TikTok has taken the world by storm over the last few years. The app allows users to create, watch and share short videos set to music and sound effects using their mobile phones. So many people have gained followers and made a career out of creating content on it, but behind the viral trends, dances, amazing and sometimes quirky videos, and inspiring content, a dark side has emerged.

So many people have expressed their opinions on it and now I want to share mine.  First of all, for anyone who doesn't keep up with celebrity news and doesn't know who Bianca Censori is, she is an Australian model married to American rapper Kanye West, also known as Ye.  Photo from US Weekly I say "outfit" in air quotes because, well, look at it. Can you really call that an outfit? It's like she wrapped herself in plastic or cling wrap and I don't like it at all. How was she allowed to enter like that? I'm sure all award shows and big events like this have a dress code attendees should adhere to.
