本文探讨了互联网上性别化的尖酸刻薄的信号特征--一种以性暴力的图形威胁、明确的人身攻击和毫无歉意的厌女症为标志的话语类型。这种“电子胆汁”正在网络领域扩散，目前是国际媒体广泛报道的主题。然而，它在学术界却很少受到关注。这可能与这样一个事实有关，即这种类型的话语在隐喻上是“不可言说的”，因为它的双曲亵渎使它远远超出了被视为“民间”话语的规范。然而，我的情况是，尽管有冒犯的风险，但这种话语不仅必须被谈论，而且必须被完整地谈论。我认为，没有其他方法可以充分分析这种传播模式的本质，这种传播模式的厌女症敌意具有严重的道德和物质影响，尤其是因为它已成为网络领域许多领域的通用弗兰卡语言。通过未删减的明示进行，也是开始绘制电子胆汁话语领域的模糊参数的最佳--可以说是唯一--方法，并从那里进一步探究对假定的在线敌意的伦理评估，以及考虑可能的补救措施。
This article explores the signal characteristics of gendered vitriol on the Internet – a type of discourse marked by graphic threats of sexual violence, explicit ad hominem invective and unapologetic misogyny. Such ‘e-bile’ is proliferating in the cybersphere and is currently the subject of widespread international media coverage. Yet it receives little attention in scholarship. This is likely related to the fact that discourse of this type is metaphorically ‘unspeakable’, in that its hyperbolic profanity locates it well outside the norms of what is regarded as ‘civil’ discourse. My case, however, is that – despite the risk of causing offence – this discourse must not only be spoken of, but must be spoken of in its unexpurgated entirety. There is, I argue, no other way to adequately assay the nature of a communication mode whose misogynistic hostility has serious ethical and material implications, not least because it has become a lingua franca in many sectors of the cybersphere. Proceeding via unexpurgated ostension is also the best – arguably the only – way to begin mapping the blurry parameters of the discursive field of e-bile, and from there to conduct further inquiry into the ethical appraisal of putative online hostility, and the consideration of possible remedies.
