running the gauntlet
The Run the Gauntlet Challenge, also known as the Gauntlet Challenge, is a shock website where users are challenged to “run the gauntlet” by watching 20 increasingly NSFW videos, including pornographic, gory, and torture films like 1 Guy 1 Jar and 3 Guys 1 Hammer. The runthegauntlet.org website hosts the challenge, which was initially developed in 2010 but released in late 2014. It gained notoriety on TikTok in early 2022, when it experienced a rebirth online.
