@MLH212120 She seems like a great leader and being well-spoken about trans rights is important. Teaching others about things unfamiliar is difficult, but she seems happy being an advocate leader.

@SC2260 @LeoDiCaprio DiCaprio is a great example as he has shown through his actions through his retweets and being on other organizations bringing more attention to those topics.

From the reading this week as stated "Most celebrities attach themselves to a charity or a cause"(Marsh, p.323). Bill Gates has not only helped other charities but created his own, spending time and money out of his way to help others.

Bill Gates has been using both his influence and his own money with charities like the gates foundation which fights against poverty and diseases around the world. He is influential in the development of Microsoft used around the world. #LIDCS22_90 https://t.co/j116jlY9jL

@MATTHEW44406534 There are many instances of people wanting to share pictures of themselves but don't because they are not as good looking as the others online making it become more toxic than empowering.

@Hadiqa21 Cyberbullying is still ongoing and people have a hard time dealing with threats and harassment online without any way to stop them other than blocking them.

#nofilter was a popular hashtag that showed the real person behind pictures that were normally filtered. This trend allowed people who felt insecure to feel empowered that they were allowed to show themselves normally rather than having to use filters. #Virtual90 #RutgersDCIM

@ParisYee2 In the JasonR situation, streamers like Tarik calling him out on his weird behavior is how people should act. People shouldn't just avoid women just because they are female in video games.

@nabeel_kazi_737 I do not understand why people have to go out of their way to harass women who just want to play a game. Gamergate helped point out a lot of flaws with the design of video games and how some things were harmful to women.

playing games just as they were. #Virtual90 #RutgersDCIM #RutgersDCIM

[STEVEN CHAO @chaosteven0]

#WomeninGaming is a hashtag that is on a similar spectrum to #GamerGate. As more women were getting into video games there was a pushback from the male-dominated space where games were created for. Women faced sexism and harassment online from males when they were just

@erinodelldcim I think this is a good example as they are seen most of the time to always comply. Adults can speak up for them as it gives them power and speaking what they really feel.

#policebrutality shows the acts of police that resort to extreme violence against marginalized groups of people, mostly from the black community. It shows how the police force them, threatening their lives, even if they had done nothing wrong. #RutgersDCIM #Virtual90

@Tang_He_ I think that our society embraces sexuality and that it changes how people view sexuality. Apps like Hinge and tinder help people connect with others in whatever way they want to.

[STEVEN CHAO @chaosteven0]

#MentalHealthAwareness is a hashtag that allows for people who are going through the same similar experience to talk with each other to relate and their feelings towards their experiences are valid. Building a community to help others is helpful especially virtually #RutgersDCIM

@larapena2020 Hi Lara, I thought that this culture was an interesting phenomenon because normally in the past it was frowned upon, but now this culture that we are surrounded by. People embrace their sexuality instead of looking for longer-lasting relationships and it became the norm.

#onlinedating Online dating has become much more relevant in many people's lives due to COVID and various circumstances. In Liquid love, they discuss how dating has become prevalent with people using apps to meet new people and find love online. #Virtual90 #RutgersDCIM

@janelee0602 Hi Jane, I think bringing attention to issues that are not talked about enough in society is important as some things have been downplayed before.

[STEVEN CHAO @chaosteven0]

@RachelChangRU This activism tends to bring awareness to these issues in Asian communities and in the past these issues were swept under the rug, but bringing these to light is important.

[STEVEN CHAO @chaosteven0]

#BlackLivesMatter is important to point out and expose the unjust treatment through their activism. It helps raise more awareness of social issues around racism. #Virtual90 #RutgersDCIM
