The internet is endless. You are capable of finding literally just about anything on the internet, I mean you can even buy exotic animals for the right price on the right sites. Both of the podcasts I listened to for class focused heavily on Reddit, with some glimpses of instagram and twitter. I am pretty familiar with Reddit, I use it to find threads of new music and see tips on beat production/music production. People really seem to have their own different minds on Reddit and if you can find the right threads, they can be extremely helpful and interesting.
After listening to the podcasts, one was titled, "Turning Hate On The Internet". I found it interesting that there are people out there that are trying to better the internet and troll in the right way, by creating positive reinforcement and humor. One can imagine with the free roaming that Reddit allows, there is definitely some stuff that should not be there. Pages like "faggots" and other homophobic pages out there exist, where people bash others for being something they are not.
The other podcast I listened to was called "There Was An Attempt". For a little background, a comedian, by the name of AJ, posted a picture of himself and a white man with AJ's hands around this white man's neck. Everyone in the town then saw this and started calling him by the name of "AJ the Whitesboro Choker". He did this on purpose to replicated what had happened to his people year's before, and switched the roles on purpose. If people are offended now, shouldn't they be offended about what happened years ago?
