Abstract

This chapter analyzes the obscure activity of “auctioning” women on social media and a corpus of provocative content surrounding the practice in the Indian online spheres. It explores new social processes of hateful cultures emerging at the intersection of gender, religion, political majoritarianism, and platform affordances. Highlighting the importance of pornography in anti-women hate cultures, the chapter shows how digital sexual violence gets enmeshed with majoritarian political aggression via the consumption of porn. For digital hate scholarship, the social dynamics captured in this study reveal the ways in which exclusionary ideologies with long histories combine with widely consumed tropes of sex and porn through niche groups of supporters as they draw strength and have “fun” from the viscerality of sharing, playing, and mashing up objects floating in the Internet world in a variety of social media and social interaction processes.
