<![CDATA[This study aims to describe hate speech in the comments section of the YouTube series "Hilirisasi" on the @GibranTV channel through a forensic linguistic study using a pragmatics scalpel. The focus of the study includes the forms of hate speech, types of illocutionary speech acts, violations of politeness maxims, and forensic linguistic categories that appear in netizens' comments. The method used is descriptive qualitative, with data in the form of netizens' comments containing indications of hate speech in the video's comment section. Hate speech data were collected using observation guidelines based on time triangulation. The research data were analyzed thematically. The results show that hate speech in the comment section is manifested in the form of insults, accusations, negative labeling, invitations, and provocation. The speech is dominated by expressive, assertive, and directive speech acts, and contains violations of the maxims of praise, sympathy, wisdom, agreement, generosity, and simplicity. From a forensic linguistic perspective, the speech found can be categorized as insults, provocation, incitement, defamation, and indications of the dissemination of unverified information. These findings suggest that digital comments not only serve as a means of expressing opinions, but also have the potential to become a form of verbal aggression.]]>
