WEEK 10-Online Harassment & Digital Citizenship

Social media isn't just a place for connection—it's also a space where power and conflict emerge. Online harassment takes many forms, including trolling, flaming, and cyberbullying. While digital citizenship is often associated with active participation, it also involves navigating these power dynamics and conflicts.

Who is most affected? Research and lectures highlight that women and gender-diverse individuals are frequently targeted by organized and strategic harassment—not just random acts of online cruelty (Lecture). In the UK student online culture, many perceive online harassment as "normal" or fear that reporting it could restrict free speech. As a result, they often tolerate it, despite its heavy toll on mental well-being (Haslop et al., 2021).

What can be done?

Legal measures, humor, community pressure, and awareness campaigns have been used to combat harassment (Lecture). In Australia, the Online Safety Act 2021 reflects government efforts to protect users.

Universities must take action. Research calls for stronger policies and educational programs to encourage students to report harassment and seek support (Haslop et al., 2021).

You need an example?

Game developer Zoe Quinn, alongside Alex Lifschitz, founded Crash Override, a support network for victims of online harassment (Rawlinson, 2015). After enduring severe threats during Gamergate, a controversial movement in the gaming community, Quinn lived in constant fear. She established Crash Override to raise awareness about digital abuse and provide practical tools for those facing online attacks. Many Gamergate victims, including Quinn, have pointed out that online harassment is often dismissed as less severe than real-world abuse, despite its serious psychological and social impact.

Crash Override goes beyond education by offering real-time crisis support, having successfully assisted law enforcement in preventing planned attacks and providing guidance to numerous victims. Gamergate itself marked a turning point for women in gaming, as it fueled doxxing and coordinated digital attacks, exposing the urgent need for better online protection. Many victims feel isolated, but support networks like Crash Override help them connect with others who understand their struggles, fostering a safer digital environment.

Despite the growing prevalence of online harassment, few organizations specialize in supporting victims of coordinated attacks, making initiatives like Crash Override invaluable. The group also highlights how technology, while often used as a weapon for abuse, can also be a powerful defense mechanism. By tracking abusive networks and collaborating with law enforcement, Crash Override showcases the potential of digital tools in combating online threats.

As harassment tactics become more sophisticated, there is an urgent need for law enforcement and legal systems to improve their understanding of cyber abuse. Crash Override’s work underscores the necessity of greater digital literacy within law enforcement to ensure better prevention and intervention strategies. Additionally, community support plays a crucial role, as collaboration among victims and advocates can empower individuals to stand against online harassment.

Online harassment isn’t just a digital issue—it has real consequences. The rise of cases like Gamergate highlights the need for stronger protections, better law enforcement responses, and community support. As digital citizens, we all share a responsibility to create safer online spaces by holding platforms accountable, reporting abuse, and supporting victims. Technology should be a tool for protection, not harm, and initiatives like Crash Override show that collective action can make a difference.

WEEK 9- 🎮 Exploring the World of Gaming Communities, Social Games & Live Streaming 🌍

Gaming has never been just about playing—it’s about connecting, sharing experiences, and shaping culture. In a fascinating lecture, Taylor Hardwick, PhD candidate at Swinburne, delves into the ever-evolving landscape of gaming communities, social gaming, and live streaming. The session highlights how gaming has grown from an individual pastime into a vast, interconnected network where technology, culture, and community intersect.

Hardwick takes us on a journey through the history of gaming, tracing its evolution from the early days of arcade machines to today’s complex online ecosystems. He emphasizes how gaming has moved beyond simple entertainment to become a social and cultural force, influencing the way people interact, build relationships, and even develop professional careers in esports and content creation.

A key focus of the lecture is the rise of gaming communities, where players no longer engage in games alone but rather as part of a larger collective. These communities are driven by shared knowledge, skills, and interests, creating a space where players learn from one another and build lasting connections. The conversation also touches on the impact of social gaming, where platforms like Facebook and Discord have transformed gaming into a shared experience, making it easier than ever for friends to connect and play together. Also, the gaming industry has historically been dominated by young male players, mostly white or East Asian. This dynamic has created barriers for other demographics, sparking discussions on inclusivity and diversity, which are now becoming key concerns in gaming communities.

However, as gaming communities grow more diverse, the industry is gradually embracing inclusivity. EA’s The Sims franchise is a strong example of this shift, as it has been at the forefront of LGBTQ+ representation in gaming for years.

The 2016 update that removed gender restrictions in The Sims 4 was a landmark moment (Lang, 2016). By allowing players to mix and match clothing, hairstyles, and physical traits freely, the game provided greater autonomy in character creation, aligning with real-world discussions on gender fluidity and representation. This move was widely celebrated by players and advocacy groups alike, reinforcing the game’s commitment to freedom of expression and player identity.

It’s interesting that The Sims has long been progressive in this area. From its original release in 2000, it allowed same-sex relationships and, with The Sims 3, introduced same-sex marriage—well before many real-world countries had legalized it (Parkinson, 2016). The fact that such features weren’t originally planned but evolved due to player feedback and cultural shifts shows how games can reflect and influence societal norms over time.

The evolution of The Sims in removing binary gender restrictions highlights a broader shift within gaming communities toward inclusivity and diversity. This change reflects how gaming is no longer just about entertainment but also a cultural space where societal values are expressed and challenged. Much like the concept of the "game scene," which encompasses diverse networks and social interactions that shape unique values and practices (Ruffino, 2020), The Sims demonstrates how player identity and representation have become central to game design. As the industry continues to evolve, embracing inclusivity not only enhances player experience but also reinforces gaming as a dynamic and ever-expanding cultural landscape.

WEEK 8-AUGMENTED REALITY FILTERS

The Psychological and Social Consequences of AR Beauty Filters

The proliferation of augmented reality (AR) beauty filters on platforms like Snapchat and Instagram has fundamentally reshaped beauty standards and self-perception in the digital age. As Barker (2020) demonstrates, Snapchat's face-altering "Lenses" - used by 186 million daily users - promote unrealistic ideals by effortlessly smoothing skin, reshaping facial features, and lightening skin tones. What began as playful entertainment in 2015 has evolved into what researchers term "Snapchat dysmorphia" (Barker, 2020; Miller, lecture), where users seek cosmetic procedures to resemble their filtered selves. These technologies disproportionately affect women and people of color by enforcing Eurocentric beauty norms, creating psychological distress when users compare their unfiltered appearances to digitally enhanced versions (Barker, 2020).

The mental health impacts are measurable: studies link filter use to increased body dysmorphia, anxiety, and depression, particularly among adolescents who internalize these unattainable standards (Barker, 2020). This phenomenon reflects broader societal issues - filters reinforce neoliberal ideals of self-optimization while enabling platforms to profit from users' insecurities (Miller, lecture). Despite their harmful effects, companies continue developing increasingly sophisticated filters, with Meta reporting 700 million monthly AR users across its platforms (Miller, lecture). The normalization of these technologies demands critical examination of how digital manipulation alters our collective understanding of beauty, identity, and self-worth.

Besides that, according to Ateq et al. (2024), growing evidence reveals that social media filters on platforms like Snapchat and Instagram are driving increased interest in cosmetic surgery, as users seek to resemble their digitally enhanced selfies. These apps provide built-in tools that artificially smooth skin, resize facial features, and alter bone structure, creating unrealistic beauty standards that distort self-perception. Studies demonstrate this phenomenon cross-culturally, with research in Saudi Arabia showing 5.8% of young adults underwent cosmetic procedures specifically to improve their selfie appearance, while 38% expressed desire to do so. Plastic surgeons worldwide now report patients bringing filtered photos as reference images - a trend termed "filter dysmorphia" - with experts warning these editing tools promote harmful beauty ideals. The normalization of perfected digital selves appears directly linked to rising cosmetic surgery demand among youth, raising significant concerns about mental health and body image disturbances in the social media age.

Conclusion: AR beauty filters promote unrealistic standards, harming mental health and fueling body dissatisfaction. Studies link them to rising dysmorphia, anxiety, and cosmetic surgery demands. While tech companies profit, users—especially women and marginalized groups—pay the price. We must push back by embracing real beauty, supporting unfiltered content, and demanding responsible design. True self-worth comes from authenticity, not digital perfection.

WEEK 7- The Unattainable Beauty Standards on Social Media: A Call for Awareness and Change

Social Media’s Hidden Costs: Who Gets Left Behind?

Social media platforms promise connection and creativity, but for marginalized communities, the reality is far more complicated. Research by Duffy & Meisner (2022) reveals that algorithms systematically reduce the visibility of content from creators of color, LGBTQ+ individuals, and people with disabilities. These groups often must self-censor or conform to narrow aesthetic standards just to be seen—a phenomenon Dr. Jonathan Mavroudis ties to algorithmic bias, where race, gender, and politics quietly shape what goes viral. For example, disabled activists frequently find their posts about accessibility buried under mainstream content, forcing them to perform unpaid aesthetic labor (Duffy & Meisner, 2022) to fit platform ideals.

The Dark Side of the "That Girl" Trend: Unrealistic Standards and Their Psychological Toll

The rise of the "That Girl" trend (Ocampo, 2022) on TikTok and Instagram has captivated millions with its aspirational portrayal of the "perfect" lifestyle—waking up at 5 AM, meditating, eating organic smoothie bowls, and maintaining a rigorous gym routine. Initially celebrated as a motivational movement, it has since faced backlash for promoting an unattainable standard of productivity and self-discipline. Critics argue that this trend ignores the complexities of real life, where factors like socioeconomic status, mental health, and physical ability make such routines impractical—or even harmful—for many.

What makes this trend particularly insidious is its psychological impact. Frequent exposure to these highly curated lifestyles has been linked to decreased self-esteem, particularly among young users who internalize the message that they are "not doing enough" (Ocampo, 2022). Psychology researchers are increasingly concerned about how social media fuels anxiety, depression, and body dysmorphia—especially when users compare their unfiltered lives to the polished, edited versions they see online. A study from Florida State University (Clark, 2022) found a direct correlation between engagement with edited images and heightened symptoms of anxiety and depression, suggesting that the pressure to conform to these ideals has measurable mental health consequences.

The Role of Influencers and the Illusion of Perfection

The problem is exacerbated by celebrities and influencers who perpetuate these standards while avoiding accountability. Kim Kardashian, for instance, has publicly dismissed responsibility for the beauty norms she promotes, despite her massive influence (Clark, 2022). This refusal to acknowledge the real-world impact of curated content highlights a broader issue: social media rewards unrealistic perfection while leaving users to deal with the emotional fallout.

For marginalized communities—such as people with disabilities—these standards are even more exclusionary. Many disabled creators have spoken out about the pressure to conform to ableist beauty norms, which often glorify able-bodied aesthetics while erasing diverse body types. Some, like the author cited in your research, have chosen to leave platforms like Instagram entirely to protect their mental health—a drastic but necessary measure in an environment that prioritizes appearance over authenticity.

The solution? Education and accountability. Teaching media literacy can help users recognize edited content, while regulations could force platforms to address algorithmic discrimination (Dr. Mavroudis). But change also starts with us: supporting marginalized creators, questioning "perfect" feeds, and demanding transparency. After all, social media should amplify voices—not erase them.

WEEK 6 - Slow Fashion: A Revolution, Not a Trend

According to Domingos et al. (2022), slow fashion is a movement that promotes sustainable consumption and reduces waste in the fashion industry. Unlike fast fashion, which prioritizes mass production and constant trend cycles, slow fashion values ethical practices, environmental responsibility, and long-lasting quality. Consumers today are becoming more conscious, shifting their purchasing decisions from style alone to sustainability and ethical responsibility—ensuring fair wages, supporting eco-friendly materials, and reducing fashion waste. Many are even willing to pay more for brands that align with these values.

In Vietnam, slow fashion is gaining recognition through various approaches, thrifting and second-hand stores have become a favorite shopping destination for Vietnamese youth (Dân Trí News, 2023) for various reasons, with the main factors being affordability and uniqueness—allowing shoppers to stand out without wearing the same styles as others. Despite being pre-used, these items ensure quality due to thorough selection and careful processing.

Additionally, Vietnam’s traditional tailoring culture, such as custom-made clothing in Hội An—a characteristic aspect of this ancient town—is another example of slow fashion. Many cultural researchers believe that the tailoring craft in Hội An is a unique trademark that brings economic benefits and preserves traditional and humanistic values. It provides job opportunities for thousands of direct and indirect workers, including tailors, silk farmers, and tour guides (Hanh, 2024).

At its core, slow fashion addresses both labor injustices and environmental issues. To evaluate whether a brand is truly sustainable, four key principles should be considered: no child labor, the use of environmentally friendly materials, ethical production processes, and fair wages for workers. As the conversation around slow fashion continues to grow, it’s clear that this is more than just a passing trend—it’s a necessary shift toward a better future for both people and the planet. 🌏💚

Week 5: What is Digital Citizenship? Hashtag Publics, Political Engagement and Activism

In today's lecture note, we learned that digital citizenship, it isn’t just about personal responsibility—it’s about collective action! Through platforms and social media, we see new ways of engaging in political and social movements, with hashtags playing a crucial role in shaping public discourse. Hashtag publics, like #MeToo, #ClimateChange, and #AusPol, act as digital rallying points, connecting individuals across borders, sparking conversations, and mobilizing action in real-time.

These evolving digital spaces are also transforming political engagement. While traditional institutions like political parties and unions have seen a decline in formal memberships, citizens are increasingly participating in ad hoc activism, petitions, and online advocacy. Platforms provide direct channels for discussion, fundraising, and even influencing election outcomes—just look at how social media shaped the 2016 US election, revealing both the professionalization and de-professionalization of political campaigning.

At its core, digital citizenship is about using technology actively, ethically, and purposefully—whether that means engaging in political discussions, amplifying voices through hashtags, or simply making informed digital choices. As we continue to navigate this ever-evolving digital landscape, let’s embrace our roles as engaged, empowered, and responsible digital citizens.

Once upon a time, being a digital citizen meant simply having internet access. but now? it’s about how we use it. how we engage. how we fight for visibility in spaces designed to both connect and control us.

💻 unidimensional approach → "Give people internet, problem solved!" except... access doesn’t equal participation.

🔥 multidimensional approach → greta thunberg using #FridaysForFuture to mobilize millions? that’s digital citizenship in action. ethical, informed, and empowering.

⚡ critical & radical approach → black lives matter activists exposing systemic racism, only to face shadowbanning? digital platforms don’t just host activism—they regulate it. who controls what we see? Who decides which voices are amplified or silenced?

And let’s talk about intersectionality. The internet isn’t a neutral space. algorithms favor some voices over others. Marginalized communities face more harassment, more suppression, more barriers. digital citizenship looks different depending on who you are.

So what’s the takeaway? digital citizenship isn’t just about scrolling—it’s about questioning. about advocating. about making sure our digital world is one where everyone gets to be heard.

📢 use your voice. challenge the system. stay loud.

Week 4: Digital Community and Fandom: Reality TV Case Study

In this week's lecture, we explore reality TV. Shall we?

Reality TV isn’t just a guilty pleasure—it’s a dynamic force shaping digital publics, sparking debates, and redefining how we engage with media and each other. From heated political discussions in #Auspol to vibrant community-building on Tumblr, and the ever-evolving relationship between reality stars and their audiences, we’ve seen how these digital spaces amplify voices, challenge norms, and keep us scrolling (sometimes for hours!).

While reality TV is paradoxically both beloved and loathed, one thing is clear: it generates conversations that extend far beyond the screen.

So, next time you catch yourself deep in a Twitter thread about Married At First Sight or debating the latest RuPaul’s Drag Race drama, remember—you’re not just watching TV. You’re part of a digital public, shaping culture one post at a time! 🚀✨

🌟 From Audience to Community Based on Deller (2020), Reality TV has evolved into a social experience where viewers don’t just watch—they participate. Whether it’s debating contestants’ choices, predicting plot twists, or creating viral memes, fans are now an integral part of the storytelling process. This engagement builds passionate communities around shows, increasing their popularity and longevity.

📱 Social Media: The Ultimate Reality TV Playground Platforms like Twitter and Instagram have transformed how we experience reality TV, making it a live, interactive event rather than just scheduled programming. The ability to comment, react, and even influence storylines in real time gives audiences a sense of power—whether through trending hashtags or direct interactions with reality stars. This immediacy fuels excitement and FOMO, keeping conversations alive long after an episode airs.

🤳 Reality Stars: More Than Just Contestants Today’s reality TV participants aren’t just TV personalities—they’re personal brands in the making. A strong social media presence can lead to endorsement deals, new career opportunities, and a dedicated fanbase. However, this also comes with challenges—constant scrutiny, pressure to stay relevant, and the risk of online backlash. In this new reality TV era, fame is just as much about digital strategy as it is about on-screen moments.

In a nutshell

Reality TV has become a multi-platform, interactive phenomenon, where fans, contestants, and networks are all part of an interconnected digital ecosystem. Social media has blurred the lines between TV and real life, turning every tweet, meme, and online debate into an extension of the show itself.

Week 3: Digital Community: Tumblr Case Study

Tumblr isn’t just a platform—it’s a whole vibe, the lecture this week taught me that. It is a playground of creativity, deep convos, and unfiltered self-expression. No boring algorithm shoving the same recycled posts at you—here, YOU run the show. Whether you’re diving into niche fandoms, sparking intellectual debates, or just vibing in your own little corner, Tumblr is where ideas flow, anonymity is respected, and communities actually feel like home✨💙.

Let’s not forget one of Tumblr’s biggest perks—anonymity. Byron et al. (2019) call it the ‘Anonymity Benefits,’ and honestly, they nailed it. Tumblr’s design lets users stay anonymous, which can be super freeing. No pressure to perform, no fear of being judged by people you know in real life—just pure, unfiltered self-expression.

For many, especially young people, this creates a safe space to explore their identities, share thoughts openly, and connect with like-minded communities without the weight of social expectations. Tumblr isn’t just a platform; it’s a digital sanctuary where you can be whoever you want to be. And that? That’s powerful. 💫

One of Tumblr’s coolest features? Hashtags! They’re not just for organizing content—they’re a way to showcase diversity. According to Reif et al. (2022) in their article “Love the Skin You’re In”, the hashtag #bodypositive has been used to build virtual communities that empower women to embrace their bodies and push back against societal norms. Sounds amazing, right? And it totally should be!

But here’s the catch—while the movement spreads a great message, the actual content doesn’t always reflect the full spectrum of women’s experiences. Most of the images still show conventionally attractive bodies that fit society’s beauty standards. So, in a way, #bodypositive can be both a challenge to norms and a reinforcement of them. Kinda ironic, huh? 🤔

We need more real diversity in the conversation. Let’s make body positivity actually positive for everyone. ✨
