The Guardian wertet Kommentare aus: Eight of the 10 most abused writers are women, and the two men are black

„As part of a series on the rising global phenomenon of online harassment, the Guardian commissioned research into the 70m comments left on its site since 2006 and discovered that of the 10 most abused writers eight are women, and the two men are black.“

The dark side of Guardian comments von Becky Gardiner, Mahana Mansfield, Ian Anderson, Josh Holder, Daan Louter und Monica Ulmanu belegt mit vielen Daten traurige Gewissheiten.

„New research into our own comment threads provides the first quantitative evidence for what female journalists have long suspected: that articles written by women attract more abuse and dismissive trolling than those written by men, regardless of what the article is about.“
