TikTok women are screwing up the new “POV” meme so badly that the MSM is now trying to help coach them…
Oh, ladies, maybe it’s better if you log out of TikTok and go fold laundry or something?
Just kidding… sort of.
That’s what some people are suggesting, after loads of ladies can’t seem to figure out how to use the new “POV” or “Point of View” meme correctly.
First off, what is the “POV” meme?
Well, it’s a funny or ironic video that is filmed from the creators point of view – meaning, the creator is not actually IN the video, they (and you) are simply looking at the scene or object from their perspective.
That’s the entire point of the “POV” meme (pun intended)…
It’s a funny look at a situation or an object from someone else’s vantage point.
But women are not understanding this and are screwing up the meme so badly that now, the mainstream media has actually stepped in to help.
There’s a fantastic thread on Twitter by a person who goes by the name “Bad” Billy Pratt that highlights the biggest mistakes that are made by the oh-so-clueless women of TikTok.
Here are a couple of examples:
The POV meme is an inherently masculine device– it favors anonymity. The content creator cannot feature both themselves and their perspective, they have to choose.

Parade Magazine is now trying to help confused women get their POV right:
“Point of view” existed long before teenagers took over TikTok and made POV a social media slang term. In literature, the point of view is the perspective from which the story is told. There are three main types of point of view that a writer can choose from to narrate a story. The first is “first person point of view,” where one of the characters describes the unfolding events from their own perspective, using words like “I” or “me.”
The second type is “second person point of view,” which employs the pronoun “you” in the writing. And the third person point of view is when the author or another presence narrates the story, using “he” and “she” pronouns when talking about the characters.
In a manner similar to first person point of view in literature, this device is also frequently used in television and film. These POV shots tape a scene from a specific camera angle so that the audience is experiencing the action through the eyes of a particular character.
Oh, ladies, why are you so cringe?
The inability of women to understand the meme, is now becoming a meme.
The circle of life…

Maybe this funny quip from Billy will help answer why women are so utterly lost:
And Billy also makes a very good point when he says the following comment:
The question becomes: why make content using a meme you don’t understand?
Because women chase what’s popular– it doesn’t matter what it is or why it’s popular.
Social media trends have been shaped by the female ego.
Well said, and couldn’t agree more with your POV, Billy…
