Abstract
Online misogynistic harassment has created both a degrading and violent space for many people who have social media profiles. Even though social media platforms have started to update their rules regarding content and engagement expectations, harmful ideologies such as misogyny continue to flourish in posts, threads, and comment sections. Therefore, it is both important to know how to recognize when ideologies such as misogyny are causing harm online while also being able to understand certain ways that people could respond to online misogynistic harassment. This project will look at how misogyny takes places particularly within the online gaming community and how media critic Anita Sarkeesian adopts a “rhetoric of difference” (Flores, 1996) to combat the misogynistic harassment she encounters.
