The TikTok Pregnant Lemon
Over the past couple weeks there has been a mystery pregnant lady hiding behind a lemon filter that has gained huge traction on TikTok. She has been alluding to the fact that she is pregnant and that she is also a major social media star and she has even been giving hints as to who she could be and how big of a following she might have. While this seems harmless, it has actually been causing a decent bit of uproar in a lot of TikTok communities because of how insensitive some people have become. People have been going into random TikTokers comment sections and accusing them of being the lemon and bombarding them with questions about their potential pregnancy. Some examples of people caught in the fire include Bailey from the 2010's YouTube lifestyle channel Brooklyn and Bailey, who even had to make a public post talking about how she has been trying for a baby for months but has been extremely unsuccessful. This is harmful to women like her who are having problems with fertility because it reminds them of their struggles and makes them feel lesser than. Another individual caught in the crossfire was Tabitha Swatosh, a popular content creator who was friends with former hype house creator Alex Warren. She was receiving thousands of comments asking if she was a Lemon and when she was going to make an announcement before ultimately having to make a video discussing her recent break up with her long-term boyfriend. While people may think comments and questions like these are harmless, they are harmful to individuals who are going through rough patches in life.
This started off as fun but went a little too far, assumptions about other people lives is too much.
ReplyDeleteI have briefly seen this, and at first I thought it was funny, but now that people are becoming way too invested into other people's lives, I find it kind of pathetic.
ReplyDeleteI also saw this on tik tok once and a while and I saw the video of where she showed who she was and people in the comments were saying things like who are you and things like that and saying rude and disrespectful things to and about her
ReplyDeleteReading this is honestly kind of funny because how did we get here. This is kind of weird and I see that it's for laughs, but I do think that the comments need to stay on the page of the person posting them.
ReplyDeleteI saw this a while ago but haven't seen any videos recently. I just find it a little weird how something started out as funny quickly became weird and invasive in a way. People sometimes tend to get way too interested in other peoples lives and take away the humor in videos because of that. I think this is one of those examples where it has gone too far.
