Abstract

The increasing number of controversial government policies in Indonesia has sparked reactions from the public, especially on social media platforms such as X. Interestingly, high ranking officials, including the president, use taboo words in public. This study aims to identify the types of taboo words used by netizens in their criticism of the government and seek the reasons behind their use, as well as how the public views the use of taboo words in political criticism. Using a qualitative approach, this study analyzed several tweets containing taboo words. The findings show that all six categories of taboo words proposed by Wardhaugh were found in the data, along with additional types, such as insults to intelligence. The use of taboo words is often motivated by strong emotions such as anger and disappointment, and in some cases, by the belief that certain officials deserve harsh criticism. Society's response was divided: some people saw it as a legitimate form of emotional expression and resistance, while others found it inappropriate, although many normalized it. Overall, this study concludes that taboo words serve as a powerful tool for expressing disappointment and anger and suggests that future research could examine similar expressions on other platforms or in different contexts.

Abstract

Film is an effective tool for inserting teachings and propaganda. Films always influence and shape society through the messages they convey. This research is a feminist study of Katara's character and her liberation from gender stereotypes in the film Avatar the Last Airbender Season 1, 2024. This research aims to see how Katara's character challenges the traditional gender norms that have long been established in society, as well as to examine how Katara's character develops in the film to the point of how she breaks free from these gender stereotypes. This research uses a qualitative descriptive approach. The data consists of conversations containing issues of patriarchy and gender stereotypes. The data sources are videos/films and conversation scripts within the film. Data collection was done through observation by repeatedly watching the film and then analysing it. The results show that Katara's character challenges gender norms by applying characteristics such as overcoming fear and embracing self-expression, defying the need for a handsome hero, embracing personal power and autonomy, and empowering brotherhood over romantic love. This is followed by Katara's character development, which eventually frees her from gender stereotypes, gains recognition from society, and creates equality for herself and future generations
