@izzyb00p Hi Izzy, in a society where almost anything can be modified or have a filter applied to it, I think this hashtag is a wonderful way to appreciate people’s natural beauty. People are always trying too hard to be perfect in today’s society, and forget what it’s like to be human.

@nabeel_kazi_737 Hi Nabeel, I think the idea of creative burnout is very important in a society where content creators make their living off of other people watching their content. It can be hard to create original content that their followers like, which creates stress and mental health issues.

#Nosedive explains how society could be if people were “rated” online based on everything they do daily. This perceives the type of environment social media creates, as everything an individual does is recorded and can be used against them at any time. #RutgersDCIM #Virtual90

@HawnBrett Hi Brett, the way this GamerGater continues to defend their thoughts about female gamers is hard to believe sometimes. When I’m playing games I often wonder if these people would be bold enough to say these type of things when they’re not being a computer screen.

[Jundy Lacuata @jun_dcim]

@milacloidt Hi Mila, I think this tweet shows how people are trying to justify their hate towards female gamers by saying it was “just a phase.” There definitely have been many implementations to make gaming spaces less toxic (muting chat and voice features), however hate continues to happen

I also wanted to use this video from YouTube as an example but I couldn’t find the user’s Twitter. https://t.co/p3pukWkHWm - it’s crazy how many males act and the things they say are often aggravating and “out of pocket” when there are females in their lobbies.

[Jundy Lacuata @jun_dcim]

This video from #WomenInGaming describes how #Gamergate has evolved over the years, and how many males perceive women as inferior in the world of gaming. Aggressive and violent misogyny makes some female gamers hesitant to even speak in chat due to.. #Virtual90 #RutgersDCIM (1/2)

[Jundy Lacuata @jun_dcim]

many male gamers becoming hostile upon finding out their teammate is a female. Personally, I have had some people in my games who actually say the quotes presented in the video. It is important that, even in a male dominated hobby, women are respected all the same. (2/2)

@HawnBrett Hey Brett, it's crazy to see how our veterans are treated after serving our nation - with many being homeless and receiving no compensation from the government. Hopefully there will be change and these veterans will be properly supported in the near future!

[Jundy Lacuata @jun_dcim]

@DCIMisabellaL Hi Isabella, I think this a great example of black communities being marginalized groups. As we continue to highlight the unfair treatment black people have been receiving, we hope that the public will see this and prompt changes within in our society.

state of foster care and how they treat transgender children. The transgender community is an example of a marginalized community, especially trans children. I want to bring up this thread https://t.co/GRQXdcu40M, as it also shows many important battles trans people are fighting.

A transgender lawyer is leading the ACLU's battle against people and systems that he says want to "eradicate" him.

This graphic with the #TransRight hashtag highlights how governments are trying to prohibit or limit gender-affirming care, which is judgment-free care catered towards understanding and appreciating an individual's gender. The image shows the current... #Virtual90 #RutgersDCIM

@LOISJEONG7 Hi Lois, this is a fantastic example of how a hashtag can bring people together. With everything the people of Ukraine are going through, showing them constant support can help keep their hopes up as the conflict unravels.

[Jundy Lacuata @jun_dcim]

@RachelChangRU Hi Rachel, #GlobalWarming has been a very relevant topic for many years, and I believe it will continue to remain relevant in years to come. I agree that spreading awareness to this hashtag can call for change in society, and possibly protect the Earth we live on. Great example!

[Jundy Lacuata @jun_dcim]

There are many accounts of women creating change in society, with tweets backing this hashtag. This is also a virtual community to allow women to highlight their successes as well as other women who have brought change in their respective communities.

[Jundy Lacuata @jun_dcim]

The #WomensHistoryMonth is a great example of Boyd's concept of persistence, and Parks' concept of virtual communities, as women empower each other - celebrating victories, achievements and contributions to society from all of the US's history. #Virtual90 #RutgersDCIM

[Jundy Lacuata @jun_dcim]

@RachelChangRU Hi Rachel, I think the idea of dating online has been catered so much towards younger people - Tinder, Bumble, Hinge, etc. This post definitely brings to attention that fruitful relationships can be found online, and it's quite refreshing to see that in our era of hookup culture.

[Jundy Lacuata @jun_dcim]

@milacloidt Hi Mila, I find the tweet quite funny as well, since it shows that people find anytime in their days to get on dating apps and swipe, hoping to get a match. I think you also make a great point about people thinking it’s useless, especially when one doesn’t get any matches

[Jundy Lacuata @jun_dcim]

amongst the rest of the crowd and present themselves as desirable, since they were talking to multiple people at the same time, trying to find a bond amongst the crowd. (5/5)

[Jundy Lacuata @jun_dcim]

After reading "Liquid love," the article reminded me of #LoveIsBlind, a show where people try to find love without seeing each other, and can only see each other after agreeing to get married. (1/?) #Virtual90 #RutgersDCIM

[Jundy Lacuata @jun_dcim]

Deepti had gotten to know her partner, Shake, without seeing him, but after spending almost a month with him before marriage, she decided he wasn't the right guy. There is definitely self-commodification seen in this experiment, as the stars of the show had to stand out (4/?)
