Abstract

Based on the contributions of gender studies and Umberto Eco’s propositions, this article aims to understand the nature of the idiot who gains the word within the sole environment that can give such a figure the privilege of being read – the internet. For that, we used comments from readers on news stories regarding crimes against women published in news websites in Brazil and Portugal. With the aim of understanding the nature of this figure, we though the idiot from its own axiological modes, which requires the understanding of such a category of people. Then, we analyzed the comments from some internet readers that seem to us typical of the idiot.
