@junpei_taguchi this is a valid question, and tbh I've been thinking about it since you tweeted it. But I think it has a lot to do with thinking of the historical and social context of the two, and I think that because of how different they are you can't really compare them. #COMM316

The Body Cam article resonated w/ me because it's for sure something I've discussed with my friends of color. A lot of us have decided to not watch videos of police brutality online as an act of self care, and to work to not be desensitized to the deaths of black bodies #COMM316

a lot of class discussion today compared racial preferences to sexual orientation, but it seems to me like we can’t really compare the two in that way because they operate on two completly historically different systems and hierarchies #COMM316

@sosaCOMM316F I totally agree! I think it has something to do with people having to acknowledge their own biases and internalized racism which is often really hard to accept #COMM316

This video is a great example of how media influencers use comedy as resistance, in both supporting a community and also in calling out things that are harmful to a community #COMM316

@descorci1 totally agree!!! Especially when you see youtubers and other influencers using their comedy videos to spread messages of resistance! #COMM316

[Natasha @nespinos2]

who have violent opinions but also those who are speaking out against marginalization? Does it work both ways? #COMM316

[Natasha @nespinos2]

this article reminds me of our reading from last class--what happens when youtube and other open platforms begin to censor (in a way) both creators...

@shuaveg especially when you think about how race and class form cultural niches online!

[Natasha @nespinos2]

intersectionality has become such a core part of academia that it’s so odd to me that some people argue against it #COMM316

i wonder how the conclusion of the study would change now that internet influencers are being welcomed by main stream media

[Natasha @nespinos2]

interested to see how Fullick’s research applies to today & the way millennials use tinder #COMM316

[Natasha @nespinos2]

@Elich_Comm316 I was thinking about this when reading the article too! I think it would def change the dynamic of the analysis, but not sure how?

[Natasha @nespinos2]

wonder what the data would look like had the author looked into the differences in gender representation through a racial lens #COMM316

[Natasha @nespinos2]

somehow I’m never surprised when we read articles about how tech is influenced by gender & racial bias #COMM316

[Natasha @nespinos2]

@commstudent316 I was thinking about this too as I watched!

[Natasha @nespinos2]

I feel like the social network is great @ highlighting the bro culture of silicon valley that negatively impacts women in tech #COMM316

[Natasha @nespinos2]

can we say that fb has changed due to our changes in cultural values or vice versa? #COMM316

[Natasha @nespinos2]

what does the way fb has evolved tell us about the way that our society has changed over time? #COMM316
