This study is a comprehensive exploration of the collective discursive practices surrounding gender-related sexual offenses, with a specific focus on the use of slogans as a powerful expression of support and outrage. The research zeroes in on the discursive practices that emerged in response to the group rape incident that occurred during the San Fermín festival in Pamplona, Spain, in July 2016. Due to its severity, this case attracted widespread attention across Europe. It sparked numerous public demonstrations of outrage and support for the victim by both women and men in various cities. These demonstrations played a crucial role in fostering a shared, popular feminist identity and a unified narrative of protest against rape culture and the judicial decision to charge the perpetrators with sexual abuse rather than rape. The analysis delves into the nature of these support and outrage slogans, stressing their pivotal role in shaping collective identity and influencing public discourse
