Oops. 'Don't Judge Challenge' Completely Backfires on Social Media

Cue in the drum roll, there's yet another challenge taking over social media, Except, it's totally backfiring.

Social media's new obsession is called the 'Don't Judge Challenge', which was intended to help end body shaming of all kinds. Only, many netizens just didn't get the point. Followers of the challenge posted fabricated and 'ugly' photographs and videos of themselves by adding 'flaws' to their face - acne, spectacles, unibrows and the like - for the before shot, followed by their own original flawless face for the after.

Yep, that escalated rather quickly. #Backfired #Stupid

Just like the 'Belly Button Challenge' and 'Collarbone Challenge,' this trend too has received a lot of criticism from people at large:

The don't judge challenge is honestly dumb as hell. Stop degrading people who don't have perfect eyebrows, acne and glasses.
