Block Out 2024, Met Gala, and Devastating Gaza Situation

Popular hashtags like #letthemeatcake, #celebrityblocklist, and #blockout were born out of the collaborative effort of TikTok artists, as users publicly chastise prominent personalities for being silent about the growing humanitarian catastrophe.
While many celebrities at the 2024 Oscars expressed their political views by wearing red pins in support of Artists4Ceasefire, which opposes Israel’s attacks on Gaza, the Met Gala took a different tack.
She limited its discussions to the lavish display of wealth.
