Abstract

The article examines, from the perspective of political gender violence, the escalation of hate speech against the president of the Human Rights Commission of the Legislative Assembly of Minas Gerais (ALMG), deputy Andréia de Jesus (PSOL), which resulted in a death threat on her profile on the social media platform Twitter, in November 2021. Hybrid content analysis was adopted to study a corpus of offensive comments in order to understand the motivations and level of media competence of the authors. It was observed that the posts to the state congresswoman were predominantly made by men, with strong traces of emotional reasons and a high incidence of intolerance to human rights and the left.
