This paper is an attempt
to explore and understand how SNS users responded to domestic violence against one Cambodian actress. Specially, I
examined their comments whether they expressed sympathetic feelings
toward her, or blaming her karma/fate, or suggesting divorce. To answer these
questions, I used the semantic analysis by
debunking socioeconomic backgrounds of the respondents, except gender
identity that was
identified. This study has found that the majority of men blamed the victim,
Karma and the majority of women recommended the victim a divorce and legal
assistance, indicating that men
still have a strong patriarchal ideology, but women are now more likely to rely
on the modern legal system.
