Why are people on TikTok playing ‘smash or pass’ with Disney characters?

It was only a matter of time before the "which ____ character are you" Instagram filter moved to TikTok but users aren't utilizing the filters the same way.

Rather than use the "Which Disney character are you?" effect to figure out which Disney character suits them best, users will play 'smash or pass' with it.

When the trend first emerged, people questioned if it was appropriate to play the innuendo game. But if TikTok is known for one thing it's dark humor so it seems everyone got over that fairly quickly and incorporated it into the joke.

TikTok user @atribecalleddes started her 'smash or pass' video by saying, "the fact that y'all are really out here doing smash or pass with Disney characters, what is wrong with y'all... Anyway, let's see who I get."

This was a rollercoaster of emotions for me tbh

Des's video has over 7 million views and one million likes. Users are getting a kick out of the trend with some general consensus on the attractive Disney characters such as Lightning McQueen from Cars, Princess Jasmine from Aladdin, Prince Eric from The Little Mermaid, and more.

Some may find the trend crude but there are boundaries. People have an unwritten rule to 'pass' characters who are obviously underage like JackJack from The Incredibles or Nemo from Finding Nemo.
