Creepy videos in trend confuse users TikTok: Uwu y-yashiro nene\/yashirouwu_.bakaA lot of TikTok users are uneasy after coming across \u201ccreepy\u201d videos teasing May 2nd. But what does it mean? If you\u2019ve been on TikTok recently, you\u2019ve probably come across a video talking about May 2. The tag itself has garnered 3.4 million views, and the videos themselves often follow a similar format: they tend to show just the date and pictures from the anime Toilet-bound Hanako-Kun (TBHK) while creepy music plays in the background. https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@uwu_tsukasakawaii_owo\/video\/6956287715260255493?is_copy_url=0&#038;is_from_webapp=v1&#038;sender_device=pc&#038;sender_web_id=6931184181967947270 Specifically, a lot of the viral videos will show a black and white picture of the main character of the show, Hanako. With the videos giving off an unnerving vibe, a lot of users have understandably felt a little creeped out about what the videos might mean. TikTok May 2 trend explained \u201cWhat\u2019s going on, I\u2019m actually panicking,\u201d one TikTok user said. With a lot of the videos including edited pictures of TBHK characters covered in blood, another user admitted that they were \u201cgenuinely scared\u201d about what May 2nd might mean. With 24 April going viral recently for more sinister reasons, it is understandable why TikTok users might be feeling a little on edge \u2013 but the May 2nd trend is nothing to worry about. Essentially, fans of TBHK are trying to make May 2 the day that they \u2018take over\u2019 TikTok with content about the anime \u2013 and given the way the creepy videos have attracted attention, it looks like they\u2019ve definitely succeeded with that goal. https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@just_nothing55\/video\/6957468777898315010?is_copy_url=0&#038;is_from_webapp=v1&#038;sender_device=pc&#038;sender_web_id=6931184181967947270 A lot of the TBHK fandom refer to themselves as TikTok\u2019s latest \u2018cult\u2019, which is a trend where fans of a celebrity or meme will change their profile picture so that other members of the \u2018cult\u2019 can identify them and follow them back. Other popular TikTok cults include the Lana Del Rey cult and the hamster cult. Again, while the name might suggest something sinister is going on, it\u2019s really just an opportunity for fans to connect and share their enthusiasm for a specific topic.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What does May 2nd mean on TikTok?
