Twitter is one place you will find an abundance of funny content. There are several trends that keep surfacing on the micro-blogging platform every now and then. Recently, when Facebook, WhatsApp, and Instagram faced a 6-hour outage, it had rained memes on Twitter. Before that, the Met Gala 2021 also saw some interesting and bizarre looks by celebrities which gave birth to some hilarious and funny content by Twitterati and food brands too. And now, the 'Red Flag' trend is the latest one that has caught the attention of Twitter users. Wondering what it is? Here's all you need to know.
The Red Flag Twitter trend started in the US when users began talking about problematic statements or situations in personal relationships. For instance, if a person said they were still friends with their ex. The trend soon experienced a spurt and people began to use the Red Flag trend to talk about all sorts of no-nos in people including likes, dislikes, and personal preferences which don't resonate well. Typically, the trend involves a one-line statement with a couple of red flags following it.
