MASCULINITY, INTOLERANCE AND HATE: A STUDY ON DISCOURSE IN BRAZILIAN IMAGEBOARDS

KEY WORDS:

Hate Speech; Chans; image boards; Text Mining; Natural Language Processing

PAGES: 114
BIG AREA: Outra
AREA: Multidisciplinar
SUMMARY:

The popularization of internet access has allowed people to create communities around common interests. Not only socially well-accepted and harmless topics found on the network a platform to be discussed and shared, but also worldviews based on hate and conspiracy theories had the opportunity to proliferate in these spaces. In environments where users enjoy extensive anonymity and where control over what can and cannot be said is almost non-existent, hate speech is free to flourish without restriction. A type of platform that is known, among other things, precisely for providing such dynamics are imageboards, a type of online forum, heavily based on sharing images and messages and on the anonymity of its users. In Brazil, attacks carried out by frequenters of such environments alert us to the need to understand such communities.

This study aims to use different computational methods in order to extract, unravel and select information about Brazilian imageboards and deepen the understanding of such spaces, in addition to the peculiarities of this subculture. The study demonstrates how hatred against social minorities is the basis of the thinking of the members of these spaces, as well as the conspiratorial mentality behind different social phenomena.
