Hahahaha I remember when TicTok was newish a friend of mine (who never once actually used TikTok) boomerly complained that it was "just underage girls twerking".

He then proceeded to get roasted to hell and back the rest of the night, because Tiktock was famous for its algorithm showing you what you want to see. One boomer lying whine, and then 4 hours of being on blast and forever's worth of random inside jokes on him.

To be fair, when you first install it/set up an account, it doesn't know what you like, so it shows you the most generally popular material. A lot of that popular material is pretty... uncomfortable.
