April 24th "National Rape Day" TikTok Trend refers to numerous videos posted to TikTok in April 2021 warning people about a rumored "national rape day" to be celebrated on the 24th of the month. The rumor, started by trolls, quickly spread outside of TikTok, leading many news outlets and users to post warnings about it leading up to the date.

Jokes and posts about a "national rape day" date back to at least 2010 on Twitter,[1][2] although none mention April 24th specifically or purport the day to be a real, practiced thing, more so using the phrase for comedic shock value. Jokes about the day can also be found on 4chan[3] starting in 2015.

On April 11th, 2019, Urban Dictionary user KossanTone published[14] a now-deleted definition for "National Rape Day," defining it as, "April 24th! The day when it's legal to rape people! So go ahead have sex with everyone, even your friends🌵." On March 20th, 2021, TikToker[6] @glambyizzy posted a skit sharing the definition and expressing disbelief about it, garnering over 789,000 views in a month (shown below). This is the earliest known video warning users about the date.

Prior to KossanTone's definition, two earlier entries for "National Rape Day" were made on Urban Dictionary[14] in May 2018.

On March 21st, 2021, Redditor[4] u/bowlerboy2 posted a screenshot of the definition to /r/AreTheStraightsOK, garnering over 720 upvotes in just under a month (shown below). On March 22nd, 9GAG[5] user WTF posted a similar screenshot titled "Guys when will this happen," garnering 30 points in a comparable span of time.

Allegedly, a group of six men started spreading news of the day on TikTok sometime in March,[7] however, none of these videos have surfaced and no accounts have been found actively supporting national rape day on the platform.

Spread
In April 2021, numerous TikTokers[8][9] started uploading videos warning users about April 24 and encouraging them to stay home, as well as threatening anyone who jokes about the day or plans on participating in it (examples shown below, left and right). Many note that the day is likely a troll, but warn users anyway to be on the safe side
