  • Understanding the Current State of Toxicity in Battlefield V
    “ROFL F*ck You”: Understanding the Current State of Toxicity in Battlefield V By Justin Juvrud Supervisor: Dr Susann Baez Ullberg 2020 Nr 99 2 Abstract: With the birth of “virtual worlds,” created a new space for social norms to evolve and change within a subset community. This thesis focuses on toxicity within the virtual world of EA DICE’s Battlefield V title. The goal of this research is to understand toxicity on a micro scale inside the world of Battlefield V from a gaming anthropological perspective. Along with understanding what toxicity looked like within the virtual world ofBattlefield V, the thesis obtained data for how the community and EA DICE employees perceived toxicity. This research has components of interviews with these members of the communities/staff as well as a netnography of the virtual world of Battlefield V gameplay. Findings and analysis were categorized under the themes of toxic language, power/freedom, virtual world creation, and gender toxicity. Battlefield V toxicity is ever evolving and shaped by player techne (player actions). Player chat consumes the majority of toxicity and therefore diving into toxic language was vital. Understanding the player perspective of power and freedom while gaming was just the first step as the thesis also dove into the developer’s perspective and analyzed the interviews with the backbone of Malaby’s (2009) contingency concepts to see how the developers have a large role to play when it comes to toxicity in games, even if they may not realize it. Just as in the “real world” the virtual world of Battlefield V also had a major theme of gender discrimination winessed and discussed via both community members and staff members of EA DICE.

Discourses of Resistance and Containment in Women’s Use of Male Homoerotic Media Doctor of Philosophy, 2019 Nicole Cormier, Clinical Psychology, Ryerson University Very little academic work to date has investigated women’s use of male homoerotic media (for notable exceptions, see Marks, 1996; McCutcheon & Bishop, 2015; Neville, 2015; Ramsay, 2017; Salmon & Symons, 2004). The purpose of this dissertation is to examine the potential role of male homoerotic media, including gay pornography, slash fiction, and Yaoi, in facilitating women’s sexual desire, fantasy, and subjectivity – and the ways in which this expansion is circumscribed by dominant discourses regulating women’s gendered and sexual subjectivities.

In 1983, she co-founded ‘Til Tuesday, a new-wave band that found success with its first album, Voices Carry. The title track became an MTV favorite, winning the MTV Video Music Award for Best New Artist, propelling Mann and the band into the spotlight. After releasing three albums with the group, she broke up the band and embarked on a solo career. Her first solo album, Whatever, was a more introspective, folk-tinged effort than ‘Til Tuesday’s albums, and received uniformly positive reviews upon its release in the summer of 1993. Mann’s song “Save Me” from the soundtrack to the Paul Thomas Anderson film Magnolia was nominated for an Academy® Award and a Grammy®.

  • HOW MAGNOLIA GOT ITS NAME O
    o HOW MAGNOLIA GOT ITS NAME o By Bob Kildall As legend has it, native madronas dotted the bluffs seafaring explorers observed as they passed this place we call Magnolia before it had a name. Supposedly an explorer mistook those trees for magnolias and Magnolia Bluff was born. The mistake is understandable. Both the magnolia and madrona trees are broadleaf evergreens. They are of comparable size, with large leathery leaves that are alike in shape and have a brown- to rust-colored undercoat. The tree canopies look similar as well, especially in the early stages of a madrona’s growth.1, 2 But who chose the name for our community—and when did this occur? Interestingly, the answers are uncertain and have been debated for many years. Aleua L. Frare mentioned several possibilities in her 1975 Magnolia history book: “The Magnolia area was first recognized when an early explorer of Puget Sound looked up at the high promontory emerging in the early morning fog, saw the huge madrona trees leaning down from the 300-ft. yellow cliffs, and made a black mark on his chart. Down in his dimly lit cabin he entered ‘Magnolia Bluff’ in his log. “Historians have had a field-day ever since guessing who had the bad eyesight. Some say [Capt. George] Vancouver, who named everything in sight. Others say Lt. Charles Wilkes, who named West Point and fifty other landmarks. And then there was Dr. George Davidson, a botanist with a United States Coast & Geodetic Survey team—badly in need of glasses.” 3 In Brandt Morgan’s 1979 book Enjoying Seattle’s Parks, Morgan attributed the mistake to Davidson: “Magnolia is actually a misnomer.

If you have any passion at all for bluegrass or old timey music then this will be (hands down) your album of the year. Loudon Wainwright is an artist I have long admired since I heard a song called “Samson and the Warden” (a wonderfully witty tale of a guy who doesn’t mind being in gaol so long as the warden doesn’t cut his hair) on an ABC radio show called “Room to Move” many years ago. A few years later he had his one and only “hit” with the novelty “Dead Skunk”. Now Loudon pundits will compare the instrumentation on this album with that on that song, and if a real pundit with that of his “The Swimming Song”. The backing is restrained. Banjo (Poole’s own instrument of choice), with guitar, some great mandolin (from Chris Thile) some fiddle (multi instrumentalist David Mansfield), some piano and harmonica and on a couple of tracks some horns. Now, Charlie Poole to the uninitiated was a major star in the very early days of country music. He is said to have pursued a musical career so he wouldn’t have to work and at the same time he could ensure his primary source of income, bootleg liquor, was properly distilled. He was no writer and adapted songs he had heard to his style.

  • Magnolia Grandiflora 'Little Gem'
    Fact Sheet ST-375 October 1994 Magnolia grandiflora ‘Little Gem’ ‘Little Gem’ Southern Magnolia1 Edward F. Gilman and Dennis G. Watson2 INTRODUCTION This cultivar of Southern Magnolia has a compact, upright growth habit more typical of a multistemmed shrub than a single-trunked tree (Fig. 1). It grows at a slow rate to a height of perhaps 30 to 35 feet with an 8 to 12-foot spread and flowers at two or three years old. It is surprising to see a Magnolia flower when it is only three or four feet tall. ‘Little Gem’ Southern Magnolia forms a dense, dark green oval or pyramidal shape, making it suited for screen or hedge planting. GENERAL INFORMATION Scientific name: Magnolia grandiflora ‘Little Gem’ Pronunciation: mag-NO-lee-uh gran-dih-FLOR-uh Common name(s): ‘Little Gem’ Southern Magnolia Family: Magnoliaceae USDA hardiness zones: 7 through 10A (Fig. 2) Origin: native to North America Uses: container or above-ground planter; espalier; wide tree lawns (>6 feet wide); medium-sized tree lawns (4-6 feet wide); recommended for buffer strips around parking lots or for median strip plantings in the highway; near a deck or patio; screen; narrow tree lawns (3-4 feet wide); specimen; residential street tree; no proven urban tolerance Availability: somewhat available, may have to go out of the region to find the tree Figure 1. Young ‘Little Gem’ Southern Magnolia. DESCRIPTION Height: 20 to 40 feet Spread: 8 to 12 feet 1.

  • A Fiction-Based Religion Within the Harry Potter Fandom
    Religions 2014, 5, 219–267; doi:10.3390/rel5010219 OPEN ACCESS religions ISSN 2077-1444 www.mdpi.com/journal/religions Article ‘Snapewives’ and ‘Snapeism’: A Fiction-Based Religion within the Harry Potter Fandom Zoe Alderton Independent scholar; E-Mail: [email protected] Received: 18 December 2013; in revised form: 6 February 2014 / Accepted: 11 February 2014 / Published: 3 March 2014 Abstract: The book and film franchise of Harry Potter has inspired a monumental fandom community with a veracious output of fanfiction and general musings on the text and the vivid universe contained therein. A significant portion of these texts deal with Professor Severus Snape, the stern Potions Master with ambiguous ethics and loyalties. This paper explores a small community of Snape fans who have gone beyond a narrative retelling of the character as constrained by the work of Joanne Katherine Rowling. The ‘Snapewives’ or ‘Snapists’ are women who channel Snape, are engaged in romantic relationships with him, and see him as a vital guide for their daily lives. In this context, Snape is viewed as more than a mere fictional creation. He is seen as a being that extends beyond the Harry Potter texts with Rowling perceived as a flawed interpreter of his supra-textual essence. While a Snape religion may be seen as the extreme end of the Harry Potter fandom, I argue that religions of this nature are not uncommon, unreasonable, or unprecedented. Popular films are a mechanism for communal bonding, individual identity building, and often contain their own metaphysical discourses. Here, I plan to outline the manner in which these elements resolve within extreme Snape fandom so as to propose a nuanced model for the analysis of fandom-inspired religion without the use of unwarranted veracity claims.
