Deep dives
The Rise of Online Misogyny
Online misogyny is a pervasive issue, deeply rooted within internet culture. Early communities like 4chan and Reddit helped foster a misogynistic environment, creating fertile ground for anti-feminist sentiments. High-profile figures, such as Sargon of Akkad, capitalized on this atmosphere by generating content that smeared women, particularly around the Me Too movement and subsequent events like Gamergate. This shift not only amplified hatred towards women but also established patterns of harassment that continue to affect women's public narratives today.
