CulturalPolitics.net Review
I found culturalpolitics.net to be a highly useful and interesting
website. Though as everyone seems to have mentioned, it is not the
prettiest of websites, but it is very straightforward and easy to
navigate. I will definitely be using this website for some new
television, movie, or comic suggestions. I already have a new show I
want to look up called “Bomb Girls,” which I found under the
AfterEllen.com link in the television section. I did wonder whether or
not video games should be added to the website. I see references to
video games in almost all forms of media and I definitely think they
have great importance in popular culture. Otherwise, this website seems
to be very comprehensive when it comes to pop culture and I’m excited to
explore it further.

Annie,
ReplyDeleteI definitely agree with your statement regarding adding video games to the website! Maybe in the future the publisher will consider, but gaming is a huge aspect of our popular culture today. Just recently Dragoncon was here in Atlanta and that is considered to be a huge event in the gaming community!
Indeed, I also agree that gaming should be included. Video games have come to play a rather huge role in pop culture.I have always found it incredibly interesting how video games are viewed by both those who actively plat them and those who condemn them.
ReplyDeleteI never thought about the layout of the website as I was reviewing it but I agree with your comment that it could look better. You are correct that it is easy to navigate but a better layout would be more user friendly.

ReplyDeleteI agree that the layout is not the prettiest of websites, however, I think this is what keeps a reader focuses. Rather than looking at all the decorations or being confused. This site is basic and easy to navigate on. The fact that it is a boring layout forces you to want to read the information in a way.
ReplyDeleteI think it's cool that you noticed the absence of video game analysis on the website. As someone who is constantly surrounded by people playing video games, and who analyze them gender-wise, I think it would make a great addition to the site to begin a discussion about how video games function in culture in all of the ways that they do.
ReplyDeleteI agree that the layout of the website was a little confusing. However, i will also be using this site in the future. It is nice to reference, even if it does need some polishing up.
