Brazilian feminist responses to hate speech: online violence through an intersectional lens
Networked responses to acts of anti-feminist and anti-LGBTI+ discursive violence on Brazilian social media platforms reveal the articulation between definitions of gender-based violence and contemporary formulations of the category “political violence.” In this context, racialized and embodied feminist and LGBTI+ communities employ the construct of intersectionality as a key to understanding what is called “gender-based political violence.”
