Misogyny on social media has been widely discussed in recent years. A recent debate on X has once again brought attention to the issue. The discussion began after a post criticised women influencers such as Dvija Bhasin and Nidhi Chaudhary for offering subscription based exclusive content online.
The tweet listed several personalities and claimed that women using paid content models on social media were harming society. The post quickly gained traction and attracted thousands of views. However, the reactions in the comment section revealed a different and more troubling pattern.
Many replies were dismissive and highly judgemental toward women earning through digital platforms. Some users argued that creators who monetise exclusive content are manipulating algorithms to gain popularity. Others suggested they do so to eventually enter reality television or music videos.
A number of comments also attempted to link subscription based content with unethical behaviour. These arguments repeatedly claimed that earning through exclusive photos or videos online damages social values. Several remarks targeted individual influencers and questioned their character without presenting any evidence.
At the same time, many observers pointed out the hypocrisy behind the outrage. Subscription based platforms exist because users voluntarily pay to access the content. Without audience demand, such platforms would not sustain themselves.
Critics noted that the same audience often supporting these services financially is also the one criticising the creators. However, the blame in these debates is usually directed only at the women involved. The demand side of the digital market rarely receives the same scrutiny.
The episode highlights how quickly conversations about women and online work can turn hostile. Instead of discussing the broader digital economy, the focus often shifts toward shaming individuals. Such discussions raise concerns about the tone and fairness of online debates.
Some observers also note that certain content may be seen as vulgar or controversial. However, they argue that personal attacks and verbal hostility should not be encouraged. Respectful discussion remains important when addressing complex issues related to digital work.
