to recently deceased Juice Wrld, claiming they ruined the song.

— skoi— BLACK LIVES MATTER March 1, 2020 This is not the only controversy that the Hype House has had. A handful of Tiktok stars in the Hype House have been caught saying the n-word. TikTokers like Lil Huddy, Mattia Polibio and Emmuhlu and many others do a quick apology and mostly move on successfully. Maybe they’ll take a few days off after a half-ass apology and then go right back to making dance videos and POVs the next week.
