#SaveInstagram is the hashtag I chose to focus on for this unit. This was a movement that caused hysteria that users instagram accounts would be deleted with no factual evidence to back this. #rutgersdcim #Virtual90

The hashtag I am choosing is #GirlswhoGame to represent this weeks readings. #Gamergate refers to the combatting of misogynistic stereotypes within the gaming world, and #Girlswhogame just does that

@SzetoYung This is a great hashtag that reflects upon a marginalized community. I also chose this example and love the awareness created by the movement.

A community based hashtag I chose to review was #TheatreTwitter as someone very interested by the fine arts I am a frequent member of this community. This refers to the readings as 'Theatre Twitter" shows how a community can form from a hashtag. #Virtual90 #RutgersDCIM

this connects to the reading as it demonstrates the amount of artificialness that has been infused into how we perceive relationships, especially online.

[Andrew Merli @MerliAndrew]

The hashtag I chose was #RelationshipGoals this is the most common amongst relationships hashtag and demonstrates the standards that have been set for relationships to be posted on social media. #RutgersDCIM #virtual90

This hashtag signifies the challenges women face on a daily basis to combat sexual harassment. This relates to the #Activism section of reading we reviewed in class, which shows the significance online movements and the impact they have in the realworld. #Virtual90 #RutgersDCIM

I really enjoyed my conversation w/ @MonicaLewinsky about exploring public shaming in her new HBO Max documentary "15 Minutes of Shame" & how things might have been different today with social media, post #MeToo & in the age of "cancel culture." https://t.co/daiKRrvfR4
