@ericasdinardo @ladygaga @ladygaga is a great example of a celebrity committed to using their platform/voice to create positive change. She encourages others to follow her lead, and keeps her support consistent which allows her fans to align the cause with her support

[Emily Tarino @EmilyEat115]

@tulsipatel_DCIM @Oprah @Oprah is a great example of a leader, she has always set herself apart from other celebrities with her poise and abilities to connect with pretty much everyone. Her book list is another form of leadership within a certain segment/area

[Emily Tarino @EmilyEat115]

- communities all around the United States. This is also seen in her involvement with the farmers protests in India, using her platform on social media she got the protesters the visibility needed to create changes.

#LIDCF21_91 I consider @rihanna both a celebrity and a leader, and she was just recognized as a national hero of Barbados. She has worked alongside countless charities to raise funds and awareness for a multitude of causes and even has her own charity @ClaraLionelFdn which -

@rihanna @ClaraLionelFdn - focuses on climate change and natural disaster relief. In the reading, Marsh Hart and Tindall explain that celebrity advocates tend to be more active and more committed to changing policy than just a celebrity. Rihanna has shown that by her commitment to bettering Barbados-

@KATHRYNHAAS5 I know this term is common on TikTok, being "shadow banned" it can make the creator feel that their content is not good enough or not interesting.Which in turn can negatively impact mental wellbeing. But it greatly depends on the reasons/ways the creator is using the platform

[Emily Tarino @EmilyEat115]

@SamWeber_DCIM I love this hashtag! Social media can be a place filled with comparison, but comparison is the thief of joy (a saying I like). But in this case social media is being used as a platform to uplift and celebrate each other. Not everything is as black and white as Seymour suggests

[Emily Tarino @EmilyEat115]

-and wrong side without attempting to fully uncover the situation first which often results in a pop culture/social media frenzy with little actual consequences or actions

[Emily Tarino @EmilyEat115]

#Virtual90 #RutgersDCIM I chose #cancelculture which is the collective action of turning against something, or someone after being called out for perceived inappropriate behavior. the hashtag has become increasingly popular the past few years. Cancel culture creates a - (1/2)

[Emily Tarino @EmilyEat115]

-negative and wrong doings, many have been cancelled for opposing popular viewpoints such as religions or political parties. Recently cancel culture has been affecting literature which is frightening. Audiences are quick to jump on a bandwagon where there is a perceived right-

@nora_ssv I really like this, it is interesting how quickly people attack what is unfamiliar to them despite it being entirely inappropriate and hateful. Change to accommodate non white/straight/male audiences is entirely the right direction for the gaming community.

[Emily Tarino @EmilyEat115]

@ScheuingMeghan This was a great example of a hashtag that provides community and support for those who like to game but don't fit the stereotypical "heterosexual white male" description that Braithwaite mentions

[Emily Tarino @EmilyEat115]

- despite the difficulties entering and existing in a male dominated space

[Emily Tarino @EmilyEat115]

#virtual90 #DCIMRutgers I chose #girlswhogame because this hashtag combats the stereotypical and common understanding that gaming is a hobby/environment designed for men-"a guy thing" and gives girls/women an opportunity to openly express their interest and enjoyment in a gaming-

[Emily Tarino @EmilyEat115]

@mgisinger1 I too used this hashtag- given that Native Americans/Indigenous people are continuously left out of mainstream media, the use of a hashtag has increased and accelerated the exposure available on this given issue

[Emily Tarino @EmilyEat115]

@ScheuingMeghan I also used this hashtag- the hashtag gives a greater opportunity for exposure on this topic given as a marginalized group they are often left out of mainstream media and social conversations

[Emily Tarino @EmilyEat115]

- media. With this hashtag it gives a platform to the issues that they/we need addressed.

[Emily Tarino @EmilyEat115]

#virtual90 #RutgersDCIM The hashtag I chose was #notyourcostume Native American's and Indigenous people have had to educate others to not wear their clothing as Halloween costumes yearly. As a marginalized group they are frequently dismissed, ignored, or left out of mainstream-

@DanielleLazaro9 Many shows have been jumping on the hashtag wagon because it is such a great way to build a community of fans who are excited to share their mutual interest online (and boost the hashtag popularity too)
