“Let’s Hear It For The Man Of The Year”: Women Exposed Ridiculous Men With These 46 Texts
We welcome you, our dear Pandas, to an award show called “Man Of The Year,” where women are putting the most trashy and toxic behaviors men have exhibited in the spotlight for everyone to judge and shame. Now it’s up to you to decide which of these men wins the “Man Of The Year” title by upvoting those who, in your eyes, are the embodiment of a walking red flag.

This cathartic trend on TikTok, where women started sharing their experiences with men who did them dirty, screenshots and all, and titling them “Men Of The Year,” was inspired by a song by a popular artist, Lorde, called “Man Of The Year.”
While the song itself is about gender exploration, its lyrics, "Let's hear it for the man of the year," have been taken by Gen Z creators to ironically title the toxic men in their lives as “Men Of The Year” when in reality they’re anything but.

Find a guy that looks like him. Send him a message with a picture saying "don't worry babe. It's not cheating because he looks like you." Silence your phone and enjoy the freakout. Do not actually have s€x with him. At least not until you've broken up with the outdated version.
The trend started on June 5th on TikTok, when user @violetaylaa posted a selfie video captioned, "My man of the year is my ex who got mad at me when he cheated on me." This is considered to be the earliest video, which used Lorde’s song to call out men for being toxic in relationships. At the time of writing, the video has over 3.2 million views.
Soon after, it inspired others to do the same, and now there are over 179.9K videos under the same sound.
The trend became so popular that even Lorde herself responded with a video reacting to it by rolling and widening her eyes and shaking her head, captioned “These messages...”

Wait, this is actually a thing? I thought it was only a bad plot for adult videos.
The videos under the “Man Of The Year” sound have quite a straightforward format. The majority of them are slideshow videos that begin with a selfie captioned "Let's hear it for the…" that changes to another slide with "Man Of The Year" written on it over a piece of evidence, usually a screenshotted message that shows how toxic a male ex was. In other videos, the evidence may come in the form of a video or even an EDM remix that an ex-boyfriend made out of a voice memo of an ex-girlfriend crying.

Loosing trust in your partner is the one thing that's the hardest to recover to save your couple. You can have ups and downs in love and attraction, but trust, once it's been down.. the person you let down will struggle to get over it even if they really want to.

My ex actually did this to me. She text at 3 am saying a guy she invited to hers wouldn't leave and wanted me to go to hers and make him. Turned out she was all over him at the club, slept with him, regretted it and wanted me, her fiance at the time to make him leave. She must have thought I was the dumbest guy walking

To be fair, I kinda dont believe her either. Why would you text in this scenario. What can he do?
Ellinor 5 months ago
She is being followed and she fears for her life, she is panicking and texting her boyfriend, someone who should reassure her and try to help her. And her, what can she do in this situation ? Call the police ? That won't help, there is nothing they can do either because no crimes are being done. So yeah, she is alone, followed, panicking, she needs reassurance, not "this".

I find it kinda hard to believe that she really thinks she's being followed. If you're actually scared that you're being followed, do you waste your time on correcting 'importbat' to 'important'? I wonder if she's creating drama to manipulate him into responding to her. I don't know, it just looks fishy.

I kind of felt that way too because one time I had someone follow me through walmart and it made me uncomfortable so I called my husband. I didn't text, I called. Maybe other people do actually text in these situations (I guess especially if you are trying to be quiet) but that they'd keep texting and not call seemed odd to me.

I think maybe you misunderstood who's who in this conversation - the man is the one who said, "Youll be fine." Men definitely can be hurt and scared and so forth, but that's not what's going on in this situation. I'm not sure what the guy could've done in this situation, but simply saying, "Youll be fine" isn't the right answer.

What is wrong with you ? This woman is being followed and she fears for her life, so unless it ever happened to you you really need to shut it.
Load More Replies...The women using this trend have revealed some truly shocking and heartbreaking things they’ve experienced while being in a toxic relationship. Like this one TikTok user who wrote, “Got me pregnant at freshly 20 yrs old. Promised me everything. Left me a month after finding out. Blocked me and everyone I know on everything. Got with a new girl. And still doesn’t care how it all affects me or his baby.”
The trend invites women to share about the struggles they’ve experienced in their relationships and cope with them in a dark humor kind of way, which Gen Z has formed a tendency of doing quite a lot.
This generation of young people is more open about mental health than past generations, which can be attributed to the fact that Gen Z grew up with readily available technology and social media. Social media, in particular, gave them a platform from day one for their voices to be outspoken and heard.

Normalizing the conversation about mental health and traumatic past experiences is good, as it allows young people to deal with their issues and move on from them instead of being stuck. They don’t want to be held back by any mental health concerns, so they are often glad to get treatment for them, like choosing therapy or sharing their experiences in a dark humor kind of way online.

Yes you freakin ding-dong! It is both of those things why don’t you know that
In fact, 53% of Gen Zers have sought professional mental health services at some point, and 87% report feeling comfortable discussing their mental health. In addition, 60% report being able to freely share their struggles, like the women participating in this trend did. However, we can’t discredit the previous generations, as they also had a part in paving the way for Gen Z’s openness by increasing awareness of mental health and helping to reduce the stigma.

My first GF kissed a boy in front of me and told me it was OK because we were both girls. She was my GF, he was one of my closest friends. Neither of them got to say anything else before they were both told to sod straight off indefinitely. Admittedly this was more than 20 years ago and worse has happened since but it was a stupid argument from a 16 year old then and it's a stupid argument now from an adult

“Young people today are much more willing to talk about their mental health,” agrees Patrick Griswold, MSN, M.Ed., RN. “The stigma around mental health struggles has significantly decreased because it’s harder to stigmatize something that’s so widespread. Therapy is now seen as beneficial, and as more people engage with it and find it helpful, the stigma continues to fade.”

I don’t understand a thing I’m looking at. Not the text, not the photo, and certainly not “kedah,” which I assume is misspelled but I can’t think what it was sposta be. D**n; people get dumber by the day, don’t they?

Alright but there is context to this post. That woman was drunk in a bar and a few men saw her and they decided to r@pe her and filmed her while doing it. Her boyfriend (that posted this) saw it happen and he did nothing, then decided to post this on TikTok. He then added in the video description that he saw that she was being restrained and barely conscious, and yet he did nothing. He saw his girlfriend being r@ped, did nothing, and posted this atrocity on social media. He is the man of the year, not her.

This is one of the dumbest lists I’ve seen on BP yet. Are this many people in the world really this stupid? Is this the world I get out of bed and go to work to keep running? WHY??

Did you really post that and then come back 2 hours later to post it again? Or was there some sort of glitch of the site?
