在本文中，我们使用混合方法来研究一个有争议的互联网网站：Kotaku in Action（KiA）subreddit。KiA的成员是GamerGate的一部分，GamerGate是一个分布式的社会运动。我们提出了一个主位帐户上发生的事情：他们是谁，他们的目标和信仰是什么，他们遵循什么规则。GamerGate的成员，特别是KiA，经常被指控骚扰。然而，KiA网站的政策明确禁止这种行为，成员们坚持认为他们受到了错误的指控。在KiA是否支持骚扰的争议之下，是一个关于什么是“骚扰”以及在表达自由和审查之间划清界限的复杂分歧。我们提出了一个模型，其特点是有争议的言论的看法，分为四类：批评，侮辱，公开羞辱，骚扰。我们还讨论了设计解决方案，以解决在不影响言论自由的情况下缓和骚扰的挑战，并在不同的意识形态之间进行沟通。
In this paper, we use mixed methods to study a controversial Internet site: The Kotaku in Action (KiA) subreddit. Members of KiA are part of GamerGate, a distributed social movement. We present an emic account of what takes place on KiA: who are they, what are their goals and beliefs, and what rules do they follow. Members of GamerGate in general and KiA in particular have often been accused of harassment. However, KiA site policies explicitly prohibit such behavior, and members insist that they have been falsely accused. Underlying the controversy over whether KiA supports harassment is a complex disagreement about what “harassment” is, and where to draw the line between freedom of expression and censorship. We propose a model that characterizes perceptions of controversial speech, dividing it into four categories: criticism, insult, public shaming, and harassment. We also discuss design solutions that address the challenges of moderating harassment without impinging on free speech, and communicating across different ideologies.
