How does the reading relate to other discussions we’ve had about girls and media culture this term. lindaaafu https://padlet.com/lindaaafu/6mrboxlpgvsvwe9d/wish/1394453485 2021-04-08 05:47:10 UTC https://padlet.com/lindaaafu/6mrboxlpgvsvwe9d/wish/1394453485 lindaaafu https://padlet.com/lindaaafu/6mrboxlpgvsvwe9d/wish/1394453799 What attracted me most in the article was that TikTok platform effectively changed the original girl’s bedroom culture during the epidemic. As we learned from Week 5, bedroom culture can be explained a theory developed by sociologist Angela McRobbie that girls' social interaction can be done in the bedroom to avoid unnecessary criminal behaviour or harassment. But in practice, girls are trapped in the bedroom and not allowed out, but boys can. In this article, bedroom culture is a creative platform for girls. The backgrounds in most of TikTok's videos of girls are bedrooms, where they practice dancing, and create the girls' culture and their charm.
