“…Entre los motivos más frecuentes por los que los jóvenes reciben comentarios de odio en Internet están los originados por causas sociales o políticas, seguidos por opiniones sobre el feminismo y por la estética y aspecto personal. El discurso del odio Rocío Ortiz Amo, Cristina Cuenca-Piqueras y María José González-Moreno se ha convertido en un problema en el ámbito social y de la política, favorecido especialmente por las redes sociales, donde se genera polarización y conflicto social (Kim et al, 2022;Ojeda-Copa et al, 2021). Las publicaciones de odio en torno al concepto «feminismo» son muy frecuentes en las redes sociales y se construyen alrededor de estereotipos o ideas preformadas y cuentan con un alto contenido de violencia verbal (Gonçalves y Willem, 2021).…”

Los comportamientos relacionados con el discurso del odio en Internet entre adolescentes y jóvenes están causando preocupación en la comunidad internacional. Este trabajo recoge los resultados de una encuesta a 600 jóvenes sobre la experiencia de ser víctima de comentarios desagradables en redes sociales. Los resultados se analizan descriptivamente por sexo y grupos de edad, según el motivo de haber recibido estos comentarios ofensivos o de odio. Los motivos más frecuentes fueron opiniones sociopolíticas, seguidas de las opiniones sobre el feminismo. Se encontraron diferencias asociadas, por un lado, al género solo para las opiniones sobre el feminismo y, por otro, a la edad, la nacionalidad o el origen y las opiniones sobre el feminismo. Las principales causas de ser víctima de comentarios ofensivos o de odio están relacionadas con las opiniones sobre el feminismo y el género, más entre las mujeres que entre los hombres, y más entre los adolescentes.

“…This can be the case in the online sphere as well. People are more pleased with agreeing comments compared to disagreeing comments, and they also prefer discussion with likeminded others to discussion with people who have different perspectives (Chen and Ng, 2017; Kim et al. , 2022b; Valenzuela et al ., 2012).…”

“…For instance, uncivil online discussion induces negative emotions and reduces satisfaction with discussion with others, and it also negatively affects the perceived credibility of the discussants (Gervais, 2015; Ng and Detenber, 2005). Hate speech, which refers to intimidating and/or prejudicial expressions toward a person or a group of people, is spreading widely in online social media (Cohen-Almagor, 2013), and it makes people disconnect from others and reduce their discussion with diverse others (Kim et al. , 2022b).…”

PurposeThis study examined how likeminded Facebook comments with incivility and without supporting evidence influence readers' evaluations of the commenter and online political participation intention. This study also investigated whether the indirect effect of exposure to uncivil comments and comments without evidence on online political participation through evaluations of the commenters is contingent on the strength of partisanship.Design/methodology/approachThe study used a 2 (uncivil comments vs civil comments) × 2 (comments without supporting evidence vs comments with supporting evidence) factorial design with a scenario about reading similar viewpoints about the gun control issue in Facebook comments.FindingsThe results showed that compared to exposure to civil agreeing comments, exposure to uncivil likeminded comments resulted in higher levels of negative evaluations of the commenters, which in turn decreased willingness to participate in political activities online. Exposure to comments without evidence led to more negative evaluations of the commenters, but it did not significantly influence online political participation. In addition, the strength of partisanship did not significantly moderate the indirect effect of exposure to uncivil comments and comments without evidence on online political participation through evaluations of the commenters.Originality/valueAlthough previous studies have demonstrated the significant effects of incivility and reasoned argument, little is known about whether and how people evaluate ingroup members' comments that are uncivil and lacking reasoned arguments. Most of these studies have examined incivility in political contexts, but few have extended the context to the effect of likeminded comments, especially when the comments are uncivil and lack supporting evidence. The current study aims to fill this gap in the literature.
