反女权主义社区是极右派的门户吗？来自Reddit和YouTube的证据
Are Anti-Feminist Communities Gateways to the Far Right? Evidence from Reddit and YouTube
摘要：
研究人员认为，“Manosphere”，一个以男性为中心的在线社区的企业集团，可能成为极右运动的门户。在此背景下，本文定量研究了Manosphere和Alt-right（一个松散联系的极右翼运动，在主流社交网络中特别活跃）内各种群体之间的迁移模式。我们的分析利用了通过Reddit（115个子Reddit）和YouTube（526个频道）传播的3亿多条评论，以调查与这些社区相关的频道和子Reddit的受众是否在2006年至2018年之间融合。除了与感兴趣的社区相关的子Reddit之外，我们还收集有关同行的数据：我们用于比较的其他用户组（例如，对于YouTube，我们使用一组媒体频道）。除了测量这些社区的评论用户群的相似性外，我们还进行了一项迁移研究，计算Manosphere中的用户逐渐参与Alt-right内容的程度。我们的研究结果表明，Alt-right和Manosphere的用户群之间存在很大的重叠，Manosphere的成员比精心选择的同行有更大的机会参与极右内容。然而，我们的分析还表明，迁移和用户群重叠在不同的平台和Manosphere中存在很大差异。一些社区的成员（例如，男性权利活动家）逐渐与Reddit和YouTube上的Alt-right进行接触，而对于其他社区，这种接触主要发生在Reddit上（例如，Pick Up Artists）。总的来说，我们的工作描绘了Manosphere和Alt-right之间管道的细微差别，这可能会为平台的政策和关于这些社区的适度决定提供信息。
英文摘要：
Researchers have suggested that "the Manosphere," a conglomerate of men-centered online communities, may serve as a gateway to far right movements. In that context, this paper quantitatively studies the migratory patterns between a variety of groups within the Manosphere and the Alt-right, a loosely connected far right movement that has been particularly active in mainstream social networks. Our analysis leverages over 300 million comments spread through Reddit (in 115 subreddits) and YouTube (in 526 channels) to investigate whether the audiences of channels and subreddits associated with these communities have converged between 2006 and 2018. In addition to subreddits related to the communities of interest, we also collect data on counterparts: other groups of users which we use for comparison (e.g., for YouTube we use a set of media channels). Besides measuring the similarity in the commenting user bases of these communities, we perform a migration study, calculating to which extent users in the Manosphere gradually engage with Alt-right content. Our results suggest that there is a large overlap between the user bases of the Alt-right and of the Manosphere and that members of the Manosphere have a bigger chance to engage with far right content than carefully chosen counterparts. However, our analysis also shows that migration and user base overlap varies substantially across different platforms and within the Manosphere. Members of some communities (e.g., Men's Rights Activists) gradually engage with the Alt-right significantly more than counterparts on both Reddit and YouTube, whereas for other communities, this engagement happens mostly on Reddit (e.g., Pick Up Artists). Overall, our work paints a nuanced picture of the pipeline between the Manosphere and the Alt-right, which may inform platforms' policies and moderation decisions regarding these communities.
