Marginalized survivors—particularly women of color, LGBTQ+ individuals, and Indigenous peoples—are routinely excluded from media narratives, erasing their specific vulnerabilities and needs. Centering these voices reveals systemic biases and informs more equitable policy design.
The Yung Filly case illustrates how celebrity culture, weak transnational legal structures, and media sensationalism converge to obscure the systemic roots of gendered violence.
By integrating Indigenous restorative concepts, historical patterns of patriarchal law, and scientific insights on digital influence, stakeholders can design coordinated legal frameworks and platform policies that protect survivors. Centering marginalized voices and employing trickster perspectives reveals the paradoxes that sustain impunity, while artistic‑spiritual interventions can shift public consciousness toward solidarity. Implementing the outlined solution pathways—legal coordination, platform accountability, survivor‑centered services, and media ethics reform—offers a comprehensive route to dismantle the structural conditions that enable such abuses.
