ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Guests Blyth Crawford and Florence Keen join Right Rising to give us a deep dive into Chan culture and the particular media – and memes – created by Chan users. Along with host Augusta Dell’Omo, Blyth and Florence explore the ambivalent relationship between mainstream social media and Chan sites and how that complicates de-platforming efforts. Breaking down the Black Lives Matter movement and the COVID-19 pandemic’s impact on Chan culture, Blyth and Florence explore how Chan platforms use humor to dispense racist and misogynistic messages.
