TikTok under fire for allowing user \u201chunting down\u201d non-binary people to keep account TikTok: steelewalker421liveTikTokers were outraged when a user claiming to \u201chunt\u201d people who identify as non-binary was not banned from the platform after their video was taken down. TikTok is known to cause bizarre videos to go viral from time to time. Typically, these abnormal TikToks are harmless trends, like egg-peeling and hot sauce dancing, which offer up a good laugh. This time, though, a video gained traction over a user\u2019s supposed plan to \u201chunt\u201d people, disturbing many on the video-sharing platform. TikTok users outraged User \u2018steelewalker421live\u2019 had a video taken down by TikTok, in which they planned to \u201csnipe hunt\u201d non-binary people. In the strange video, Steele walks around a Motel 6 and says, \u201cWe\u2019re gonna get all the non-binaries picked up in the back of my truck and we\u2019re going to take them to a hospital.\u201d He then harasses a number of workers and explains to one: \u201cIf you have any non-binaries here, I\u2019m shutting this motherf**ker down.\u201d A man wearing a F*ck Joe Biden hoodie attempted to round up \u201cnon-binaries\u201d at a Motel 6 and put them in the back of his vehicle to take to the hospital. The man, \u201csteelewalker42live,\u201d claimed he is doing \u201cthe Lord\u2019s work\u201d by \u201chunting\u201d them. pic.twitter.com\/8stUcSMPVR \u2014 PatriotTakes \ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf8 (@patriottakes) April 3, 2022 Steele has explained in a follow-up video that a \u201csnipe hunt\u201d is a practical joke, and that his stunt wasn\u2019t supposed to be taken seriously. Clearly, whatever joke he was attempting didn\u2019t land, as tons of people on social media were shocked by his bizarre behavior. One user said, \u201cYou don\u2019t go \u2018HUNTING\u2019 for other human beings.\u201d Another user genuinely couldn\u2019t believe the video was real and said, \u201cIs this satire? Despite the outrage and the removed post, Steele hasn\u2019t been banned entirely from the platform and continues to post videos to his account.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
