  • The Effects of Sexualized and Violent Presentations of Women in Combat Sport
    Journal of Sport Management, 2017, 31, 533-545 https://doi.org/10.1123/jsm.2016-0333 © 2017 Human Kinetics, Inc. ARTICLE The Effects of Sexualized and Violent Presentations of Women in Combat Sport T. Christopher Greenwell University of Louisville Jason M. Simmons University of Cincinnati Meg Hancock and Megan Shreffler University of Louisville Dustin Thorn Xavier University This study utilizes an experimental design to investigate how different presentations (sexualized, neutral, and combat) of female athletes competing in a combat sport such as mixed martial arts, a sport defying traditional gender norms, affect consumers’ attitudes toward the advertising, event, and athlete brand. When the female athlete in the advertisement was in a sexualized presentation, male subjects reported higher attitudes toward the advertisement and the event than the female subjects. Female respondents preferred neutral presentations significantly more than the male respondents. On the one hand, both male and female respondents felt the fighter in the sexualized ad was more attractive and charming than the fighter in the neutral or combat ads and more personable than the fighter in the combat ads. On the other hand, respondents felt the fighter in the sexualized ad was less talented, less successful, and less tough than the fighter in the neutral or combat ads and less wholesome than the fighter in the neutral ad.

    Lund University International Marketing and Brand Management Master Thesis June 2021 Distancing From Dirt A Qualitative Study on How Cancel Culture Has Become a Resource for Identity Construction in an Online Setting By: Jasmina Smajlovic & Frida Åhl Supervisor: Jon Bertilsson Examiner: Fleura Bardhi Abstract Title: Distancing From Dirt: A Qualitative Study on How Cancel Culture Has Become a Resource for Identity Construction in an Online Setting Course: BUSN39: Degree Project in Global Marketing Authors: Jasmina Smajlovic & Frida Åhl Supervisor: Jon Bertilsson Examiner: Fleura Bardhi Keywords: Identity Construction, Consumer Identity, Framing, Cancel Culture, Oatly, DisneyPlus Thesis Purpose: With this research we aim to understand the dynamics of consumers' use of cancel culture as a resource for their identity construction online. Theoretical Framework: Theories included were surrounding framing, morality, consumers as moral protagonists, purity and dirt as well as distaste and symbolic violence. These theories were selected to aid with the analysis of the empirical material and to add new insight to the concept of identity construction by negatively distancing from brands. Methodology: This study was conducted with a foundation of a relativist and social constructivist worldview. The research design used is qualitative and the netnography was conducted with an inductive approach. For the analysis, the method of content analysis was used to unfold underlying codes and patterns in the empirical material. Main Findings: This research found that consumers use cancel culture as a resource for identity construction in an online setting. By analysing the empirical material it was found that the constant use of viscous, satirical, emotional and political framing is a way for consumers to negatively distance themselves from brands and other consumers in order to build on their identities.

In the U.S. since 2018, 69 percent of Republicans claim that technology companies favor liberal views, whereas only 19 percent of Democrats say that technology companies favor the alternative view. Over 50 percent of liberals believe that perspectives are treated equally, whereas only 22 percent of conservatives feel this way. Critics who allege bias have organized to promote legislation such as the Ending Support for Internet Censorship Act (2020) as well as an executive order (Executive Order 13,925, 2020). Furthermore, conservative entrepreneurs have produced new social media platforms such as Gab and Parler that claim
