Hey Alexis!
Great post. I have yet to play it. I remember playing Trivia Crack in college . Now I’ll have to give it a try and see if they’ve improved the user’s experience. When reading your post about Netflix’s Trivia Quest it immediately reminded me of the Black Mirror interactive episode. Netflix has been playing with the idea of…[Read more]

Gabby! Great post!
You can absolutely see the shift in the academic culture surrounding social media engagement. The amount of things I’ve learned on social media apps is hilarious. I learn something new every day in fact. I love to see educators utilizing every tool accessible to them. If Tik Tok happens to be one of them then so be it. It…[Read more]

Hey Demi!
I was hoping someone would post about this wildly trending topic. I was a Try Guys fan when they first became popular but fell off as I grew older. It wasn’t until The Try Guys Scandal took the internet by storm that I noticed their content again. I had never even seen a Try Guys tik tok before this. They ended up on “Messy Tik Tik”…[Read more]

Great articles!
I would be completely lying if I said social media hasn’t consumed me in more ways than one. It’s interesting to see celebs such as Tom and even Kim Kardashian take a step back from social media to regain their humanity. We, as “normal” people forget that these apps are a lot for a person to take. And we aren’t even in the…[Read more]

Hi Andrew,
I was just going to ask how the retailer would offset the costs of reusable packaging and sure enough, you thought of that, too! I always feel extra guilty when I cannot recycle packaging from the grocery store or convenience stores.

Hi Alexis,

Hey Kirsten,
I always find it weird when big fashion companies make ethical mistakes, it involves children. I remember when H&M had that scandal with the monkey shirt being put on the black child, while the white children in the ads didn’t have any animal clothes. I think Balenciaga’s choice to include children with teddy bears wearing their latest BDSM line is very weird. It’s a cross mix of two worlds that shouldn’t be colliding: BDSM (and possibly sex) and small children.
I’ve been seeing tweets online claiming the fashion company is condoning pedophila and is secretly involved with a child-eating cult. I think social listening and seeing how best they can move forward while taking responsibility will be important for Balenciaga. They need to show they are not aligned with the abuse and mistreatment of children. Claiming to not know about the set designer’s choice to include actual court documents that are obviously shown in ads that have to be approved is a bad statement. Suing the set designer is a step in the right direction, but more needs to be done so children are put or portrayed in adult-themed situations. I will definitely be looking out to see what statement Balenciaga puts out next.
Hey Kirsten,
When I heard about the Balenciaga scandal, I couldn’t believe how something like that could happen when there are so many rounds of approval (or how it could even happen at all) for a launch like this – at least there should be.
Things spread so fast on the internet, especially when it involves a big-name designer brand that is already in the spotlight all the time and represented by the world’s biggest celebrities. I think a lot of the time, brands don’t address things fast enough because they have too many people involved, especially legal processes to make sure they’re not breaking any contracts or anything else that they need to protect themselves of. As a result, the responses from these brands always sound formulaic and inauthentic. Even so, I’m sure people will continue to support this brand and their atrociously expensive products!
