Manosphere Dataset — All Forums

The complete Manosphere dataset of Ribeiro et al., "The Evolution of the Manosphere Across the Web" (ICWSM 2021), as released on Zenodo: 37,113,641 posts from nine communities, crawled in 2019 for a study of misogynist online communities: Reddit (29,482,387 posts from 56 manosphere subreddits), Incels.co (2,436,297), Roosh V Forum (1,492,561), The Attraction (892,743), PUA Forum (890,652), Red Pill Talk (884,001), MGTOW Forum (794,698), A Voice For Men (211,070) and Love-Shy (29,232). One table of posts serves all nine communities and its column collection_member names the community; each of the five forums that also have their own ECHO entry (Incels.co, Roosh V, Red Pill Talk, A Voice For Men and Love-Shy) is a view of this collection. The package also holds the two lookup tables of the release: 56,432,423 Reddit comments of the 58 subreddits listed by author (6,226,949 usernames) and by subreddit, each with its time and, in the author table, its comment ID.
