Abstract [en]
Digital rebellion is a design project that is meant to educate as well as criticize misogynistic content on the internet, with focus on the social media app TikTok. It is meant to engage in conversation surrounding feminism, toxic masculinity, misogyny, and social sustainability for users somewhat familiar with the context but accessible for individuals who might not be. TikTok is a feeding ground for unsolicited opinions, without a good foundation you can quickly get buried under them. Digital rebellion highlights feminist methods on the app with the purpose to combat problematic content with humor. How feminism as a movement has used humor and continue to use it to keep the fire burning for future generations.
