What to do about the social media shaming of figure skater Zhu Yi
CNN
Kara Alaimo argues that cruel attacks on China's Zhu Yi after falling during an Olympic figure skating competition are more than morally wrong - they also betray misogyny, misplaced nationalism and a short-sighted view of failure. She explains how having the skater's back online could be a game-changer.
The hashtag "Zhu Yi has fallen" was viewed more than 200 million times within hours on the Chinese social media platform Weibo, before apparently being censored. The comment "This is such a disgrace" quickly garnered 11,000 upvotes.
