The Taste of Toxic Rhetoric within TikTok’s Cosplay Community by Amber Storm Murray Under the Direction of Ashley Holmes, PhD A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in the College of Arts and Sciences Georgia State University 2021 ABSTRACT The following thesis aims to illustrate how Enlightenment-era conceptions of taste as discussed in the writings of David Hume and Hugh Blair appear in the toxic rhetoric espoused by some members of the cosplay community on the social media platform TikTok. Through an analysis of a representative comment section, this study identifies how Hume’s idea of a “true judge” and Blair’s belief in the improvable and “correct” qualities of taste are utilized in an attempt to justify one of the most distasteful behaviors within today’s society – racism. In drawing these connections, this research illustrates a complex duality of taste and demonstrates how toxic comments use taste, albeit unintentionally, to support their arguments for why one thing is regarded as being better – or more tasteful – than another. INDEX WORDS: Taste, Rhetoric, Fandom, Toxic discourse, Social media, Enlightenment Copyright by Amber Storm Murray 2021 The Taste of Toxic Rhetoric within TikTok’s Cosplay Community by Amber Storm Murray Committee Chair: Ashley Holmes Committee: Michael Harker Ethan Tussey Electronic Version Approved: Office of Graduate Services College of Arts and Sciences Georgia State University August 2021 iv DEDICATION This thesis is especially dedicated to the family, friends, professors, and peers who have supported me through all of the ups and downs I experienced while in my M.A. program. Their encouragement and their (sometimes feigned) interest in my research motivated me to become the best student and scholar that I could be and gave me the confidence to complete this project. Without them, I would not be where I am today. v ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would first like to thank my thesis committee – Dr. Ashley Holmes, Dr. Michael Harker, and Dr. Ethan Tussey – for their never-ending support and advice throughout my writing process. They helped transform a self-indulgent project into a piece of academic writing that I feel has the potential to significantly impact discussions about the role of rhetorical devices across time. To my director, Dr. Ashley Holmes, you do not know how much your encouragement and kind words have kept me motivated throughout my writing process. I cannot adequately express my gratitude for your unwavering belief in my potential as a scholar and your enthusiasm about my project, even when parts of it were outside of your wheelhouse. To Dr. Michael Harker, thank you for your detailed commentary about Enlightenment rhetoric and taste. Without the suggestions and comments you gave, I doubt I would have been able to truly comprehend the nuances of this idea. To Dr. Ethan Tussey, thank you for agreeing to be on my committee even though I am not a member of the Film and Media department. Your expertise in fandom scholarship and your emphasis on methodology helped my project reach new heights. And to all of my committee, thank you for believing in and validating my scholarship in a manner that gave me the confidence and motivation to complete this project. In addition to those who have helped me complete this project, I would like to express my gratitude to Dr. Lynée Gaillet, Dr. Mary Hocks, Dr. George Pullman, and Dr. Elizabeth Lopez. The conversations and experiences I had while in your classes helped to broaden my horizons as a scholar and researcher within the field of Rhetoric and Composition. I so enjoyed being able to experience just how vast our discipline is through courses such as Archival Research Methods, History and Theory of Rhetoric, and Digital Rhetoric. vi Additionally, I would like to extend my thanks to the Directors and Assistant Directors of the Georgia State Writing Studio – Dr. Mary Hocks, Jessica Rose, and Stephanie Graves (2019- 2020) and Dr. Elizabeth Lopez, Nicole Turner, and Brittny Byrom (2020-2021). I so appreciated having the opportunity to expand my research into the field of Writing Center Studies, a discipline I had never before considered, and being able to establish friendships not only with my fellow English graduate students, but also with the vast range of tutees who visited the studio. Finally, I want to thank the friends and classmates I have had the pleasure of working with at GSU both in-person and virtually. It was your camaraderie and support that helped push me through every challenge I was met with. As I continue into my PhD, I look forward to continuing to work with some of you, and to those of us who go our separate ways, I cannot wait to see where this journey takes us. I know that the things we have learned here at GSU will carry us forward and continue to shape us both personally and professionally. vii TABLE OF CONTENTS ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS ........................................................................................................

  • Dr. Hugh Blair
    ; DR. HUGH BLAIR. This venerable clergyman was a lineal descendant from an antient family in the west of Scotland ; he was born on the 7th of April I71i5. The fortune of his father had been much impaired, but not so as to prevent him from giving his son a liberal education. After going through the usual course at the high school, Hugh Blair became a student at the university of Edinburgh, in October 1730. From the delicacy of his constitution he was unable to partake much in the sports of the boys, but preferred amusing himself in his solitary walks by repeating the poems of others, and sometimes attempting to make some of his own. When he became a student at the university, liis constitution grew more vigorous, and he could pursue both the amusements and the studies proper for his age. In all his classes he attracted attention, but in the logic class he was particularly distinguished and, while attending it, he composed an essay on the Beautiful, in wliich the bent of his genius first displayed itself, both to liimself and to others. In the year 1739, when the course of Mr. Blair's academical studies was nearly finished, he published a thesis, " De Fundamentis et Obligatione Legis Natures.^'' The discussion, though short, is able. After spending eleven years at the university in the study of literature, philosophy, and divinity, Mr. Blair was licensed to preach by the presbytery of Edinburgh, in 1741. In the pulpit his doctrines were sound and practical, and his language elegant : oue sermon of his in the west church was particularly noticed, it arrested the attention of a very numerous congregation.

  • MASCULINE REPRESENTATIONS in STAR WARS by NICOLE
    UNMASKING HEGEMONIC MASCULINITY: MASCULINE REPRESENTATIONS IN STAR WARS by NICOLE MARTINEZ B.A., University of Colorado Colorado Springs 2017 A thesis submitted to the Graduate Faculty of the University of Colorado Colorado Springs in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Department of Communication 2019 © 2019 NICOLE MARTINEZ ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii This thesis for the Master of Arts degree by Nicole Martinez has been approved for the Department of Communication by Christopher Bell, Chair K. Maja Krakowiak Katie Sullivan December 16, 2019 iii Martinez, Nicole (M.A. Communication) Unmasking Hegemonic Masculinity: Masculine Representations in Star Wars Thesis directed by Associate Professor Christopher Bell. ABSTRACT Star Wars has influenced generations of American viewers for decades but has gone largely unanalyzed when it comes to a critique of the discourses about masculinity presented in the films. This is problematic as media serves as an agent of socialization, and the representations of masculinity in the Star Wars franchise may influence viewers’ idealization of masculinity leading to real world consequences. The research questions being analyzed in this study are: Is hegemonic masculinity performed by central characters in Star Wars? If so, how is it reinforced, how is it challenged, and how do these change over time? This study uses a critical discourse analysis to analyze the character development of twenty central characters of the Star Wars franchise, how these characters are both challenged and aspire to fall into ideals of hegemonic masculinity, and how these ideals may shift over time. Keywords: Star Wars, Critical Discourse Analysis, Hegemonic Masculinity, Toxic Masculinity iv ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank all of the people in my life who made it possible for me to submit this thesis and pursue my Masters education.

  • The Merging of Civic Republicanism, Polite Culture, and Christianity in Hugh Blair’S Lectures on Rhetoric and Belles Lettres1
    THE MERGING OF CIVIC REPUBLICANISM, POLITE CULTURE, AND CHRISTIANITY IN HUGH BLAIR’S LECTURES ON RHETORIC AND BELLES LETTRES1 Arthur E. Walzer The focus of this paper is Lecture 34 of Hugh Blair’s Lectures on Rhetoric and Belles Lettres. Lecture 34 is the last of ten lectures devoted to what Blair calls “Public Speaking.”2 Th ese ten lectures on public speaking comprise Blair’s concentrated attention to the “rhetoric” part of his title, to distinguish this theme from the emphasis on taste and criticism that constitutes “belles lettres.” Th ese rhetoric lectures are an interesting instance in historical appropriation: Blair is deeply committed to classical rhetoric, which was central to his educational experience at Edinburgh. In his Lectures, he would appropriate the civic, republican rhetorical tradition to his own Enlightenment, Christian, Scottish, post-Union context. Th e challenges of this appropriation are considerable and come to a head in Lecture 34, “Means of Improving in Eloquence.” Th e lecture references Quintilian and argues that one can be an eff ective orator only if one is fi rst a good person; success in oratory and good character are reciprocal, so developing an appropri- ate, moral character is the best means to improving eloquence. But the character traits that Quintilian had in mind – those public, political, Aristocratic virtues of civic republicanism in its Roman context – are not particularly applicable to Blair’s polite, Christian, Scottish, demo- cratic context. Yet Blair is unwilling to abandon the civic republicanism of the rhetorical tradition. He seeks to combine it with the values of politeness so important to Enlightened Edinburgh – and also with the Christian values fundamental to Blair’s program.

Zawia DEAN OF THE GRADUATE SCHOOL UNIVERSITY OF RHODE ISLAND 2016 ABSTRACT This dissertation is an inquiry into the ways rhetoric, as the study of the art of language use, and literature, as the art of written language, were coherently theorized in Enlightenment Scotland to articulate the complex nature of language and its inherent relationship to the human mind and its faculties. The chapters contained in this manuscript dissertation are previously published studies in eighteenth-century Scottish rhetorical theory, examining the multiple and sometimes contradictory legacies of this important body of work on language pedagogy, philosophy of mind and language, and political theory.

  • Disney+ LEGO Star Wars Holiday Special Project Fact Sheet As of 10.26
    “The LEGO Star Wars Holiday Special” reunites Rey, Finn, Poe, Chewie, Rose and the droids for a joyous feast on Life Day, a holiday first introduced in the 1978 “Star Wars Holiday Special.” The new special from LEGO is the first to debut on Disney+ and continues the rich legacy of collaboration between Lucasfilm and LEGO— playful adventures told in the endearingly irreverent way that only LEGO Star Wars cobranded content can. Directly following the events of “Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker,” Rey leaves her friends to prepare for Life Day as she sets off on a new adventure with BB-8 to gain a deeper knowledge of the Force. At a mysterious Jedi Temple, she is hurled into a cross-timeline adventure through beloved moments in Star Wars cinematic history, coming into contact with Luke Skywalker, Darth Vader, Yoda, Obi-Wan and other iconic heroes and villains from all nine Skywalker saga films. But will she make it back in time for the Life Day feast and learn the true meaning of holiday spirit? The “LEGO Star Wars Holiday Special” premieres Tuesday, November 17, streaming only on Disney+.

  • Star Wars Twitter Analysis
    Star Wars Twitter analysis Bethany Lacina Associate Professor of Political Science, University of Rochester [email protected] This document accompanies an article I wrote for the Washington Post Mon- key Cage Blog in September 2018. I analyzed data from Star Wars fan Twitter and argued that (1) offensive language and hate speech have a modest but clear pres- ence, (2) abusive posts are not due to automated accounts (bots), and (3) posters use more profanity and slurs to talk about women and minorities and to talk to female fans. 1 Where the tweets come from 2 Measuring offensive language and hate speech 3 Is the backlash due to bots? 4 Monkey Cage results 5 Is Rose Tico just unpopular? 6 Extended results on offensive language 7 Why measuring harassment is difficult 1 Where the tweets come from The tweets I analyzed are from Twitter’s Historical Search Premium API.1 The API searches for tweets and presents them in reverse chronological order. By 1API stands for “application program interface.” An API is a URL that transmits unformatted data instead of transmitting a website with a graphical interface. 1 B. Lacina Star Wars Twitter contrast, a search on Twitter’s website provides results according to relevance. I conducted four searches for tweets in reverse chronological order from be- fore June 2, 2018 at 1700 GMT, about when Kelly Marie Tran quit Instagram. The four batches of tweets were: (1) results of a keyword search for Star Wars (SW) or The Last Jedi (TLJ); (2) results of a keyword search for Kelly Marie Tran or Rose Tico (the name of Tran’s TLJ character); (3) mentions and replies sent to male fan podcasters; (4) mentions and replies sent to female fan podcasters.
