This research examines online comments (n = 455) of news articles about sexual assault shared by local news outlets in a rural area of the Deep South to determine the degree to which rape myth acceptance (RMA) is upheld and/or challenged. We found approximately two-thirds of the comments upheld traditional rape myths while one-third focused on supporting the victim and holding the alleged perpetrator accountable. The data also demonstrate the importance of cultural context of the Deep South in shaping the content of rape myths. These findings can be used to guide context-specific education programs that challenge rape myths and elevate community support for victims
