TikTok is full of different trends and challenges. That’s actually what makes the app so addictive. But not all trends are good; and every now and then we see a new one pop up that makes us stop and think. One trend that has emerged on TikTok is creators playing the role of victims of one of the darkest periods in human history.
There is a new trend that has emerged on TikTok where creators are making point of view videos or POVs. These videos are quite creative because there is no real script, but the creators are just reacting to how the situation would have been. The POV videos are personally manipulated by how certain people would react in certain circumstances.
The latest trend of these POV videos is quite bizarre and also offensive. It involves creators dressing up as Holocaust victims and role-playing how they would react in such circumstances. In some videos, people even talk to “God” after they have died in the concentration camps.
Creators go to great lengths to dress up in torn clothes and contour their faces to look like they have actually been to a concentration camp. Point of view videos, as the name suggests, are videos that are shot from certain points of view. Unlike regular videos that are shot from the audience’s point of view, these videos are shot from the point of view of the person (actor) and are often very engaging.
