According to The Straits Times, social media has increased the popularity of gender reveals, which have become more and more extreme over the years. Professor Carly Gieseler, who spoke to The Straits Times, explained that gender reveals used to be "intimate" gatherings among a few people. Compare that to gender reveals today — which professor Gieseler describes as a "much larger spectacle, a much more grand affair" — and there's a clear trend that these celebrations have grown to become huge gatherings.
What's more, sometimes these large gender reveal parties can have dire consequences. According to CNN, a pyrotechnic device at a gender reveal party in California sparked a blaze that has burned more than 10,000 acres as of September 8.
