“…Roos (2020) maintains that people engaging in calling out and dragging on social media are 'justice warriors' whose primary goal is the policing of other people's behaviours while also forcing their own value system on them. Also, Dimitrakaki and Weeks (2019) claim that calling out and dragging dons an air of "ideological conflict" as its terminology is inherently negative. Equally, Chiou (2020) posits that calling out and dragging is firmly rooted in a kind of morally righteous mentality in which people cancelling others on social media see it as a necessary social obligation to denounce and vilify someone whom they consider to be morally inferior and consequently deserves to be subjected to public criticism.…”

Calling out and dragging practice has emerged as one of the dominant popular cultures among Nigerian youths owing to the ubiquity of social media platforms. However, despite the growing acceptability of calling out and dragging among the youths, empirical research focusing on this online practice are generally rare. Therefore, this study investigated University of Ibadan undergraduates’ conceptions and dispositions towards calling out and dragging on Twitter. The theory of reasoned action was employed as the conceptual framework, while data were primarily sourced from 318 undergraduates who were selected through the multistage sampling technique. Survey questionnaires and in-depth interview methods were strategically combined for the purpose of data elicitation. Results showed that the majority of the respondents (64%) conceived calling out and dragging as the tagging of the depraved members of society. Although the most significant single share (55.5%) identified celebrities as the category of people frequently called out and dragged on Twitter, most of them (55.9%) mentioned religious issues as the trending topic they usually consciously avoided. Calling out and dragging is an online practice that needs to be moderated because of its potential multiple social ramifications.

“…Angela Dimitrakaki and Harry Weeks in their introduction to the recent edition of critical theory journal Third Text on anti-fascist art discuss the dangers of the aestheticisation of the alt-right, mentioning the example of 'the exhumation of Julius Evola's recombinant occult fascism and its legitimisation as ironic neo-reaction to be consumed as, well, aesthetic pleasure brought to you by art' (Dimitrakaki and Weeks 2019). Julius Evola's theories have recently returned in fashion amongst the alt-right to the point that the Atlantic named him 'the intellectual darling' of the alt-right (Momigliano 2017).…”
