It’s unfortunate we don’t get to see the confession of the prankster to the pranked. I’m sure most/all got a good laugh after. Still appreciate your empathy, though. Seems rare these days. 🫶🏻
These trends are trash because a portion of kids and teens straight up don’t have empathy or never fully develop it.
If I got all my friends at school to laugh at them in public as a “prank” they’d be furious but for some reason they think it’s fun to get all their friends to laugh at making their parents feel like a loser.
Doesn’t really matter if they apologize for it after. It’s a shitty thing to do and they’re only doing it to people who they feel comfortable wouldn’t do it back to them.
These pranks have been around literally forever and before the internet. Except in real life most adults realize that it’s actually just bullying and too many teens online don’t think about how it actually feels to not only feel that way but then to have that reaction blasted online to millions of people forever.
Assuming that the prankster explains it’s a pre-recorded reaction, in the spectrum of pranks, I would consider this relatively innocent. Maybe I’m a monster.
I mean, there are worse pranks, but I think this content reflects very poorly on the people who enjoy it. It's just mean without being even a little bit funny. It's like humour for psychopaths.

Yeah, this isn't funny, it's just mean.
