[school] Today in class a girl told me about how she was doing her capstone project on "girls of tumblr"
Pinkachu
Making sure I knew she wasn't doing her capstone on porn
BWAAAAAH!
the fuck does that mean?
Pinkachu
Girls who create new online personas on tumblr
Pinkachu
Is what she meant
BWAAAAAH!
huh okay I guess I can see that
fae bells
that'll be interesting
Pinkachu
I'm... not sure what to think of the whole thing
Pinkachu
Because part of me wants to be like
Pinkachu
"Do you know about the rp scene on Tumblr?"
Pinkachu
But another part of me is like
fae bells
she could have simply picked any site and disregarded gender entirely or looked for what types of personas girls and guys take
Pinkachu
"They know I'm into video games and am part of a gaming studio. They also know I'm into anime. I DON'T WANT TO GO FURTHER DOWN THIS RABBIT HOLE."
fae bells
so the tumblr thing is gonna be interesting
chrissy 🥀
ooo this might be interesting
fae bells
though how is she going to get any data?
Pinkachu
That's what I asked her
Pinkachu
And she didn't really give much of an answer
Pinkachu
I think she's going to try to do all the research herself, which is super ambitious
fae bells
this sort of thing is going to require interviews though and who's going to admit to that, even with confidentiality?
Pinkachu
Yeaaaaaaaaaaaah
fae bells
interesting idea, but she's better off just looking at online personas in general, not specficially on tumblr
