This week in the Deconstruction Zone, Dr. Shannon Sindorf is here with a grab bag of digital community-related topics: The Gaze, The Glance, meme/gif culture, performative distaste, and more. What does our social media culture say about who we are as a people? Are we being dumbed down? And we invoke Wheaton's Law!
