Nờ Ô Nô is likely a name familiar to social media users in Vietnam. At that time, this TikToker created a video clip that mocked the poor and immediately sparked a fierce backlash, even leading to a boycott from users and advertisers alike. Nờ Ô Nô’s account was permanently deleted, and even attempts to create a new account at that time were unsuccessful.
“We have permanently banned the account of user @tuanbrice (also known as ‘Nờ Ô Nô’) due to content that does not meet our community standards,” a TikTok representative in Vietnam stated.
However, now, Nờ Ô Nô is making a strong comeback with an account that has gained hundreds of thousands of followers. Scrolling through TikTok, many users are still encountering clips from this TikToker appearing in their recommendations. Is TikTok turning a blind eye to the return of this TikToker?
TikTok is showing that the platform is too lenient with ‘inappropriate’ content and creators. Still maintaining his sharp style in his clips, the content of Nờ Ô Nô’s “new version” is still making users uncomfortable, yet the new clips continue to appear on TikTok and gain many followers.
Although previously, Nờ Ô Nô was boycotted by the online community, now, with what seems like ‘view boosting’ support from TikTok, this character is still thriving, and if this growth continues, Nờ Ô Nô will “soon return, even more formidable than before.”
