popular media

Social media platforms such as TikTok and YouTube have democratized fame & notoriety. Anyone can upload any content they wish, at anytime they please. Although this can be an incredibly freeing and cathartic experience for both creators and viwers, allowing both anyone to express themselves and create an audience, while simultaneously giving power to the consumer to choose they type of content they want to see. It also gives anonymous users with bad intent the ability to anonymously bully, harass, dox, or even virtue signal their way into getting anyone they wish “cancelled” i.e. de-platformed from their social media, and no longer be able to post.

This episode takes a look at a few creators, mainly Sevyn Satiiva & Stephanie Soo and how public perception has both given them immense opportunity, but that also comes with the downfalls of unwarranted hate by viewers. Let’s adventure down into the “Dark Side of Content Creation”, that is commonly brushed off by critics as "what you get for putting yourself out there" or "that's Showbiz baby”. There is a stark difference between critique and unwarranted threats and hate. Let’s explore it!

In this week's episode, we ask ourselves if the kids know how to critique the media they consume? What makes guilty pleasure "guilty" in 2020. What happens when our faves are revealed to be problematic? We talk murder reality tv, J. "K. for Karen" Rowling, and Brooklyn Nine Nine.

Do The Kids Know? is a series of conversations between friends, Prakash and Kristen, where we challenge our understanding of contemporary media, popular culture, and what it means to live as racialized millennials in KKKanada (That’s Canada spelled with three K’s) 

Our goal for this series is to have frank discussions about the stories and nuances missed by sensationalist media as well as to uncover the ways in which white supremacy, capitalism, and colonialism is shaping our movements and behaviours. 

Keep tuning in to be a part of the conversation… don’t be a kid who doesn’t know!
