Why did the earphone waist challenge become viral in TikTok?

Earphones Waist

This challenge has become viral on the TikTok platform because many girls started to exhibit the size of their waist by using earphones to measure it. This challenge started from the news account on Weibo which is a Chinese app. That is why many started to post videos of their waist and tying it with an earphone. After that, it became a viral video on TikTok until it started to receive lots of backlashes from the people who called it a bad trend.

Why it is dangerous?

According to many experts and TikTok users, this challenge promotes negative body image. A woman with a larger waist can feel left out and may get a bad feeling about her body. As this waist challenge is only for women with thin waists this can cause insecurities for women with larger waists.

Similarly, TikTok has promoted many challenges like this that cause toxic beliefs to take the center stage. So this can break the confidence and self-worth of many people as they may feel excluded. It has become a negative platform.
