Using the agonistic approach, this study examines the agonistic struggles within the YouTube comment section of Taiwan's TVBS news videos on 'Fight back with the Box Knife' through mixed methods. The study reveals three significant findings. Firstly, news videos have the ability to arouse netizens' attention and discussions on events. However, these comments went beyond the scope of the news, not only deviating from mainstream values and official views but also presenting various language styles and multiple viewpoints on aspects not covered by the news. Second, the public in the comment section is diverse, participating in cultural practices and engaging in debates over the definition of ''reactive aggression'' through their comments. At least three different types of publics and discourses have emerged: rational publics opposing reactive aggression, sympathetic publics advocating for appropriate reactive aggression, and angry publics endorsing a tit-for-tat response, with the latter being the most prevalent. Lastly, the comments are mainly personal expressions, but there are still netizens attempting to exchange views with those holding different positions, leading to more distinct agonistic struggles. Lastly, the comments are mainly personal expressions, but there are still netizens attempting to exchange views with those holding different positions, resulting in more distinct agonistic struggles. However, there are also 'hate' speeches in the comment area, which may go beyond the scope of 'agonistic struggle,' aiming to turn dissidents into enemies, which is not conducive to the development of a democratic society. |
