摘要

在线空间为粉丝社区和内容创作者提供了许多表达兴趣的渠道,但它们也倾向于将用户置于敌意、毒性和把关的位置。以Twitch的在线流媒体为例,用户经常因为身份而遇到敌意,并通过社交媒体向其他用户寻求帮助。在这个项目中,我强调了社交媒体被用来组织反对歧视文化的方式。最终,我发现大部分责任都直接落在了streamer自己身上,他们要规避、处理和保护自己的安全,尽管受到骚扰。在本文中,我将指出,这将导致网络和游戏空间中的种族主义和性别歧视敌意的结构和文化,因为它将责任和指责推给了来自边缘背景的个人用户。尽管社区经常支持寻求建议以解决敌意的用户,并试图通过集体在线行动提高意识,但缺乏明显的解决方案使许多人觉得这些经历是不可避免的,不可改变的,并且在个人责任范围内。

Community Grievances, personal responsibility, and DIY protection: Frustrations and solution-seeking among marginalized Twitch streamers
Online spaces offer fan communities and content creators many outlets for expressing their interests, but they also tend to place users in positions where they encounter hostility, toxicity, and gatekeeping. In the case of online streaming on Twitch, users frequently encounter hostility based on identity and seek assistance from fellow users via social media. In this project, I highlight the ways that social media is used to try to organize against discriminatory cultures toward marginalized streamers. Ultimately, I find that much of the onus is placed directly on streamers themselves to circumvent, address, and keep themselves safe despite harassment. In this paper, I will argue that this feeds into the structures and cultures that allow racist and sexist hostilities in online and gaming spaces by placing responsibility – and blame – on individual users from marginalized backgrounds. Although the community is frequently supportive of users who seek advice for addressing hostility and there are attempts at raising awareness through collective online action, the lack of apparent resolution leaves many feeling that these experiences are inevitable, immutable, and within the realm of individual responsibility.
