Yet another one

Textual Poaching

Research Question:

  • Topic – Audience responses to seeing homosexuality in characters on t.v.

  • Question – What are the effects of text attacks on the actual text and on the audiences.

  • Significance – Will help us understand stratagies that can be applied to the audiences for future uses.

Argument:

  • Claim – gamekeeping and textual poaching is responsible for homophobic tendencies.

  • Reasons – more people are reacting with homophobic tendencies rather than taking the “initiative” to be homophobic. Becomes more accepted by the masses.

  • Evidence – the prime evidence for Bury is online forums, and it support her claims

  • Alternatives – the alternative idea is that most of the audience is silent because they are are staight and would rather stay out of sight during these conflicts.
