Social media platforms are notorious for promoting highly inappropriate content, and despite efforts by major platforms to combat this issue, they continue to face repeat attacks. Recently, there has been a rise in popular TikTok filters that contain explicit images that many users prefer to avoid. Unfortunately, finding and completely removing these filters is challenging.
These filters serve as a reminder of a previous incident that had a significant impact on the platform a few months ago. The incident involved the rise of highly inappropriate trends inspired by disturbing portrayals of anime and cartoon characters. This led users to believe that it was a continuation of a similar traumatic event that occurred late last year.
On December 22, 2022, TikTok users were shocked when a slideshow containing explicit anime imagery began circulating widely on the platform, in direct violation of TikTok’s community guidelines. Although TikTok ultimately removed the original presentation and related videos, the impact on the users who found them was deeply disturbing.
The incident first occurred on the night of Thursday, December 22, and continued to circulate on TikTok until the following day. Now, with the proliferation of various ‘777’ filters that also display explicit content, users are reminded of the earlier incident, reopening those haunting memories.
Why aren’t the 777 filters removed?
The appearance of the 777 filters on TikTok in mid-May raised concerns among users as to why they were not removed immediately. These filters clearly violated TikTok’s rules, but seemed to pose a greater challenge for the platform’s algorithm to identify them.
The exact reason why TikTok didn’t catch on to these filters quickly is unknown. However, in the last few days, most of the 777 filters have been banned. Despite these efforts, new filters continue to pop up on a daily basis, making it difficult for the moderation team to stay ahead.
The constant presence of new filters poses a significant challenge for TikTok’s moderation efforts as they struggle to keep up with the constant influx of inappropriate content.
What are the 777 filters compared to the December 22 incident on TikTok?
Users have recently noticed a trend on TikTok involving highly inappropriate content inspired by disturbing images of anime and cartoon characters. Many users believe that this trend is a continuation of a similar incident that occurred at the end of 2022, which left lasting consequences.
Before going into the details of the incident that occurred on December 22, 2022, it is important to understand the nature of the filters in the ‘777’ category. Although the origin of the name of this trend is unknown, users can easily find these filters by searching for the corresponding hashtag on TikTok. However, some users reported that they couldn’t find those filters when they specifically searched for them, suggesting that TikTok may have removed them.
Two popular filters currently dominating the platform are the Favorite Princess Peach filter and the Hello Kitty filter, both of which contain explicit images of fictional characters.
On December 22, 2022, a widely shared slideshow featuring explicit anime imagery caused a stir among TikTok users, clearly violating the platform’s community guidelines. TikTok eventually removed the original presentation and related videos, but the impact on the users who viewed them was deeply disturbing.
