@craighaslop.bsky.social’s paper outlined the value of an ecosystems approach to misogyny influencers and the “ideological collabs” in which they engage. He argued for a focus on collaborated content as well as the promotional, financial, and interpersonal connections that characterise this space.

We’re living through a fundamental shift in how discourse is created. Institutions once shaped a shared reality through discourse - imperfectly, but with structure. Now, that reality has splintered. In its place, engagement-driven ecosystems amplify whatever resonates, truth optional.

Yes, this simply doesn’t make sense, but is just legitimising and encouraging transphobia—there is no other way of seeing it. Trans people are a small minority and already heavily discriminated against—easy to pick on in a culture war designed to create hate and division.
NEW: Platformer has obtained the dehumanizing new guidelines moderating what people can now say about trans people on Facebook and Instagram. Employees tell me these changes are likely to inspire more violence against LGBT people: www.platformer.news/meta-new-tra...

It’s important to consider the consequences of online abuse on political representation in light of the changes in meta’s moderation approach allowing more abuse and harassment to stay online.

I love this. It’s a great example of theory being really put to work, and it raises so many questions about research ethics in a real (rather than tickbox) way. Lots of relevance beyond its specific topic of boys/ masculinity for all kinds of research.
