论文摘要
印度演员Sushant Singh Rajput自杀于19号锁定时，引发了媒体的最佳时间报道，持续了几个月，并成为了政治热门纽扣问题。使用Twitter，YouTube的数据以及揭穿的错误信息故事的档案，我们发现了两个重要模式。首先，在Twitter上转发汇率清楚地表明，评论员从谈论此案中受益，该案件的参与度比其他主题更高。其次，尤其是政治家，通过将案件称为“谋杀”而不是“自杀”，在改变话语过程中发挥了作用。总之，我们考虑了拉杰普特局外人地位作为电影业中的小镇植入物的影响，在更广泛的系统性不公正叙事中以及暴民正义的性别方面，这些方面在此后几个月就瞄准了他的前伴侣。
The suicide of Indian actor Sushant Singh Rajput in the midst of the COVID-19 lockdown triggered a media frenzy of prime time coverage that lasted several months and became a political hot button issue. Using data from Twitter, YouTube, and an archive of debunked misinformation stories, we found two important patterns. First, that retweet rates on Twitter clearly suggest that commentators benefited from talking about the case, which got higher engagement than other topics. Second, that politicians, in particular, were instrumental in changing the course of the discourse by referring to the case as 'murder', rather than 'suicide'. In conclusion, we consider the effects of Rajput's outsider status as a small-town implant in the film industry within the broader narrative of systemic injustice, as well as the gendered aspects of mob justice that have taken aim at his former partner in the months since.
