Moral Panic

 



Moral Panic

1. Concern:

An event that sparks social anxiety

2. Hostility:

A subcommunity will be targeted by the media for "causing" problems which would be deliberately  be blamed until they are cancelled. they are also called "Folk Devils".

3. Consensus

It happens simultaneously with hostility, in this instance the event would completely take over the narrative and would be everywhere around the news.

4.Disproportionality

The event would be greatly exaggerated by the media to make it seem more dangerous than it needs to be, to tell people to fear it and stay away from it. This also used to make people ignore the real life problems such as inflation.

5.Volatility

The change would be made in society and it would slowly fade away.


Case Study:

Andrew Tate


Former professional kickboxer and internet sensation Emory Andrew Tate III is American-British. After retiring from kickboxing, Tate started selling paid memberships and courses on his website, and he later became well-known as an online influencer.

Why was Tate removed from social media? Tate was apparently banned from Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Twitter, and Twitch due to statements he made regarding women. Many of his comments regarding women were unmistakably sexist, despite the fact that his political views were divisive.
