网络攻击是一个严重的、经常发生的社会问题。在这篇文章中,作者考虑了社交媒体平台Twitter上的贬损,有害的信息,这些信息针对三个女性群体之一,亚洲人,黑人和拉丁裔。这项研究的重点是包括最常见的女性辱骂语之一“B!切。本章的研究结果表明,针对有色人种女性的攻击性信息可能是恶毒的,也很容易获得(不到30秒)。使用交叉的方法,作者注意到有色人种女性在网上受到骚扰的独特经历。调查结果强调了有害的刻板印象被强化的方式,包括“色情和顺从的亚洲妇女”,“愤怒的黑人妇女”和“可怜的拉丁妇女”。在某些例外情况下,女性使用“B!tch”以一种积极和赋权的方式,很可能是为了“收回”一个用来攻击女性的常用词。应用社交网络的角度来看,我们说明了通常敌对的推文发展成互动的网络对话,原始消息传播超出受害者的趋势,并在公众个人的情况下,相当广泛。这项研究有助于更深入地了解导致在线骚扰的过程,包括强化典型规范和社会主导地位。最后,作者发现,使用“B!侮辱亚裔、黑人和拉丁裔妇女的”tch“特别具有破坏性,因为它们强化了对妇女和少数民族的传统定型观念,这些信息能够传播到更广泛的受众。
Online aggression represents a serious, and regularly occurring, social problem. In this piece the authors consider derogatory, harmful messages on the social media platform, Twitter, that target one of three groups of women, Asians, Blacks, and Latinx. The research focuses on messages that include one of the most common female slurs, "b!tch." The findings of this chapter reveal that aggressive messages oriented toward women of color can be vicious and easily accessible (located in fewer than 30 seconds). Using an intersectional approach, the authors note the distinctive experiences of online harassment for women of color. The findings highlight the manner in which detrimental stereotypes are reinforced, including that of the "eroticized and obedient Asian woman," the "angry Black woman," and the "poor Latinx woman." In some exceptions, women use the term "b!tch" in a positive and empowering manner, likely in an attempt to "reclaim" one of the common words used to attack females. Applying a social network perspective, we illustrate the tendency of typically hostile tweets to develop into interactive network conversations, where the original message spreads beyond the victim, and in the case of public individuals, quite widely. This research contributes to a deeper understanding of the processes that lead to online harassment, including the fortification of typical norms and social dominance. Finally, the authors find that messages that use the word "b!tch" to insult Asian, Black, and Latinx women are particularly damaging in that they reinforce traditional stereotypes of women and ethnoracial minorities, and these messages possess the ability to extend to wider audiences.
