- Abstract
In social media where counter-hegemonic discourses can be produced and which give freedom to its users through the anonymity it provides, gender is represented by the reproduction of inequality and the construction of different experiences by the transformed identity. Instagram, which is differentiated from other social media applications by its user profile formed mainly by young people and by its effect on gender formation according to dominant references, is a fertile place with these specificities to analyse sexual identities. In this research, the discourses of accounts that produce Turkish-language content focused on masculinity were analysed. The focus of the analysis is on the relationship between the existing discourse on these accounts and the dynamics of the crisis of masculinity and the movements of men, deepened by structural problems such as unemployment and also by the momentum acquired by the feminist movement. The research results indicate that the masculinity of the analysed Instagram accounts is shaped by radicalized masculinism and hate speech towards women. The discourse becomes violent when it comes to any news item that is seen as a threat to masculinity.
