HuffPost
Nondisabled social media users think it’s a cruel joke, but the event’s athletes think otherwise.
It seems people are confused by the decidedly silly tone of the Paralympics’ official TikTok page.
The verified account has been active for years, and has been viewed by some as controversial.
One video from last year uses audio from the electronic toy Bop It! during a montage of blind swimmers getting tapped on the head with foam-tipped poles, which the account explains is how they are notified they’re getting close to the wall.
Another video from 2023 shows Australian cyclist Darren Hicks, who had his right leg amputated after a crash, winning a time trial gold medal at Tokyo 2020. The audio used for this video is a popular TikTok song that’s been modified so the only audible word is “left.”
The TikTok of Hicks was shared by Barstool Sports last April on X, formerly Twitter, with a caption many people with mental health conditions would find offensive: “Paralympics TikTok admin is CRAZY.”
