“If you move, you’re gay”: This new homophobic TikTok challenge is wreaking havoc in playgrounds

Spread the love

A new homophobic TikTok challenge has been emerging for a few weeks. A simple "game": the first to move is "gay", as if homosexuality were a shame, an insult.

A “game” with homophobic overtones is a hit in playgrounds. Inspired by a TikTok challenge, the “If you move, you're gay”, is becoming popular among young people, and is spreading a worrying idea: being homosexual is a cause for shame, even an insult.

An online hit

We knew the “1,2,3, soleil!”which punishes the first to move with a simple defeat. Now, the “If you move, you're gay”, inflicts a more severe punishment: shame. Losers are called “homosexuals”, an orientation that takes on the air of an insult in some playgrounds.

The idea comes from a very famous TikToker: Alfonsopinpin. The young man is followed by more than a million people on the Chinese social network.

He defines himself as a trendsetter. And it has not failed, as evidenced by the dozens of videos repeating this homophobic game on his account. Viewed thousands, even millions of times, these images are boosted by their own success and enter into a virtuous circle of audience.

Most of the videos of this kind that circulate on TikTok are English or Spanish speaking, but some are beginning to appear in the language of Molière. And most of their authors are young, and have been playing since their middle school, their high school, in the company of their classmates.

L' homophobia persists

“Again, another year, we see the persistence and the anchoring of exclusion, discrimination and hatred in against lesbian, gay, bi, trans and intersex (LGBTI) people, despite the evolution of laws and mentalities”, deplores SOS Homophobie< /em> in his latest report. The collective reports that since 2022, the number of homophobic attacks has been on the rise again.

Another interesting fact is that the internet is the primary context in which this violence occurs. What worrying when we know that within a popular social network, popular with young people, there are hidden fundamentally homophobic tendencies.
