I read this article about Telegram channels in #Korea where women’s photos and private information were shared. Some fake sexual stories and #deepfakes were also posted. The police detained the boys who ran the channels. koreajoongangdaily.joins.com/news/2026-04...

What We Talk about When We Talk about Fanfiction | Eighteenth-Century Fiction
Using the popular adoption of “fanfiction” as it applies to eighteenth-century fiction, this essay calls for a closer attention to terminology from the established field of fan studies. By doing so, we may be able to better understand our own period’s relationship to creative output, the commercial print marketplace, and the making of celebrity.

A new paper shows that less than 2 months of exposure to Twitter’s algorithmic feed significantly shifts people’s political views to the right. Moving from chronological feed to the algorithmic feed also increases engagement. This is one of the most concerning papers I’ve read in awhile.
The political effects of X's feed algorithm

Feed algorithms are widely suspected to influence political attitudes. However, previous evidence from switching off the algorithm on Meta platforms found no political effects'. Here we present results from a 2023 field experiment on Elon Musk's platform X shedding light on this puzzle. We assigned active US-based users randomly to either an algorithmic or a chronological feed for 7 weeks, measuring political attitudes and online behaviour. Switching from a chronological to an algorithmic feed increased engagement and shifted political opinion towards more conservative positions, particularly regarding policy priorities, perceptions of criminal investigations into Donald Trump and views on the war in Ukraine. In contrast, switching from the algorithmic to the chronological feed had no comparable effects.
Neither switching the algorithm on nor switching it off significantly affected affective polarization or self-reported partisanship. To investigate the mechanism, we analysed users' feed content and behaviour. We found that the algorithm promotes conservative content and demotes posts by traditional media. Exposure to algorithmic content leads users to follow conservative political activist accounts, which they continue to follow even after switching off the algorithm, helping explain the asymmetry in effects. These results suggest that initial exposure to X's algorithm has persistent effects on users' current political attitudes and account-following behaviour, even in the absence of a detectable effect on partisanship.

I asked my university library to purchase this book after a colleague recommended it to me over a year ago, and I completely forgot about it because I never heard back... until a few days ago when I received notification that it had just arrived. Looking forward to reading it!

GOD a good piece about fic in a mainstream(ish) pub???? "How might we discuss fanfiction's influence on published fiction in a way that acknowledges that we get something out of fanfiction, and its related forms? Can we reach a healthier vision of the relationship between fiction and desire?"

Taking about boycotting, I want to bring back the issue to anime studies for a minute. Back in 2019, I was offered to review "The Anime Boom" (2017) by Michal Daliot-Bul and Nissim Otmazgin. On page xii, it reads: "The research for this book was generously funded by the Israel Science Foundation."

In college, I'd always walk past an unremarkable store in Beijing that sold a variety of trendy, but tacky, toys. That store has turned into Pop Mart, the $45-billion Chinese toy empire behind Labubu, the biggest global fad of 2025. This is my big story/pilgrimage trip to explain how they got here

I spend a lot of time talking about all the things historical games do wrong when representing (or, mostly, not representing) women in the past - for a change, here I wrote about some games which I think do something better and more interesting in their depictions of historical women & girls!

I have a new open access article out in Participations “Girlscape” themed issue! It was a lot of work to get it right but I’m so pleased with how it’s turned out and I can’t wait to read the other articles 🥰 www.participations.org/21-01-05-buc...
Finding the fangirlscape: understanding ‘fangirl’ as a gendered transfandom category. 
Abstract: Despite the field’s growth, a limited portion of audience studies work considers the way ‘fangirl’ categories create their own milieu distinct from ‘fandom’ or ‘girlhood’ individually. This entails the way particular media sites are designed for fangirls, an assumption of who these fans are and their beliefs, and a consideration for how we might best research these communities. This article theorises the ‘fangirl’, drawing on focus groups with pop music fans and TikTok videos sourced from participants to define and complicate the term. Beyond the
popular stereotype, ‘fangirl’ functions as a complicated, intense, and expansive identity. I argue that exploring the fangirl as a distinct category allows us to better tackle topics in
‘transfandom’ dynamics, gendered fandom, discourses of age within fandom, and nuances to the negotiation of fan stereotypes.
Keywords: Fangirl, Popular music, TikTok, Focus groups, Girlhood studies
