Misogyny on TikTok is rife. But while the app claims to be tackling it, users are finding that their reports are going ignored.

One user tried to report a comment that read: “this woman needs a beating."

She was told half an hour later that it didn’t violate guidelines.

Within seconds of searching, @VICEWorldNews found videos uncritically airing the views of Elliot Rodger, who killed 7 people and subscribed to incel ideology. One of the videos had over 120,000 views. TikTok has now taken them down.

Some hashtags associated with incel ideology are banned on TikTok—but others are not. #redpill has more than 942 million views and, while it might not always court outright hate speech, it often skirts sexist or hostile views around women.

Among the most-viewed videos under this hashtag are TikToks titled “Do you think make-up is a form of lying in a relationship?” and “Women be like: I deserve a $9,000 ring, $50,000 wedding...and all she has to offer is pre-owned pu**y.”
