Assuming everyone who is reading this thread watches tik tok, has at least has come across one "core core" video. If you do not watch tiktok or have never come across a "core core" video, this is a good example of the format:
The format of expressing the wrongdoings of society by showing an overwhelming amount of video evidence proving a point that is never clearly expressed in the video. The person watching gets the point through the amount of the videos being thrown at the viewer generally accompanied with a "grim" music track. The format reminds me a lot of screaming into the void and be able vent frustration and have nobody hear you to avoid being judged or persecuted. However, these videos generally talk about societal issues and unlike most tiktoks just having a person talk about a certain issue, it plays with the human psyche by overwhelming the viewer with so much evidence that their point does not ever need to be said. I believe nobody understands an issue unless it is actually seen or experienced by the person being told about the issue. I personally have an issue with understanding people's situations and emotions about a certain topic because I've never seen it happen or I've never experienced it. To combat that, I watch a lot of case studies or videos about grim topics which sometimes lead into going in too far and seeing things that should not be seen by most people. However, I have realized that a person does not need to look that far deep to truly understand an issue. This is what the function of "core core" does best. The "core core" video format allows people to truly understand about the topic through the use of videos widely available on the internet. News reports, documentaries, and especially other tiktoks.
When a person watches tiktok, they generally do no stop and think about the implications of society behind that tiktok and that is completely fair. Why should a person stop dead in their tracks to think about one tiktok that have different views as yours? Most people just want to watch tiktoks throughout their day for entertainment and to make themselves happy. Most people does not want to go to an app to make themselves deliberately sad. That is why I essentially love the "core core" video format. The overwhelming evidences of videos, the topics. the play on psychology, it allows people to understand a topic, usually about something that most people can relate to, on a deeper lever with only a minute long video. It makes the viewer think about the topic for a little bit, acknowledge it, and then be able to continue their time watching more tiktoks and have their entertainment again. If the video hit them closer to home, they might remember and be more aware about the issue (possibly thinking about helping as well).
I feel like I blabbered on for a while, so please excuse me if I repeated a couple things too many times. I would just like to hear everyone's thoughts about this and see if anyone shares my views (or not, I'd love to hear everyone's opinions).
