Abstract

Roleplay is a game played on social media where individuals assume the persona of an artist and manage corresponding social media accounts. This activity involves building a social media identity, with many roleplayers attempting to do so optimally, even resorting to buying usernames at relatively high prices for survival. This research adopts a phenomenological approach, employing observational data collection techniques, and participant interviews, and explores the process of buying and selling usernames on Twitter.The results of this study reveal two primary methods for username transactions: manual searching through the platform's search bar using specific keywords and utilizing Autobase, a tool designed explicitly for buying and selling purposes. Beyond detailing the procedural aspects of username transactions, the research delves into the motives driving individuals to engage in roleplay. One enduring method in roleplaying is the acquisition of usernames, motivated by identity consistency and personal enjoyment. However, the significance of being a roleplayer extends beyond username acquisition. This study emphasizes that the existence of roleplayers is not solely measured by the quality of their usernames. Participants acknowledge that cultivating a positive character and image is equally crucial for their continued presence in the roleplay community.

Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis dinamika percakapan di media sosial X terkait stigma perawan tua dan peran gender dalam konteks pernikahan. Data dikumpulkan melalui analisis percakapan di media sosial X menjelang Hari Raya Idulfitri 2024, yang melibatkan unggahan dan komentar mengenai status lajang perempuan. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa stereotipe terhadap perempuan lajang, terutama mereka yang berusia di atas 30 tahun, diperdebatkan dengan intens. Peserta percakapan, khususnya perempuan, menggunakan pengalaman pribadi, sindiran, dan strategi defensif untuk melawan stigma sosial, seperti istilah perawan tua yang mereka redefinisi sebagai simbol kemandirian. Percakapan ini juga menunjukkan peran media sosial sebagai platform untuk mengkritik norma patriarki yang menuntut perempuan menikah pada usia tertentu. Kritik terhadap peran laki-laki yang tidak bertanggung jawab, seperti melalui istilah mokondo, menjadi topik sentral, mencerminkan pergeseran nilai sosial yang menekankan kebebasan individu. Temuan ini mengindikasikan bahwa media sosial X tidak hanya memperkuat stereotipe tetapi juga menciptakan ruang bagi perubahan sosial, memperkenalkan narasi progresif tentang peran gender dan kehidupan lajang perempuan. Penelitian ini memperlihatkan pentingnya solidaritas kolektif dan peran media sosial dalam mendobrak stigma serta membangun kesadaran gender yang lebih inklusif.
