A 16-year-old girl in France died last month attempting the viral “scarf game” — a variation of TikTok’s deadly “blackout challenge” that has claimed several lives over the last year.
Christy Sibali Dominique Gloire Gassaille, who grew up in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, was reportedly at home when she tried the deadly stunt. She died May 27, Jam Press reports.
The dangerous pursuit involves fastening cloth around the neck to asphyxiate oneself until passing out for alleged internet clout. Unfortunately, as with the “blackout challenge,” this exploit can restrict the oxygen flow to the brain, causing seizures, serious injury and even death.

Horribly sad. Prayers for the family.
Thank China and the CCP for the Wuhan Virus and TikTok. It’s disturbing that so many knuckleheads continue to use TikTok.
“Challenge”
At 16, I was driving a car...graduating from high school, making plans for a future. She was letting an unknown entity prod her to get clicks by doing dangerous stuff. Sorry...she was stupid...tons of those people like that...lost a fellow high school graduating senior...he took off in a rowboat to an offshore island..in a small boat whose small leaks were patched with wax...another guy died trying to beat a train to the railroad crossing...another guy was hunting shark with a shotgun...got hit instead...very sad, but many people are plain thick in the head...
You sound like this Jim Carroll song.
Here’s the link with lyrics, in case you do not know it:

I mean no disrespect to this poor girl and her family. RIP and SUE TIK TOK.
Some people jump from a cruise ship on a bet...
A 16 year old girl should have known better. Maybe she was drug addled or somewhat retarded. Sad, but some actions will cancel out any second chances.
Thinning the herd. If someone is stupid enough to try these stunts perhaps it’s just chlorine in the gene pool.
Well....sorta. At least the same sentiment is there.
But thank you for introducing me to that style....Judging from the lyrics of the song, Carroll was from New York, had many clinically depressed friend who were drug addicts. And he wrote the song before hepatitis vaccines and anti-hepatitis drugs.
The music in that song....probably sounded better when he was stoned......now all we need is a BTS version talking about all the Kpop victims of suicide and untimely(?) deaths. Good mental health is more important than success in any field of endeavour.
Freegards.
If they’re there that stupid then self cleaning of the gene pool is what you get and deserve.
Stupidity is what it is. Thinning the herd works for me.
Blaming Tik Tok is like blaming a gun.
Winnowing out the chaff.
Sub-Saharan intelligence....adolescent stupidity....
If the people at tiktok cared, they would block and ban any video that incites to dangerous acts. But they don’t care.
“Stupidity is what it is. Thinning the herd works for me.”
Yes. Cleansing the gene pool. Another retard who never will procreate like her parents did. Any parent who allows kids to access Tiktoc is guilty of child neglect.
Parents need to find an EFFECTIVE way to warn their kids about the consequences of doing dumb things.
