It can be said that new media applications have many positive
features, but also cause some social problems. In addition to positive features
such as the democratization of communication, ease of access to information,
increased interaction of active users, some problems such as privacy, security,
sharing of personal data and social media addiction have been encountered.
Another of these problems is the sharing of racist, sexist and violent hate
speech circulated by new media applications in an online and public
environment. One of the platforms in which such discourses emerge is
Ekşisözlük. In this study, the topics and comments that have been opened in
International Women's Day on March 8, 2016 in Ekşisözlük are examined with
content analysis method and the research findings are interpreted.
