The "Rage Bait" Relationship Questions Going Viral on TikTok
"Perhaps you remember a viral question that couples have been asking each other the past couple years: Would you still love me if I was a worm? It's a nonsensical, yet harmless, question. Of course, you, a human being, would not opt to date a worm. But if your partner magically turned into one and they asked you to stick around, maybe you'd consider it."
"It's often one that makes the man do a double-take, questioning whether they gave their best answer or if they've been tricked into a setup. I haven't seen any videos sway overwhelmingly into the territory of very messed-up responses, and I have seen some creative spins on the answers in a positive, complimentary way, like "I'd kiss you a million times" or "I love you and you're pretty." Gag, but it's all good and innocent stuff."
Viral couple-question trends often involve playful hypothetical prompts that test partner loyalty and provoke reactions, such as the worm question. Numerous short-form trends ask couples to answer quirky relationship tests like the bird test, the strawberry test, or asking men questions women might know better. A recent set of four provocative questions asks about kissing for money, reasons for love, attraction to an identical sister, and choosing cheating versus never meeting. Many videos include follow-up prompts that create double-takes; responses vary from creative and complimentary to potentially inflammatory. The format can function as 'rage bait' to drive engagement, which can be harmful in serious contexts.
