An artist on TikTok has faced strong backlash over a “slavery-themed bathroom” seen in a tour of her home. In a since-deleted post, artist and TikToker Hannah Polskin shared a video of her bathroom, showing various pieces of decoration that appeared to be influenced by African culture. Some of the wall decor included a picture of the African-American boxer Muhammad Ali, traditional African masks and a toilet roll holder made out of chains, raising many eyebrows due to its connotations with enslaved Africans and the Atlantic slave trade. Before it was deleted, the original video was shared by TikToker @jpgeez, who raised questions and concerns about the decor. He said: “So, I have questions. Is this your bathroom? Did someone ask you to style the bathroom like this? “I think the thing that I’m wondering about, and what I would imagine most people are wondering about, would be the toilet paper holder with the choice of the rest of the decor, you know.” @jpgeez #greenscreen #greenscreenvideo @Hannah Polskin just curious ? The TikToker reasoned that on their own, the pieces of art would be fine. But, when the chains are placed amongst African pieces, the connotations of slavery are hard to ignore. Responding to his video, one person wrote: “What in the Get Out bathroom.” Another wrote: “Living for the British Museum aesthetic.” Commenting on one of Polskin’s existing videos, someone asked the artist: “Btw what did you mean when you added the chain?” Another person said: “Are we gonna discuss the bathroom theme???” “The bathroom is actually diabolical,” one person commented. indy100 has contacted Hannah Polskin for comment.

A woman who was left soaked despite wearing what was supposed to be a waterproof jacket has gone viral. Walking in the rain is hardly fun at the best of times, but when you thought the waterproof jacket you were wearing would at least keep you dry, getting wet through just adds insult to injury. TikToker Jenn thought she would be safe wearing the waterproof jacket of the well-known brand North Face, but soon found a few issues with the outdoor brand’s clothing when she wore it on a rainy hike in New Zealand. In a viral video that has been viewed almost 11 million times, Jenn could be seen dripping with water as she walked and spoke into the camera. Jenn explained: “I’ve got a bone to pick with North Face. I bought this ‘rain jacket’ a couple of days ago because the tag in the advertising said that it was waterproof, as a rain jacket would be.” She laughed, before adding, “I’m 100 per cent sure that it’s raining outside and I’m soaking wet.” @fannypack310 @thenorthface i’m not mad i’m disappointed …and wet “Listen, I don't want a refund, I want you to redesign this raincoat to make it waterproof and express delivery it up to the top of Hooker Valley Lake in New Zealand,” she explained, before concluding, “Waterproof my a**”. In the comments, it appears she is not the first person to have an issue with North Face clothing. One person claimed: “North Face used to be necessary outdoor wear. EVERYONE wore them in Alaska. At some point their quality just wasn't there so we all switched to Patagonia.” Another said: “I’m a geoscience nerd who’s often in inclement weather in the field. North Face sold out. Get a GoreTex ArcTeryx jacket if you can.” In a follow-up video, Jenn revealed a pretty major update as it seems people from North Face noticed the viral clip. She explained that the marketing team saw the video and got in touch to fly Jenn in a helicopter to the top of a mountain in New Zealand and gave her brand new rain gear. @fannypack310 Replying to @rzamz @thenorthface made it out of my burn book People in the comments were dubious about whether the new products work as advertised. Someone asked, “But does the new rain gear work?”, to which Jenn responded, “We’ll see on my next rainy hike.” How to join the indy100's free WhatsApp channel Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter Have your say in our news democracy.

Whether it's home inspiration, easy food tutorials, cleaning hacks, style advice, or creating a whole new vocabulary – if there's one thing TikTok doesn't lack, it's variety. In recent months, the popular platform has invented a string of cryptic codewords, including 401 and mascara. Both terms are often used by women on the app to talk discretely about certain areas of their lives. But now, there's a term becoming increasingly common on TikTok: "Gyatt". While the term isn't exclusive to TikTok, it's certainly become the latest slang word making its way across the platform. Many people were left baffled by the word, forcing them to ask fellow users the definition. The meaning is pretty straightforward. It's simply a shortened version of "god damn". The term was seemingly first used by YouTube and Twitch streamer YourRage who would say "gyatt" whenever an attractive female would appear on his streams. Kai Cenat has also popularised the term. The slang term has gone on to become mainstream on TikTok, with many Gen Zers using it in their videos and in comments sections. Elsewhere, "gyatt" apparently stands for "get your act together," according to Acronym Finder. However, this isn't the commonly used way of using the word. Meanwhile, Gen Z TikTokers have gone on to create a whole new language of their own, including the likes of: Cheugy: When a millennial is trying too hard to be cool. Rizz: Short for charisma, thus a 'rizzler' is someone with lots of charisma. Suss: When something feels sketchy or suspicious. Situationship: A romantic relationship with someone that remains undefined. No cap: Another way of saying you're not lying.
