is based in India. There are over 100 million English speakers in India. So, I would assume the target is English speaking persons in India as well as people of Indian descent overseas. The video is also being supposed to be translated into Hindi as well.

especially those who have been harassed or raped, rather than something to stop rapists from raping, or to change policy or laws or anything. Or I guess the purpose might be to get people in general to see the absurdity of blaming the victims.

I just hope some uneducated or extremely conservative person doesn't listen to this and then nod and agree and not realize its satire.
