O “K” da questão: um estudo sobre o discurso de ódio contra os K-poppers em comentários no Twitter e sua repercussão no direito brasileiro

Abstract

When observing the comments about K-pop and its fans in Brazilian media on Twitter, there is a vast hate speech promoted by Brazilians towards fans of the Korean musical

genre. Taking this as a premise, we intend to analyze how the hate speech against K- pop fans, the so-called K-Poppers, on the social network Twitter, has repercussions in

Brazilian law. The identification that there is a hate speech directed at K-poppers on Twitter puts at risk fundamental rights and guarantees that, in view of being a personality right reached, must be supported by Brazilian Law. Thus, it is worth analyzing the analysis of how the hate speech against K-poppers on the social network of Twitter, has reverberated in the Brazilian Legislation from the limitation of freedom of expression and the existence of hate speech. The methodology used is hypothetical deductive, and using the procedure of bibliographic research at the first moment, carrying out a questionnaire directed to K-poppers about hate speech. Thus, the first part of the work deals with the problem of hate speech and freedom of expression both abroad and on the internet, the second part on the history of K-pop and the experience of K-poppers on the social network Twitter; and finally, the relationship between hate speech against K-poppers and Brazilian law, based on the questionnaire. In this sense, it is worth saying that there is a certain limitation of freedom of expression when it comes to hate speech, and that when it occurs, there are punishments of both a criminal and civil nature for those who practice it. The hate speech against K-poppers brings a new perspective on how people seek new ways to oppress minorities in order to make them unfeasible to society.
