"The trend goes like this: A group of people, typically kids, gives their phone to someone else and asks them to record them doing a dance. They record the dance on the front-facing camera so the dancers can see themselves and at the end of the dance, they move towards the camera and flip it to reveal the person recording them."
"Bullying isn't always loud or obvious, sometimes it hides behind 'it's just for fun.' But if someone gets hurt, then it wasn't fun to begin with. We can choose to be better. We can choose not to add to the negativity or make people feel ashamed of themselves. Social media doesn't have to be a place where people get laughed at, it can be a place where we actually respect each other."
A TikTok trend involves groups handing a phone to a person to record a dance on the front-facing camera, then flipping the camera at the end to reveal the recorder. The trend likely originated in late October with a creator whose video gained over a million views and was tracked by Know Your Meme. Many users label the practice bullying because targets often include unpopular peers, people experiencing homelessness, or elderly individuals, and the reveal is framed as the joke. Critics say the trend fosters insecurity and shame and urge choosing respect over tearing others down on social media.
