Cyber Misogyny sebagai Wacana Pemberitaan Selebritas Perempuan

Studi pada Portal Berita Suara.com

Abstract

This study critically examines the emergence of cyber misogyny discourse in Suara.com’s coverage of female celebrities and how these news texts position women. The research centers on the 2023 Rebecca Klopper case and the 2025 Erika Carlina case, which illustrate online media's tendency to emphasize women's bodies, sexuality, and private lives. The study used a qualitative method, drawing on Sara Mills' critical discourse analysis approach, specifically examining subject-object and writer-reader positions, and drawing on theories of cyber misogyny and representation. Four Suara.com news articles concerning these two cases. The findings identify six interconnected forms of cyber misogyny: sexual objectification, non-consensual dissemination of intimate images (NCII), trolling, public shaming, victim blaming, and moral policing. These forms create a pattern that consistently positions women as objects of narrative and judgment. Through headline selection, lexical choices, and quoted netizen comments, readers are directed toward a gender-biased perspective. Furthermore, the study finds that this pattern is not limited to a single case or specific timeframe; from 2023 and 2025, the discourse of cyber misogyny continued to be reproduced, often in more subtle and covert forms within coverage of female celebrities.
