Video of woman criticising men triggers wave of violent comments in an online community
A recording in which a woman gives her opinion on men's physical appearance and behaviour has provoked a disproportionate response on an anonymous discussion platform. Rather than debating her arguments, the comments focus on personal attacks, veiled threats and unfounded accusations. The phenomenon illustrates how certain online spaces become breeding grounds for radical misogyny.
The user, who also points out that her friends are "gorgeous", is labelled a "feminista radical psychopath" and "bitter". Some participants accuse her of hating men and wishing for their death, going as far as claiming that "it is inevitable for them to want to kill us". These claims, with no evidence to back them up, reflect a current of thought that identifies women as systematic enemies. The discussion spirals into resentment that recalls the most extreme incel rhetoric.
There are no concrete figures in the debate, but the virulence of the responses points to growing gender radicalisation in certain male groups. The mention of political figures such as Irene Montero, used as an insult, reinforces ideological tribalism. The case is yet another symptom of the polarisation that prevents any rational exchange between critical positions.
