It's so weird to see old Disney Channel shows on TikTok.
By @xenay · Nostalgia
People are editing old shows from when I was a kid like 'Hannah Montana' or 'Wizards of Waverly Place' and making thirst traps out of the male characters. It feels kinda weird to see my childhood crushes being posted like that.
The full story
idk if i’m explaining this right but it’s so strange to me. like these were shows i watched in middle school and it was all innocent and funny. now i see these clips on my fyp with some weird slow song over them and all the comments are just super thirsty. it’s like my childhood is being turned into content for people to be weird about lol. am i the only one who feels this way? it just feels like nothing is sacred anymore, not even old disney shows.
