Recently, I often see people on social media spreading a trend named Don't Judge Challenge or as known as #dontjudgechallenge. I bet all of you at least ever see the video once. At first I know the trend when I was scrolling my Instagram feeds and cringed. People with silly faces and strange drawing, becoming prettier in next seconds (with makeup on). My first thought was: "WTH what is this?"

I didn't really understand the meaning of this challenge, but the more I see the #dontjudgechallenge videos.. It seemed so fun.. From messy face to great face, from unappealing to attractive appearance.
BUT, after I knew the cause, I become discourage and took my decision to follow this trend.

Nah, how about you guys? Have you understand the meaning behind #dontjudgechallenge yet?

It's totally a mistake if you assume this challenge is something about transformation, from zero to hero, or from kiddy to grown-up.

Sebulan terakhir, aku lumayan sering melihat orang-orang di sosial media melakukan yang namanya Don't Judge Challenge atau aksi upload video dengan hashtag #dontjudgechallenge. Aku berani taruhan kalian pasti pernah lihat di sosial media manapun (paling ngga lihat sekilas). Pertama aku tau tentang hashtag tersebut pas lagi asik scroll-scroll Instagram. Aku langsung mengernyitkan dahi karena lihat video muka dicoret-coret tidak lazim, meskipun setelah kameranya ditutupin langsung berubah jadi cantik. Yang langsung muncul di pikiran: "Ih apaan sih. Kurang kerjaan banget."

Pada awalnya sih aku ngga terlalu paham, tapi semakin aku lihat video-video #dontjudgechallenge.. Kok kayaknya seru gitu ya, dari yang jelek; makeup acak-acakan kayak badut terus beberapa detik kemudian langsung jadi cakep. Aku sempat tergoda juga pengen ikutan, tapi setelah tau maksud di balik semua itu, aku jadi mengurungkan niatku.

Nah kalian sendiri bagaimana? Apa sudah paham #dontjudgechallenge itu apa?

Suatu hal yang konyol kalau challenge itu diartikan sebagai masa perubahan / transisi / transformasi dari jelek ke cakep, atau dari kecil ke besar. Sebelum kita buru-buru ikutan, ada baiknya kalian mengetahui terlebih dahulu asal muasal challenge itu berasal.
