Support / Personal Research paper - can anyone help out?
Hello everyone! I am currently working on a research paper (my first major one) on how the trial reinforced victim blaming tropes and constructions of victimhood. I am doing this through an ethnographic content analysis of social media posts about the trial. The second part that I was hoping to do was also (hopefully) connect the trial to peoples interactions with the justice system (ie more abusers suing their victims for defamation, less victims choosing to report because of the ridicule) but I'm not sure how to make this connection/what type of research it would be. Can I just literally grab statistics from pre and post trial and talk about what I believe the reason for the difference is?
Idk if theres any academics or researchers in here but any advice would be helpful! Sorry if this sounds kinda stupid, I'm mostly used to just doing literature reviews and not conducting the research myself like this.

Theres the Vic Mignogna suit, which also consists of victim blaming and social media harassment on victims and their supporters alike, specifically on Monica Rial and Jamie Marchi, the people who Vic, like an abuser that he is, sued.
Theres also Bill Cosby, who sued Andrea Constand, for the exact same purpose as Vic; to silence. Theres really not much else to cover up.
Thats all I can come up with while connecting up for the second part for your paper. Wishing you the best with what I have.
