TikTok Trend Turns Into Weapon Of Shame, Dance Routine Flips Camera And Dignity Gets Destroye

Tech News:  The ‘Flip the Camera’ trend involves a group dancing while using the front camera, so they can see themselves. At the end, they suddenly flip the camera toward the person recording. That person is usually unaware they will appear in the video. The reveal is often used for comedic effect. Viewers then react to how the person looks or behaves. Critics say the trend is built on making someone else uncomfortable. It is spreading faster than expected on TikTok.

The trend has grown rapidly but has faced equal amount of criticism.

Several high-profile creators have spoken against it. TikTok user @hhyy1037 described it as “disgusting”, adding that the person shown is usually “the kindest human” who only agreed to help.

Larger accounts are urging followers not to support such content. Message is clear: humor should not harm.
