Abstract
This article offers an in-depth examination of image-based sexual abuse (IBSA) platforms and considers how they intersect within broader pornographic and misogynistic cultures online.
Research was conducted on two websites which openly condone the sharing and viewing of non-consensually shared sexual images to examine user motivations, behaviour, and culture. Using a feminist lens, the article presents evidence of significant cultural differences and motivations for image sharing and website use across platforms, as well as the increasing ‘pornification’ of IBSA images. More broadly, the article considers how the behaviours and attitudes amongst IBSA communities are replicated within the growing misogynistic landscape online. In doing so, it considers how male peer support theory and digital criminology can help to understand current, and future, forms of online misogyny.
