✨ Our SMIDGE colleague @NybroPetersen presented her research at #AoIR2024 in Sheffield! 🎉Her talk, All the World’s a Clue: Forensic Play as Participatory Practice between Fandom and Conspiracy Theories, explored the overlap between fan culture and conspiracy theories.

This panel highlighted how fan-like practices influence political propaganda and online radicalization. Insightful research into how online communities shape narratives in unexpected ways!

We start recording season 2 next week.

Sorry for not posting more on this app, but it's a hellsite run by a fascist.

Our appeal lost. We are in YouTube jail lmao

[ILL EFFECTS @illeffectspod]

Just had to appeal our Cuties episode on YouTube for inciting violence and encouraging conspiracy theories. I'm not sure that was the pitch of the episode. 🙄

@AllyFogg The days when the far right had been defeated once and for all because Nick Griffin looked like a twat on QT, Joey Barton was widely viewed to be a great proletarian philosopher, and Twitter was going to usher in an era of unprecedented global peace and democracy. Weird times.

This is as upsetting to us as it is to you, but to understand the modern American right then you also need to understand the last 40 years of pro wrestling.

[ILL EFFECTS @illeffectspod]

We explore that history in this episode.

Excited to announce two related publications from the latest issue of MOVIE! 1) My interview with Richard Dyer about aesthetics and textual analysis; 2) an audiovisual essay of sorts, inspired by one strand of our conversation, 'Reading With the Grain'. Extract here, links below.
