>Teenage boys share offensive memes about Holocaust and rape to score ‘lad points’, expert says
>Offensive memes are normalising racism, sexism and homophobia’
>Teenage boys are sharing offensive memes about the Holocaust, rape and slavery to score “lad points” with their classmates, an expert has said.
>More than third (36 per cent) of schoolboys admit to sending or receiving racist or homophobic pictures – compared to just 17 per cent of teenage girls, new research has found.
>Nearly three-quarters of students, aged 11 to 18, have seen offensive memes on private group chats, according to a survey from Digital Awareness UK. And two in five boys see them every single day.
>Emma Robertson, co-founder of Digital Awareness UK (DAUK), said the image-sharing ranged from the less serious to offensive images about “fat shaming”, the Holocaust, and the #MeToo campaign.
>She added that memes – which are pictures or gifs, often with writing overlaid that can change the context of the original material – included “horrible comparisons with black people and animals”.
>The survey of 20,000 students also revealed that 88 per cent of offensive content viewed by them was racist, 80 per cent was sexist, and 74 per cent as homophobic. “If you’re seeing this sort of content at least once a day, that’s going to affect you,” Ms Robertson added.
