As a kink artist, I really appreciated this paper. There's a lot of types out there on twitter (I no longer have a feed on there) that don't care for art and send vile death threats and worse on a regular basis to those who draw taboo art - that is still art.
So this is particularly relevant. I would encourage people to give this paper a chance.
The paragraph that sold it for me: "Thus, self-censorship is another way in which networked harassment functions as a norm reinforcement technique. The networked audience engaged in harassment successfully reinforces its moral norm by discouraging the target from violating it in public. And, because networked harassment is more likely to happen to women, trans and non-binary people, sexual minorities, and people of color, networked harassment causes minoritized voices to be systematically eliminated from the public sphere. Networked harassment also reinforces symbolic boundaries between groups by creating moral distinctions between us and them. As discussed, polarization and partisanship involve both in-group solidarity and out-group animus."
