The Sleepover Club: On Wednesdays We Dox Mean Girls On TikTok


Listen Later

This week, social media decided on a common enemy. After this video went viral, showing two young women mocking another who was taking selfies and filming TikToks at a sports game - the entire internet came together to dox the two perpetrators. But who really was the mean girl in this scenario? Was it the pair, annoyed at being filmed in public? Or the poster for exploiting their experience in exchange for thousands of new followers. Ione and Eden are discussing what it means to be a twenty first century mean girl, how the archetype has changed, and if bad behaviour should or should not be punished by the court of online opinion.


Order Ione's book, Poor Little Sick Girls, here!
