Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

I interpreted it as TikTok is associated with children. Thus as a user the kid is still a kid and not an adult
Sure, this interpretation falls in the old man understanding of tiktok, someone who has never been to tiktok.
Current day tiktok is full of people of all ages and the feed adjusts to your interaction with the platform, so you won't see a single kid unless you specifically take actions for it.
It's not about seeing kids on the platform. It's about short form content, short attention spans, and shallow takes. I don't think the idea of maturity breeding patience and interest in deeper levels of understanding of topics is all that controversial.
I tried using Tik Tok, and just spent more time searching for full sources to what I saw than I spent in the actual app. It was deleted long ago because I think it's rather crap for content, however that is just my opinion.
