Abstract
Language itself is not an ideal method of communication, therefore the meaning given to words by the one who uttered or wrote them is often not identical to the multitude of meanings given to words by those who listen or read them. Words are not difficult to manipulate with.
Hate speech includes statements that intimidate, harass individuals or groups, but it includes also statements that call for violence, hatred and discrimination against individuals or groups.
Reasons for hatred and discrimination are mainly: race, religion, gender or sexual orientation.
Hate speech becomes even more complex when we know that it does not have to be based on lies and insults at all. The aestheticization of hatred and the masking of hate speech through provocative, intriguing and often inflammatory contents are on the horizon. In the era of online media, journalists also use headlines that can provoke today very malicious comments on forums in order to draw attention and thus create a negative and hostile atmosphere.
