Welcome to a segment I’m gonna do half out of shits and giggles, and half because well where else am I gonna go??? You tell someone you like cute characters in anime and they’re completely fine with it, but the moment you tell someone you like lolis they instantly call every school in a five mile radius and treat you like you’re the next Jeffrey Epstein! That’s not very cute or funny-
Trying to find community here is not recommended for the following reasons
For some reason the loli tags are censored but the shota tags are fair game.
What did bytedance mean by this???
There’s a lot of minors here dawg.
(Yeah yeah yeah I can hear it now from the antis, “pffft the lolicon isn’t cool with minors???”) Idk about you but i don’t feel like getting harassed by a swarm of minors. Plus I’m not into kids 💀
Discovery is nigh impossible
Getting your videos found by others is dependent on random luck, and when you do get lucky enough to escape 200 viewers per video tik tok handicaps you to try to coax money out of you with advertising.
The search is horrible.
You want to see posts that aren’t from two or three years ago??? You can’t do that on pc. Search gives you Top, Users, Videos, and Live. Guess what- Videos just give you Top but worse. You will rarely get something posted recently. If you want recent posts you need to go on the mobile app, go to videos, and only there will you have the filter options.
Tiktok tries to share your account with your contacts and connected facebook accounts.
Soo uhh- unless you want to prove your mom right when she leaves the door open when you hang out with your sister go to settings and turn that off.
So with all this in mind getting into the community itself is a hassle because of the DREADED ALGORITHM. When you make a tiktok account tiktok will desperately scramble to shove you into a box, and considering the box you’re trying to get here has been burnt to a crisp and shipped to Hong Kong this is easier said than done. So what were going to do is ignore the FYP for now and instead look up variations of the banned loli tags. From there its time to mass follow loli lovers, spam like loli posts, and follow the same people loli lovers follow. I can’t stress this enough, spam interaction. Hell keep a video on loop for a bit so tiktok gets it through its thick skull that you WANT to be here.
If you really NEED to use the FYP wait a day between checking and IMMEDIATELY stop when you get something unrelated. The FYP is a fickle thing, if you look at a video of a cat for a second tiktok will immediately assume you’re a cat fanatic and undo all your hard earned progress. After enough time your FYP and “find friends” page yield plenty of loli lovers.
Now I need to address the elephant in the room. Private accounts. I have to admit, i was very curious what would be hiding in a private account, why?? because on tiktok you can set your videos to followers only, which in theory means you could post practically anything so long as you vet your followers. the reality however- is a little odd.
Private accounts from my experience have been one of the following.
- Just users who want a private account
- People with really dodgy reposts and likes
- Honest to god pedophiles
Its genuinely confusing to me, because why not just use a regular account? The pro contact MAPs and other assorted creeps are already out in the open. Side tangent by the by, who the fuck advertises their [insert sketchy ass “encrypted” platform] on tiktok of all places???
Now, with all of this out if the way lets tell you what to expect from lolicon tiktok…
It kind sucks
No seriously, all i find are lolis dancing, generic slideshows where the joke is always “im gonna fuck this loli 😎😎😎”, and tiktok edits of lolis. maybe you’ll find better content in the proship side of tiktok, but from my experience it’s filled with minors (so im not touching that part of tiktok). Besides from what little i’ve seen its 50% defending proship, 50% shipping pairings.
You’d expect there to be more memes and variation in posts, but i guess when tiktok themselves heavily suppress loli/proship there isn’t much innovation. After all, a core feature of tiktok is the user generated audio and using them to make new variations of the same content. On art tiktok specifically if you aren’t grinding out challenge content you are left in the dust. i believe this is the reason for tiktoks subdued and stagnant lolicon community. unable to interact with the wider community due to tiktoks restrictions and rabid harassment from minor antis lead to a very isolated community.
There isn’t much room for growth in an isolated community.

What a time to be alive, tiktok is actually going down in the US. So, I’m going to go even harder here to document the whimper of what little I could find of the lolicon community. We have until January 19th after all.
You want my honest prediction? Either nothing of note will happen or there will be a flood of horrible shit everywhere. Why not go out with a bang? I’m sure that’s whats going through the mind of many during this whole thing.
