Overview
Perez Hilton vs. TikTok Community refers to a feud between long-time Gossip reporter Perez Hilton and TikTokers due to Hilton's comments on TikTok posts, most notably Charli D'Amelio's posts, and video content which many TikTokers deem inappropriate due to his age. The feud led to a Change.org petition calling for TikTok to permanently ban Perez Hilton in April 2020.
Background
On December 21st, 2019, Perez Hilton began uploading videos about Charli D'Amelio. His first video on the subject discussed her relationship with Lil Huddy (shown below, left). The video received over 10,200 likes in four months. On December 28th, Perez Hilton uploaded a video saying that he was "over" Hype House content (shown below, right). The video gained over 500 likes in four months. His disfavor within the TikTok community grew, however, when he commented on a video of Charli D'Amelio dancing in a swimsuit on March 3rd, 2020 and said it was inappropriate.[1]

Developments
On March 4th, 2020, Charli D'Amelio[2] tweeted, "i will continue to post when i feel happy and confident so if me wearing a swimsuit at the beach is a problem well sucks to suck doesn’t it" (shown below, left). The tweet garnered over 83,000 likes and 3,000 retweets in a month. The next day, Twitter user @playbcybabe[3] posted a screenshot of Hilton's comments with the caption, "perez hilton literally shamed @charlidamelio (15) for wearing a bathing suit. charli was literally at the beach. his excuse for this behavior was that he’s gay. but no matter who you are, attempting to diss a minor for what they’re wearing is not right" (shown below, right).
