This work addresses the gap in understanding online toxicity in non-Western communities, which is incremental as it extends existing research to a new cultural context.
The study tackled the problem of detecting toxicity triggers in online communities, focusing on an Asian context, and found that these triggers differ significantly between Western and Eastern settings.
While the contagious nature of online toxicity sparked increasing interest in its early detection and prevention, most of the literature focuses on the Western world. In this work, we demonstrate that 1) it is possible to detect toxicity triggers in an Asian online community, and 2) toxicity triggers can be strikingly different between Western and Eastern contexts.
