DISCURSO DE ÓDIO CONTRA A MULHER NAS PLATAFORMAS DIGITAIS: A BANALIZAÇÃO DA MISOGINIA E OS GRUPOS DE INCITAÇÃO COMO INCELS E RED PILLS NO ORDENAMENTO JURÍDICO BRASILEIRO

Abstract

The present study aimed to examine hate speech directed at women on digital platforms, with an emphasis on the trivialization of misogyny and the actions of incitement groups, such as the incel and red pill movements, in the context of the Brazilian legal system. The study addressed how these misogynistic groups are characterized, their strategies for spreading hate, and the social, psychological, and legal impacts resulting from these practices. To this end, a qualitative approach was used, based on a literature review of doctrines, Brazilian legislation, court decisions, and academic studies on hate speech, gender violence, and digital law. The results suggest that, despite the gradual increase in regulation and civil and criminal liability provided for in the legal system, there are still legal gaps and difficulties in the effective application of the rules, especially with regard to the rapid evolution of digital platforms. Given this scenario, the research concluded that legislative improvements combined with coordinated action by the competent authorities, in addition to the promotion of educational policies, are essential to mitigate the effects of hate speech against women and ensure the protection of their fundamental rights in the online environment.
