about gil
(they/them)
Gil does not take photos of themselves, or normally ask others to do it.
(The visible storage room at The Met is an exception.) Instead, they spend their time thinking about fandom, social media, and content moderation.
After reflecting on over a decade in fandom and receiving their sociology degree at the beginning of a global pandemic, Gil decided it was time to think more critically about the online fandom experience. Currently, their research is focused on content moderation as a mechanic of harassment, the rise of sex negativity amongst young fans, and internet fandom history. Gil is also in the process of writing their master’s thesis, so you can imagine how tired they are.
