Your Teen Might Be a Victim (Or Perpetrator) of a ‘BP Edit’: What Parents Need To Know About This Toxic TikTok Trend

What does your teen know about "black pill" culture?

www.sheknows.com

Specifically, a toxic new trend on TikTok designed to tear others down — and kill any fledgling sparks of happiness in your teen. This trend is called the “bp edit,” and it may be designed to look harmless, but sometimes, that’s the worst kind of bullying.

The “bp edit” is a sign of a darker internet culture influencing the minds of our youth, and it’s definitely something parents should look out for.

The ‘bp edit’ stands for “black pill edit,” and it’s part of a misogynistic incel (involuntary celibate) culture. To understand, first you have to know what black pill is.

A 2021 study published in Men and Masculinities analyzed more than 9,000 comments from a leading incel forum and found that this ideology normalizes misogyny, treats women as scapegoats, and encourages traditional gender norms.

So to participate in the “bp edit” trend, you take a TikTok from someone else, and re-edit the video to bully, shame, and embarrass the original poster. For example, this video of a teen girl, who said in part, “if I was a boy, I’d be like the hottest guy at school.” Someone edited the video and wrote over the top, “you can fool yourself. I promise it won’t help.” Then they edited the video to make the girl look like a boy, with light facial hair and a short haircut, writing, “mogged” on top. “Mogged,” by the way, is a term that means someone is physically superior to someone else. So in this video, they slammed the attractiveness of the girl next, by adding clips of male models and influencers, implying that this girl isn’t attractive.

Another TikToker took a video of a group of teen boys, who walked in front of the camera one by one with text over saying, “you can’t have a group full of good looking people.” The TikToker who did the “bp edit” zoomed in on one of the boys in the group, then added a bunch of videos of male models in order to say this guy wasn’t good-looking. It’s immature, stupid, and just plain mean for no reason. “Bp edits” are brutal, and I can’t even imagine what it would be like to see yourself a victim of one of these takedowns, especially during the vulnerable adolescent years.

Even if you aren’t a victim of one of these edits, teens are still influenced by them. Some even shared videos of the “looksmaxxing” or other ways they are trying to get more attractive with the hope of being included in someone else’s “bp edit,” as if it was an honor instead of a horrible new trend.

It’s imperative to talk to your teens about the “bp edit” trend. Whether they are a victim, they are doing it to others, or they are trying to look attractive enough to be included in someone else’s “bp edit,” this is worth a conversation about self-worth, harmful internet culture, and protecting their mental health.

That’s really what those bluepilled retards get from all of this

“Bp edits” are brutal

bully, shame, and embarrass the original poster

And it’s literally just lookism edits. Looks don’t matter, but highlighting NOTHING but a mog is considered bullying, toxic, shaming and embarrassing

I don't have tik tok, but I have seen black pill adjacent videos get lots of views on there. Most notably looksmaxing content, which seems to have a noticeable effect on the current state of Looksmax.
