Abstract [en]

On a stage of ubiquitous online sexism, this contribution explores feminist tacticsof resistance with a focus on refusal. We move from feminist memes trading invintage imageries steeped in heterosexual parody to jamming in social media,such as when pornographic deepfakes of Taylor Swift were buried by alternativecontent by her fans. We land on absurdity as a tactic not confined by suchreactivity but allowing for turning things around and eschewing the logic onoffer instead. From genderqueer comedy to the X/Twitter account “Men WriteWomen,” absurdity helps craft spaces for affective relief and shared hilarity.
