Yes last year I had a quick look at TikTok to see if it could be added to my main clients (Drinks Industry) social media portfolio.

Literally the first recommended video was a young woman in a school uniform - so that's a hard NO!

Some of these comments seem to be complaining that

a) snakes gotta eat, and, b) children often wear school uniform.

The reason you should want to keep children and alcohol apart is because alcohol is a drug, not because you think school-children are inherently sexualised.

Obviously a kids app is a bad place to sell liquor.

Why is a girl in a school uniform a hard no? Sorry, must have missed some key piece of information here.

Not something you can advertise alcoholic drinks alongside, at least in most countries.

They stereotype of the Japanese school girl might well be problematic - the sexual element was what I was hinting at.
