User talk:Mayxiii/Internet meme

I will be working on political communications using internet memes and writing about gender within internet meme culture. I am looking at adding two pages worth of content on gender in internet memes and using feminist theory on internet culture in shaping the gender section of the internet memes article. For political communications, summarizing the mainstream effects of internet memes through mass culture affiliation and consumptions. --Mayxiii (talk) 05:03, 22 March 2021 (UTC)

I think you mean sections not pages? But yes, adding political communication and gender are great additions. Kate Miltner has a journal article on LoL cats and gender that might be helpful, and Whitney Phillips and Ryan Milner have written about memes, gender, and politics. You will also want to add a citation for this (which I think you added a wikilink to but perhaps the sentence was in the existing article: "Internet memes spread online through influences such as popular culture." And for this you might unpack a bit more what that article found about these topics: "Academically, researchers model how they evolve and predict which memes will survive and spread throughout the Web.[5]". Otherwise you are headed in a good direction. Adrishaw (talk) 21:00, 22 March 2021 (UTC)

I will not be adding as much to political communications because I believe the existing page has enough about political meme spread. Instead, I will be focusing on the evolution and literary cues associated with memes. I will continue with the gender analyst of memes. --Mayxiii (talk) 19:17, 28 March 2021 (UTC)

Continuing with gender relations in memes, I will add more comparative properties. In social movements, I will be adding the BLM use of memes to promote reform. The evolution section will talk more about cultural resilience and the online literacy accompanied by memes.--Mayxiii (talk) 03:11, 29 March 2021 (UTC)

I will not add anything else about social movements and the comparative properties with the use of BLM unfortunately :(. Do I have to keep my image or can I take it out? Also in showcasing where these edits will go I will copy and paste the sections to my sandbox.

You can always continue editing after the semester ends if there was something you don't have time to add! You do not have to keep the image if you do not want to. And you have organized your sandbox clearly so I can tell where things are going in the exisitng article. 2601:43:102:5180:5125:BCF1:CFF6:7809 (talk) 14:19, 14 April 2021 (UTC)
