Digital Dialogues : An Analysis of the Impact of Affordances on Anti-feminist Communication on the Platforms X, Instagram, and Rumble (English)
Abstract [sv]

Den här studien undersöker vilka affordanser sociala medie plattformarna X, Instagram och Rumble förser och hur affordanserna används av tre olika antifeministiska kreatörer. Vi använde oss av Treem och Leonardis teori om affordanser, där observationsschemat delades in i synlighet, varaktighet, redigerbarhet och anknytning. Resultatet i studien visar att användarna interagerar över flera plattformar och ofta använder länkar för att koppla samman sina konton. Detta ger dem möjlighet att sprida och förstärka antifeministiska perspektiv över olika kanaler. Affordanser används både av användarna och publiken för att uttrycka hat mot kvinnor i exempelvis livechatten i livestreams eller inlägg på X. Detta kan skapa en "vi" mot "dem" mentalitet vilket utnyttjas av antifeminister för att locka publik. Designen i sociala medier plattformarna främjar inte heller kritiskt tänkande bland publiken vilket underlättar för antifeminister att skapa och upprätthålla en lojal publik som inte får möjligheten att ifrågasätta de budskap som antifeministerna förmedlar. 

Abstract [en]

This study examines the affordances provided by the social media platforms X, Instagram, and Rumble and how these affordances are utilized by three different anti-feminist creators. We applied Treem and Leonardi's theory of affordances, where an observation chart was divided into visibility, persistence, editability, and association. The results of the study indicate that users interact across multiple platforms and often use links to connect their accounts. This allows them to disseminate and reinforce anti-feminist perspectives across different channels. Affordances are utilized both by users and the audience to express misogyny, for example, in a live chat during livestreams or posts on X. This can create an 'us' versus 'them' mentality, which is exploited by anti-feminists to attract an audience. The design of social media platforms also does not promote critical thinking among the audience, facilitating anti-feminists in creating and maintaining a loyal audience that is not given the opportunity to question the messages conveyed by the anti-feminists.
