The pith

Parents of LGBTQ+ children in South Korea rebuild their identities through trauma and healing, which turns them into critical assessors and challengers of queer-related misinformation.

A machine-rendered reading of the paper's core claim, the machinery that carries it, and where it could break.

This paper examines how parents in South Korea respond after learning their children identify as LGBTQ+. They encounter an initial emotional rupture involving fear, isolation, and disorientation. To manage this distress, parents engage with queer-related information and misinformation as a coping strategy. Through healing and relational listening to queer realities, they reconstruct their identities as supportive parents. This identity shift then alters their informating practices, leading to greater critical evaluation of information, protective strategies against harmful content, and active efforts to challenge misinformation for others.

Core claim

Parents navigate emotional rupture fueled by fear, isolation, and disorientation after learning their children's queer identity, encounter queer-related (mis)information as a way of coping with this emotional toll, and come to listen to queer realities relationally. Through this process, parents reconstruct their identities as supportive parents, which reshapes their informating practices, making them more critical in assessing queer-related (mis)information, developing strategies to protect themselves from harmful narratives, and actively challenging misinformation to support others navigating similar experiences.

What carries the argument

The trauma-healing process that drives identity reconstruction as supportive parents and thereby transforms informating practices.

Load-bearing premise

The emotional rupture, coping through information, and identity reconstruction described by participants reflect a consistent and identifiable process across parents in the South Korean context.

What would settle it

A set of interviews or accounts from South Korean parents of LGBTQ+ children who experienced initial distress but showed no subsequent shift toward critical assessment or active challenging of misinformation would undermine the claimed link between trauma-healing and changed informating practices.

read the original abstract

This study examines how parents of LGBTQ+ individuals in South Korea navigate the emotional rupture fueled by fear, isolation, and disorientation after learning their children's queer identity, encounter queer-related (mis)information as a way of coping with this emotional toll, and come to listen to queer realities relationally. Through this process, we highlight how parents reconstruct their identities as supportive parents, which reshapes their informating practices, making them more critical in assessing queer-related (mis)information, developing strategies to protect themselves from harmful narratives, and actively challenging misinformation to support others navigating similar experiences. This work contributes to CSCW by (1) foregrounding parents of LGBTQ+ individuals, an underrepresented yet critical stakeholder group in Queer HCI; (2) demonstrating how identity reconfiguration following a trauma-healing process could transform information practices; and (3) arguing that addressing misinformation requires attention beyond individual fact-based discerning to account for its relational, cultural, and emotional dimensions. Further, we invite CSCW scholars to reconsider the balance between abstracting and humanizing information, explore future design possibilities for parents of LGBTQ+ children, and reflect on the role of researchers as participants in collective research communities fueled by care.

Referee Report

2 major / 2 minor

Summary. This paper claims that parents of LGBTQ+ children in South Korea experience an emotional rupture (fear, isolation, disorientation) upon learning their child's queer identity, cope by engaging with queer-related (mis)information, and through a relational healing process reconstruct their identities as supportive parents. This identity shift then reshapes their informating practices, making them more critical in assessing (mis)information, developing protective strategies, and actively challenging misinformation to support others. The work positions these findings as contributions to CSCW and Queer HCI by foregrounding parents as stakeholders, linking trauma-healing to transformed information practices, and arguing for attention to relational/cultural/emotional dimensions of misinformation beyond individual fact-checking.

Significance. If the central sequence holds, the study would meaningfully extend Queer HCI and CSCW by centering an underrepresented stakeholder group (parents) in high-stigma contexts and by showing how identity reconfiguration can drive changes in information practices. It offers a humanizing lens on misinformation that incorporates emotional and relational factors, with potential design implications for supporting families. The empirical qualitative approach and invitation to reflect on researcher roles in care-based communities are noted strengths, though the evidential basis for generalizability remains to be demonstrated.

major comments (2)
  1. [Methods] Methods section: No details are provided on sample size, recruitment strategy (e.g., through acceptance-oriented networks), interview protocol, or analysis procedures (e.g., thematic coding steps or validation). This directly undermines assessment of whether the reported trauma-healing-identity reconstruction sequence is robustly supported or vulnerable to post-hoc rationalization in retrospective accounts.
  2. [Findings] Findings/Discussion: The central claim that emotional rupture leads to coping via (mis)information, then to identity reconstruction and critical/challenging informating practices, rests on thematic interpretation without safeguards such as member-checking of the specific trajectory, longitudinal follow-up, or independent measures of identity change. In the South Korean high-stigma context, this raises a concrete risk that reported transformations reflect social-desirability bias or interview framing rather than an observed mechanism.
minor comments (2)
  1. [Abstract] Abstract: The phrasing 'listen to queer realities relationally' and '(Mis)Informating Practices' in the title could be clarified for readers unfamiliar with the subfield to better foreground the link between identity shift and specific practice changes.
  2. [Discussion] The contribution statements (1)-(3) in the abstract are clear but could be more tightly tied to concrete examples from the data in the discussion to strengthen the CSCW positioning.

Simulated Author's Rebuttal

2 responses · 1 unresolved

We thank the referee for their constructive and detailed feedback on our manuscript. We appreciate the opportunity to clarify and strengthen our work in response to the major comments regarding the Methods and Findings sections. We address each point below and indicate the revisions made to the manuscript.

read point-by-point responses
  1. Referee: [Methods] Methods section: No details are provided on sample size, recruitment strategy (e.g., through acceptance-oriented networks), interview protocol, or analysis procedures (e.g., thematic coding steps or validation). This directly undermines assessment of whether the reported trauma-healing-identity reconstruction sequence is robustly supported or vulnerable to post-hoc rationalization in retrospective accounts.

    Authors: We agree with the referee that the original submission omitted critical methodological details, which limits evaluation of the findings. This was an oversight during manuscript preparation. In the revised version, we have expanded the Methods section to fully describe the sample size, recruitment through acceptance-oriented networks and community channels in South Korea, the semi-structured interview protocol, and the reflexive thematic analysis process including coding steps and validation via team debriefing. These additions directly address the concern about assessing the robustness of the reported sequence. revision: yes

  2. Referee: [Findings] Findings/Discussion: The central claim that emotional rupture leads to coping via (mis)information, then to identity reconstruction and critical/challenging informating practices, rests on thematic interpretation without safeguards such as member-checking of the specific trajectory, longitudinal follow-up, or independent measures of identity change. In the South Korean high-stigma context, this raises a concrete risk that reported transformations reflect social-desirability bias or interview framing rather than an observed mechanism.

    Authors: We acknowledge the inherent limitations of retrospective qualitative accounts and the absence of certain safeguards such as member-checking for the trajectory or independent identity measures. We have added an explicit Limitations section to the revised manuscript that discusses social-desirability bias risks in the high-stigma South Korean context and the interpretive nature of our thematic analysis. We maintain that the consistent patterns across participant narratives provide credible support for the described process, which we now frame more clearly as an interpretive model rather than a strictly causal claim. We disagree that this undermines the core contribution but agree that greater transparency improves the paper. revision: partial

standing simulated objections not resolved
  • We cannot add longitudinal follow-up data or independent measures of identity change, as the original study was designed as a cross-sectional interview project and such data were not collected.

Circularity Check

0 steps flagged

No circularity; empirical qualitative study with independent interpretive content

full rationale

The paper is a qualitative empirical study that interprets participant narratives from interviews with parents in South Korea. The described sequence of emotional rupture, coping via (mis)information, identity reconstruction, and reshaped informating practices is presented as emerging from thematic analysis of retrospective accounts rather than from any derivation, fitted parameters, equations, or self-citation chains that reduce the result to its own inputs by construction. No mathematical models, predictions, or load-bearing uniqueness theorems appear in the provided text. The work is therefore self-contained against external benchmarks as an interpretive contribution to CSCW and Queer HCI.
