Ada: A Journal of Gender, New Media, and Technology, No. 15. https://doi.org/10.5399/uo/ada.2019.15.42325-0496https://hdl.handle.net/1794/267929 pagesThis is a work of fiction that addresses social media platforms and communication channels that are intimately entangled with contemporary movements related to empowerment, oppression, and sexual violence. We created a video that is composed solely of screen recordings from our protagonist’s computer and smart phone. Within a Canadian context and from the perspective of a graduate student, our narrative explores fear, ambivalence, identity, pressure, performance, and image management through the lens of the recent scandal that surrounded celebrity-comedian Aziz Ansari and the broader relationship to the #MeToo movement.enCreative Commons BY-NC-ND 4.0-USArticle
