TikToker slammed over \u2018cringy\u2019 reactions to food TikTok: yuddygangtvTikToker Elijah Smith has made viewers uncomfortable with the way he reacts to his muck-bangs. TikToker Elijah Smith has gone viral for his many muck-bangs. Having 6.3M followers on TikTok, it\u2019s no wonder why he\u2019s received a plethora of comments. As he takes on some of the world\u2019s tastiest treats like pizza, sushi, and jumbo hot pretzels, he exaggerates his reactions, making viewers rather squirmish. Some viewers have even deemed the foodie \u201ccringy\u201d and \u201cembarrassing.\u201d Viewers compare TikToker\u2019s food reactions to woman\u2019s menstrual cycle Though Smith has a large following on TikTok, not everyone has been supportive of his food content, saying that he needs \u201cmental help.\u201d One viewer of his viral \u201cMcChicken McFlickin\u2019\u201d video went as far as saying that maybe if they reported the video, he\u2019d finally stop. Another even compared his food reactions to a woman having an exaggerated menstrual cycle, while many said that no \u201cgrown man\u201d should be acting the way he does. Viewer reactions aren\u2019t far-fetched, though, as Smith incorporates wild and loud sounds during his muck-bangs. He also licks his fingers, excessively smacks his mouth, and rarely wipes his face with a napkin. The negative comments may have been triggered by those with misophonia, the fear of eating noises, as 1 in 5 adults (18% of the population) have been diagnosed with the phobia. Though Smith has been on the receiving end of cynical responses, he continues to post as frequently as possible, seemingly unamused by the mass criticism.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
