Intro / POV 1 A Tinderella Story One way that the introduction of technology and the internet into our lives has greatly effected human nature, is through the way it has impacted our romantic relationships. Like many things in the POINT OF 21st century, dating is yet another thing that has been converted into something highly marketable and instant. Instead of going into a bar and hoping to find at least one potential suitor, that you then have to build up enough courage to approach, you can now swipe through as many as you like from the comfort of your own sofa. The barrier of the screen makes the fear of rejection significantly reduce. No reply? Move on to the next, no problem. Nowadays, putting yourself ‘out there’ doesn’t mean getting dressed up and actually going outside to meet people.

Despite this, they still experience stigmatisation that affects their wellbeing, access to support, and participation in society. Queer women, in particular, face sexual stigmatisation and gender inequality. Social media platforms can facilitate social and political participation. However, platforms also bring together audiences with whom individuals may otherwise interact in separate contexts. In this thesis, I examine queer women’s participation and representation on contemporary social media platforms. I analyse how they negotiate these social conditions and, in turn, how platforms shape their activity.

  • Femininity?: Gendered Authenticity Policing in Influencer Hateblogs
    Forthcoming in New Media & Society (accepted 2.1.2021) “Fake” Femininity?: Gendered Authenticity Policing in Influencer Hateblogs Brooke Erin Duffy, Ph.D., Cornell University (US) Kate Miltner, Ph.D., University of Edinburgh (UK) Amanda Wahlstedt, Columbia University (US) Though social media influencers hold a coveted status in the popular imagination, their requisite career visibility opens them up to intensified public scrutiny and—more pointedly—networked hate and harassment. Key repositories of such critique are influencer “hateblogs”-- forums for anti-fandom often dismissed as frivolous gossip or, alternatively, denigrated as conduits for cyberbullying and misogyny. This paper draws upon an analysis of a women-dominated community of anti-fans, Get Off My Internets (GOMI), to show instead how influencer hateblogs are discursive sites of gendered authenticity policing. Findings reveal that GOMI participants wage patterned accusations of duplicity across three domains where women influencers seemingly “have it all”: career, relationships, and appearance. But while hatebloggers’ policing of “fake” femininity may purport to dismantle the artifice of social media self-enterprise, we contend that such expressions fail to advance progressive gender politics, as they target individual-level-- rather than structural--inequities. Introduction In March 2020, as the coronavirus pandemic began to upend societies, economies, and polities on a global scale, one social media personality was abruptly cast as the “internet’s best example of privilege in the age of Coronavirus”: Instagrammer Arielle Charnas (Pearl, 2020). Charnas—an American fashion influencer with more than 1.3 million followers—had become a target of online ire earlier that month after sharing content on her Instagram feed that made evident she had defied local shelter-in-place orders, fleeing the nation’s viral epicenter for the Hamptons—a known getaway destination for well-heeled New Yorkers.
