Thanks @SpiritAirlines for 2 fucking canceled flights and ruining my spring break, your customer service sucks, no refunds and will never be flying with you again! 🖕🏻
@WadihSophia I can definitely see a possible correlation between poor mental health and social media due to users comparing themselves to others online and everyone making their social media a highlight reel showing the best parts of their lives.
@mgisinger1 I definitely agree and relate to the dopamine hit on social media. I find myself unfortunately mindlessly scrolling for so long which is exactly what these companies want, my time and attention.
The Seymour article also mentions how it can be difficult to distinguish the truth. When misinformation or disinformation is presented online as truth, many people are left confused if it’s factual or not.
a hashtag that represents an example of moral panic is #covidmisinformation lots of false information is spread online leading to certain actions and outcomes. As explained in the Seymour article, “fake news spreads fast”. #Virtual90#RutgersDCIM
@ScheuingMeghan This is a great hashtag, as companies should be thinking more about who is playing their games and how they should want to represent those players on screen. People from all different backgrounds can still enjoy the same game, so long as they feel included
@mgisinger1 This is a great example of how those who benefit from inequality (in this case, gender) do not want to hear anyone’s criticism. The toxic masculinity displayed in games can then be made present in real life.
A hashtag that relates to #Gamergate is #girlgamer. In the Braithwaite article it mentions “geek masculinity” and how gaming is seen as a “guy’s thing”. This hashtag shows a community of other girls who game, not just guys. #RutgersDCIM#Virtual90
@marygracechris4 Women are definitely not valued the same as men, unfortunately. This hashtags allows women to see that they are not alone in some of the gender-based violence or inequality they have experienced.
#IAmNotACostume shares cultural appropriation of a variety of marginalized communities through Halloween costumes. If you are not part of a culture or race, you should not be dressing up as such for Halloween. #RutgersDCIM#Virtual90
@DanielleLazaro9 Using a hashtag for a show is a great way for other watchers to chat during the show, I personally look at hashtags on Twitter while I watch the Bachelor and see people live-tweet. All people interested in the same show can connect using a hashtag
@MortelliteBella This is a great example of a community utilizing a hashtag. Especially if a game is going on, viewers can search under the hashtag and follow along to read others’ commentary and shared interest.
Having a hashtag is an easy way to create a sense of community because one can use it and find an entire network of those with the same shared interest.
In the Papacharissi reading public was described as a collection of people who have a shared identity. Those who are vegan can use the hashtag #veganliving to find others in the community or see photos of vegan food. #RutgersDCIM#Virtual90
@mgisinger1 This is definitely unsuccessful. If I was on the app reading this I would feel he has a sense of entitlement and a bit of arrogance. While it is perfectly fine to have standards, the way this is worded (and spelled) is not great.
@marygracechris4 I definitely agree that people treat dating apps like a game. I feel some dating apps are taken more seriously than others. Some think only seeing someone’s profile tells a lot about them
#tindersuccessstory shows that there are successful relationships that can form through online dating. The Hobbs article suggests how dating apps are a good way to meet and connect with others. #Virtual90#RutgersDCIM
This tweet shows hashtag activism. This is a great example of virtual support and standing in solidarity for other survivors part of this community. Seeing this tweet shows others they are not alone in what they have faced. #Virtual90#RutgersDCIM
