COMP3851 Project 1

Aakanksha Khandwaha, Abigail Gogan, Emily Smith

Social media has had a large impact on many subcultures, creating an echo chamber for people, for both good and bad. Here, we focus on how social media has exacerbated subcultures that promote negative ideologies, including incel forums, TERFs, and neo-nazism. We examine the three subcultures in depth, including their origins and how it evolved into what it has due to social media.
