Abstract

The prevalence of gender-based violence against women (GBVAW), including revenge porn as a form of technology-facilitated gender-based violence (TFGBV), reflects the evolving nature of crime alongside technological advances. The media plays an important role in shaping and disseminating information about crime, given that crime events do not directly affect every individual. Moreover, the media acts as a central agent in constructing the public’s perception of crime realities. Nonetheless, crime news frequently contains distortion and bias, resulting in a disparity between the actual social reality and how it is presented. This study explores the online mass media contribution to shaping public narratives regarding revenge porn cases involving female victims, with particular attention to the phenomenon of slut-shaming resulting from unbalanced reporting. The research employs a qualitative approach with content analysis, using the framework of newsmaking criminology. Two key indicators guide the analysis: media distortion in narrative construction and the sensationalization of crime news, as observed in six online media outlets operating through TikTok platform. The findings reveal that online media content disseminated via TikTok fosters public sexist reactions towards female revenge porn victims, often through slut-shaming practices. Media distortions and sensationalism contribute to a false perception associating revenge porn with pornography. As a result, victims are frequently labeled as “actors,” “players,” or even “porn stars,” despite their victimhood and the legal violations associated with such publications under Indonesian law.

Abstract

A Women are constructed by the patriarchal society as weak and gentle, loving, forgiving, polite and well-mannered. Which is then passed down into a patriarchal culture, patriarchal culture makes men in a dominant position towards the community environment, and women only submit to listening and following orders. Patriarchal culture in practice constructs a perspective or thought and view that women are just an object (property) to be owned. In the tightness felt by women with feelings of being marginalized by a society that contributes to patriarchal practices, it implies that women find it difficult to move out of the domestic space into a wider public space. The media becomes one of the agents that carry values and norms that implement the practice of marginalizing women. This article will discuss the framing and construction of the media embedded in female murderers in Indonesia, which is part of the media's representation of women as perpetrators of murder. This research also reviews from a criminological aspect. The method used is a qualitative approach with text analysis method and data management in the form of document study and text observation.
