A model for early propagation of derivative adversarial topics based on emotional transfer and evolutionary game theory

Key Points

• The model predicts that emotional transfer significantly influences how derivative adversarial topics spread among users.
• Key metrics indicate a strong correlation between emotional transfer events and the rapid emergence of new adversarial topics.
• Observational analysis employs evolutionary game theory principles to understand interactions between users and emotional responses.
• This approach may enable better strategies to manage online discourse, highlighting the role emotions play in topic propagation.
