In this paper, we use mixed methods to study a controversial Internet site:
The Kotaku in Action (KiA) subreddit. Members of KiA are part of GamerGate, a
distributed social movement. We present an emic account of what takes place on
KiA who are they, what are their goals and beliefs, and what rules do they
follow. Members of GamerGate in general and KiA in particular have often been
accused of harassment. However, KiA site policies explicitly prohibit such
behavior, and members insist that they have been falsely accused. Underlying
the controversy over whether KiA supports harassment is a complex disagreement
about what "harassment" is, and where to draw the line between freedom of
expression and censorship. We propose a model that characterizes perceptions of
controversial speech, dividing it into four categories: criticism, insult,
public shaming, and harassment. We also discuss design solutions that address
the challenges of moderating harassment without impinging on free speech, and
communicating across different ideologies.

通过对 Kotaku in Action 社区进行混合研究，我们给出了一个关于 GamerGate 的探讨，阐述了他们的目的和规则，指出了 KiA 网站政策明确禁止骚扰行为的立场，并提出了方案来解决言论自由和骚扰之间的争议，并讨论了如何在不侵犯言论自由的前提下解决骚扰问题。
