Abstract

In recent times, the government’s news regulation toward sexual violence in the university has got attraction among different parties. This issue has triggered biased responses on various online platforms. Such every person who responds brings ideologies that have been their own belief in determining whether it is a proper regulation or neither. This study aimed to examine public ideological friction on online news sites toward sexual violence regulation in Indonesian universities. This study was a qualitative study designed to understand phenomena that occur such as responses, comments perceptions, etc. holistically. Data collected were public responses taken from online news site platforms, such as KOMPAS.com, Detik.com, Merdeka, VOI, tirto.id, Hidayatullah.com, and kumparanNEWS. Data collection was done by a collation of documentation, listening, and taking notes. The responses were identified through a series of agreements and rejections which is a thematic grouping based on public ideological friction. For data analysis, this study used Fairclough (1992) critical discourse analysis to address the research questions of the study. The results revealed that the public agreement used vocabulary, personal pronouns, and modality by referring to the victim to instill an ideology of legal protection and justice. Meanwhile, the public rejection used an understanding based on religion, liberalism, and destruction of the nation’s character and morals, especially students, and Pancasila. In addition, with the findings in the study, new ideology friction variations emerged that continue to grow from several multicultural perspectives our public societies have now in their own mind.
