Tayla Harris said the comments aimed at her picture felt like sexual abuse, but Channel Seven was criticized for deleting the post.
An Australian broadcaster has been criticized for removing a picture of a female athlete from its Twitter account, after it was met with a flood of sexist and misogynist comments from online trolls.
Unfortunately, the post attracted a deluge of sexually inappropriate comments and on Tuesday evening Channel Seven opted to remove the picture, explaining its reason for doing so via a statement on Twitter. However, while the AFL's official broadcaster aimed to placate a controversy, its decision to remove the picture only served to spark an even greater firestorm of criticism.
Two-time Olympic gold medallist Anna Meares shared the picture on her Twitter account, indicating she was astounded by the broadcaster’s decision to remove the original post. Harris also shared the picture, captioning it: “Here’s a pic of me at work…think about this before your derogatory comments, animals".“We’re sorry. Removing the photo sent the wrong message,” its account tweeted. “Many of the comments made on the post were reprehensible, and we’ll work harder to ban trolls from our pages.”
“That is what I would consider sexual abuse on social media. If these people are saying things like this to someone they don't know on a public platform, what are they saying behind closed doors, and what are they doing?"
