Aprime Posted January 20, 2016 Report Posted January 20, 2016 We all know what rickrolling is. Millions of us have been rickrolled and have enjoyed Rickrolling unironically; though most of us did ironically, or at least pretended. The rickroll is/was a kind of postmodern "shared joke" that can be used to dissipate online social anxiety—at least inasfar as everyone "gets" it. But among whom is that implicit context shared, really? The truth, according to this insightful analysis over at Medium, is that rickrolling is highly problematic, especially in its dependence upon the semiotics of cisgendered discourse. Discuss. 2 Quote

Einstein Posted January 20, 2016 Report Posted January 20, 2016 I have a feeling, judging by what the link preview box in the bottom of my browser is showing, that you will all be thoroughly impressed by the analysis work being done over at Medium. Be sure to give them a nice big pat on the back. 1 Quote

devilslayersbane Posted January 20, 2016 Report Posted January 20, 2016 This topic is to obviously show how rick rolling hurts women, women of color, and especially trans women of color. I mean this is definitely a women's issue and should be put on the same level as cat calling, which, as we all know, perpetuates rape culture and patriarchy (which, while neither of these things have been proven with unbiased empirical data, we all know they exist). I mean, next we'll be putting men into camps because that's perfectly reasonable. I'm going to stop now because I get very heated with this topic. 0 Quote
