Comedian and TV host Vice Ganda openly expressed his dissatisfaction with the trending content on TikTok, where users engage in lip reading conversations of hosts without the camera rolling and without the use of microphones.
Vice Ganda criticized the practice, deeming it undesirable and too nosy, with a hint of gossip.
“May mga madlang people na nagvi-video tapos nili-lip read tayo sa TikTok, that’s so bad,” remarked the comedian during the show.
Highlighting the potential risks of such content, Vice Ganda also pointed out that hosts may occasionally delve into personal discussions not meant for public consumption.
He emphasized the potential dangers of spreading misinformation if the lip-reading interpretations are inaccurate.
“Ang nakakatakot kapag mali yung sinasabi, tapos kakalat,” he added, expressing concern about the potential consequences of misinterpretations.
“Syempre nakaka offend sa part namin kasi syempre deserve din naman namin ng privacy at mag usap usap bilang magkakaibigan”
