Summary:
Generally when we name something, we delineate it, conferring the thing with characteristics and a definition. But that’s not always true of online movements. Their names have become familiar (#BlackLivesMatter, Bernie Bros, Gamergate, Men’s Rights Activists, etc.), though their borders are less clear. Because the barriers to acting in the name of a group - using a hashtag, writing an article, or reacting to others on social media - are low, coherent definitions of what a movement stands for can get muddied. "What's in a #Name?" is from the May 2016 issue of The New Republic.
