EVERYONE LOVES LULU, Ep. 23 - TUI LETULI
Originally created as a way to empower the female body, the TikTok silhouette challenge is being discouraged by women, who warn that the trend is being used by men to gawk at naked women. Their PSAs have since gone viral on social media.
The original trend entails placing a red filter over a clip of oneself gyrating naked or semi-nude so it appears as if their shadow is dancing seductively. However, social-media opportunists have discovered how to remove the filter, thereby revealing the poster’s bare-naked or partially clad bodies.

A subreddit on peeking behind the digital red curtain, called r/SilhouetteUnfiltered, has been suspended, while Twitter scrapped several accounts that were editing the TikTok posts and shaming the participants.
