良言傷人，六月亦寒：台灣反對同性婚姻網路言論探析

Good Words Hurt Too: The Cyberdiscourse Against Same-Sex Marriage in Taiwan

網際網路的匿名性與方便近用性改變了人們傳播理念的方式，也讓網路上的歧視、偏頗言論充斥於新聞留言版、特定立場網站、論壇等。二十世紀末至本世紀初諸多相關研究探討、反思網際網路對公共議題溝通論辯之影響，指出其確實造成受到歧視群體之心理甚或身體傷害，此一現象亦隨而引發公眾注意及政府立法規範等考量。本研究聚焦於近年來掀起台灣各方激烈辯論之同性婚姻議題，以2014年相關網站文章、立法院公聽會紀錄網路版及網路新聞留言為對象，分析反對同性婚姻論述傳遞之意識型態與其所用之溝通策略，發現這些台灣當代網路論述與外國英語仇恨網站論述相當類似，除翻譯或挪用後者內容、策略外，難見本地獨特之論點及溝通模式，即使前者強調之我國國情主張，亦近似他國諸多名藉傳統文化為由，反對現代民主社會中平等人權之運動訴求，可能亦是網路無遠弗屆的跨國影響而形成全球公民社會之證。

The anonymity and accessibility of the Internet has facilitated the way people promulgate ideas and beliefs and resulted in an unprecedented wave of biased and discriminatory speech in cyberspace. Its impact on policy issues and harm to disadvantaged groups has been widely explored since the end of the last century. This article analyzes cyberdiscourse attacking the same-sex marriage proposal in Taiwan in 2014 for its rhetorical strategies and imagined communal conceptions of marriage and homosexuals. The results show that although the anti-same-sex marriage discourse appeals to Chinese traditional values, it either appropriates the discursive strategies or translates the content and concepts from foreign hate group sites. This lack of local particularity illustrates the delocalizing effect of the Internet on today's domestic anti-same-sex marriage campaigns and the ways they are heavily powered by transnational information flows via cyberspace.
