“Short brother”: accused of misogyny, the Tiktoker defends himself

“ To all those people who are cyber harassers, please stop “. It is with these words that the creator of “Abrège Brother”, a TikTok account that in a few weeks has reached one million subscribers, emerges from silence in an interview with Parisianthis Tuesday 27 February.

“Shorten brother” accused of misogyny

For several weeks it faced numerous criticisms. Inspired by foreign TikTokers, the young man behind Abrège Frère creates, particularly via his Instagram account, “story time” videos of people telling a story on the platform, to summarize them in a few seconds.

Except that the vast majority of “shortened” videos are made by women, who behind them suffer misogynistic cyber harassment from the TikToker community.

“I am a person who respects women”

To defend himself, the content creator told our colleagues of Parisian not having been aware of having participated in the cyberharassment of TikTokers by “shortening them”: “ I do not discriminate based on gender or origin when I choose to groom someone. But when we scroll across our screens, most of the “story time” is told by women “.

And for good reason, a few days ago, content creator Alena, who testified on the platform: “ as soon as there is a girl who talks for more than a minute on Tiktok and her Tiktok works well, you will surely find at least five comments of people who will tag Abbrege Brother and say super violent things to him », he complains in a video.

Recurring observations to which “Brother Abrège” responds: “ It was people I know who told me they called me a misogynist. While I am the exact opposite “, before continuing:” I’m not a misogynist, in fact I think I’m a person who respects women “. However aware of “ evil ” and of ” hate ” on line ” before its concept », he made a point of declaring that cyber harassment is “ against its values “.
