Word Cloud

 By Vivi


In this post, I will talk about my observations on the image I attached below. This was created by Wordclouds.com, a Dutch Word Cloud generating site that allows you to produce attractive and informative images with ease. To create this, I have used an article by the Gurdian on anti-gender identity. 


From this word cloud, we can see that the repeated words are "gender", "anti-gender", and "ideology." This seems obvious since the whole theme is about anti-gender ideology. I found the word "feminist" interesting to see within the word cloud. According to the article, this is because the LGBTQ+ movement coincided with the feminist movement.
