Where it all started
All this started after a TikTok star shared a video where he glorified brutality against women. Faizal Siddiqui had shared a TikTok video where he was seen splashing a liquid on a girl, after which the girl was seen with a scarred face made with makeup. When Faizal Siddiqui posted this, he used the line, “Usne tumhe chhod dia? Jiske liye tumne Mujhe chhoda tha....."
Swara Bhasker took to Twitter and expressed that she is not happy with the trend. In her tweet, she raised questions about the platform and Tiktoker Faizal Siddiqui. Take a look at the tweet here.
Hey @TikTok_IN why and how are you allowing this kind of content -which is SO obviously celebrating and promoting aggression and violence against women, and perpetrating false misogynistic stereotypes -to be published & viewed freely on your platform??? #Shame https://t.co/cdnlttQKQp

हर बार जब फ़िल्मों में महिला विरोधी मज़ाक़, sexist stereotypes या लिंग आधारित हिंसा को बढ़ावा दिया गया है या ‘normalise’ किया गया है- जो अक्सर हुआ है- तो अनेकों लोगों ने उसपर सवाल किये हैं! आपको सवालों से दिक़्क़त क्या है? और हाँ.. महिलाओं पर हिंसा romanticise करना ग़लत है! 🙏🏽🤷🏾♀️ https://t.co/NjwjTNTckP
