Concern has surged on the internet over a man seemingly held captive by his girlfriend, as depicted in a viral video where she’s seen ordering Chinese food for him and coaxing him to express gratitude towards her.

Upon viewing the video, my initial impression leaned towards it possibly being a scripted skit. To verify, I sought out the original TikTok video posted by an account named Aloralynnnsavasta3.

The account boasts a considerable following, likely amplified by the recent viral video. However, upon inspecting her older posts, devoid of any skits, it became evident that the account and the video in question were genuine. The majority of comments under her posts now plead for her to release her boyfriend from what appears to be captivity.

Despite the outcry, delving further into the account raises doubts about whether the boyfriend truly requires rescuing. It seems he genuinely enjoys food and has found a way to have it readily available courtesy of his girlfriend, who merely requests expressions of gratitude in return.

Perhaps he revels in a relationship where his partner consistently prepares food for him, occasionally ordering Chinese cuisine (despite its questionable appearance). While many advocate for his liberation, it’s plausible that he’s content with his situation. To him, life may be all sorted out amidst our calls for his release. To the man in question, if you’re reading this, blink twice in your next video if assistance is needed. Otherwise, bon appétit.
