Queer digital culture looks at the ways digital media motivates contemporary modes of gender and sexual expression, and how these expressions produce cultural knowledge disseminated throughout Web 2.0. Building off of Ramzi Fawaz's work on queer and feminist aesthetic formations in his 2022 book Queer Forms, I analyze queer forms of digital content that influence other queer forms throughout this virtual space. I examine these queer forms through social media sites that offer a unique set of platform-specific design features, or affordances. These affordances, I argue, allow queer users and creators to experiment, play, and imagine queer forms of visuality that exists against dominant culture. Through remixing popular media (altering images and audiovisual content), fashion (makeup and presentation), and humor these creators develop queer forms of meaning making, also referred to as counterknowledge. Queer digital culture operates against elite culture and cisheterosexist digital forms of knowledge production that pervade the social media landscape. Further inspired by Donna Haraway, Lauren Berlant, and Michael Warner I understand these queer forms as examples of situated knowledges that help form queer digital counterpublics in niche queer online communities hidden within mainstream social media platforms.In Chapter One, I analyze queer memes on Instagram, particularly focusing on humor as a source of queer community building-from meme pages like dyingbutfine, manicpixiememequeen, and missladysalad. The ability to memeify (make a meme out of any cultural object), influences the way we interpret and interact with contemporary media and culture, demonstrating how queer digital culture motivates newer forms of humor and knowledge production. Chapter Two focuses on YouTube video essays as a queer form that deconstructs cisheteronormative logic and visual media that endorses antiqueerness. I analyze the formal elements of a YouTube video essay to show how this form of digital media generates queer visual modes of knowledge production. Chapter Three focuses on TikTok and how short-length videos (videos that are predominately 15-60 seconds long) inspire queer aesthetic formations on the platform. I primarily focus on #bimbotok to analyze the ways creators develop a queer aesthetic sensibility through a combination of fashion, humor, and hashtags while fighting against conservative trolls dominating the platform. Finally, I illustrate how these queer forms reflect upon digital media history, meaning that these queer forms are shapeshifting and will change as digital culture also changes. They capture a moment in queer history where digital media produces art objects that provide counterknowledge through their visual form. In this way, these queer forms are similar to other queer aesthetic formations produced through the culture that motivates their creation. Queer digital culture draws patterns of queer aesthetic formations throughout social media, providing alternative modes of seeing gender and sexuality against cisheterosexist fields of vision. These patterns expand upon ideas of queer liberation, rather than limiting them. Looking at these forms of contemporary digital media through a queer and feminist lens of aesthetic judgment and visuality, I aim to show that queer digital culture is just as worthy of scholarly investment as prior forms of queer art before Web 2.0.
