As disturbing as the story is, I find it quite intriguing. Obviously meme makers often have some crude humor, but somehow I assume that most of the visitors who wrote inappropriate comments were male. So I wonder if you could tell a similar story from some other website with a primary female user base. I supposed it would be very different.
The other thing is, it seems that the 'sexier' (from a hetero male perspective) the contact picture was, the more rude comments arrived. An interesting hypothesis is, if the picture activated some sort of 'sexual brain area' which lead to the creation of the rude comments. Does anybody know of any scientific research related to that topic (sexual activation leading to rude behavior)?
- closed 9y agoI don't know a lot about the topic, but remember this article called "The effect of sexual arousal on sexual decision making", by Dan Ariely http://www.contrib.andrew.cmu.edu/~gl20/GeorgeLoewenstein/Papers_files/pdf/HeatMoment.pdf http://www.contrib.andrew.cmu.edu/~gl20/GeorgeLoewenstein/Pa...

It is not, I have worked on an app with many female users and they are just as mean and snarky as anyone. "Fire the developers", "piece of shit xxx" etc was common.
