With TikTok trends becoming more popular daily, the Foopah challenge has become a new rage on the platform. With many people showcasing their talent, humor, and creativity on the platform, the Foopah challenge is about women flashing their privates for a split second.
The videos are recorded in a manner where the face of the Tiktoker is not visible. At the same time, the video is shot as a reflection in a mirror that has been kept far away. This also makes it difficult for TikTok to flag these kinds of videos.
The trend was started by a TikToker, @oopsfoopahhhh, in January 2023. While most accounts are blocked, she made this video where she flashed her bre*sts in front of the camera. At the same time, it is also being criticized by many on social media, as many feel that such videos and trends promote nud*ty, which is also unsafe for the younger lot.
How do creators shoot the Foopah Challenge? More details were explored after the trend went viral on TikTok.
Each day, TikTok welcomes a new trend with open arms. However, TikTokers nowadays are about the Foopah challenge, where women discreetly flash their privates to the camera. The same is done so that it avoids the platform's auto-moderation bots.
Furthermore, women are creating videos by standing in a dark corner, reflecting a flash in the mirror, using other tools like lipstick containers which are glassy from the outside, and even sunglasses.
TikTok being full of these videos, many women were also seen using their long hair to hide most of their bre*sts but still showing a part to indulge in the trend.
While most of these videos are made to increase viewership and gain more traction, they are created so that TikTok cannot flag them. At the same time, many have been sharing their shocking reactions to the trend, and others are also finding it inappropriate and vulgar.
Parents have also expressed concerns as many kids nowadays are super active on the platform. Hence, the trend can be unsafe and inappropriate for them.
Furthermore, several users have called the trend "ridiculous," pointed out how it is not legally correct, and forced the social media platform to take certain measures. At the same time, many have also pointed out that the Foopah trend can also harm many's mental health, as they are exposed to inappropriate content.
Users should be encouraged to report such videos, as it might be possible that TikTok might not be able to flag them on its own due to how the videos are shot. Reporting such content can help prevent its spread on the platform. Hence, follow the below-mentioned steps to flag and report such videos:
- Go to the video you want to report.
- Find the arrow that appears in the bottom right corner of the video.
- From the list of choices, select "report."
- Choose "misleading" or any other option you feel is the most appropriate.
- Click on submit.
