Livesof tito got its start last april, originally. But it wasn't until last august, when joe rogan started promoting it, that it really got traction. This account does not exist in a vacuum. Its basically become a wire service for the right wing media. So anything that this accounts posts gets nearly immediately picked up by fox news in the rightwing media ecosystem.
Accounts like “Libs of TikTok” are fueling right-wing media to label people who speak openly about sexuality and gender as “groomers.” Vox’s Aja Romano and the Washington Post’s Taylor Lorenz explain this age-old practice.
This episode was produced by Miles Bryan and Will Reid, edited by Matt Collette, engineered by Paul Mounsey, fact-checked by Laura Bullard, and hosted by Sean Rameswaram.
