Other videos contained threats against anyone who committed acts of sexual assault on this day. These response videos consisted of safety warnings, telling women to not leave the house on April 24th or to only travel in groups. Thousands of videos were made in response to the original TikTok. Some sources say talks of this day actually started on 4chan and then became a TikTok trend, but there seems to be no widely agreed-upon consensus on who exactly is responsible for starting this disgusting concept. The original video was allegedly made by a group of men, encouraging others to commit acts of sexual assault on this day, saying it was legal to do so. National Rape Day started from a TikTok that was made in April of 2021, during Sexual Assault Awareness Month, that declared April 24th as “National Rape Day”. But where did this “day” come from? Who started it and why? The phrase “national rape day” has over 72,000 monthly searches on Google and over 30 million views on TikTok for related hashtags.
