Don’t Be Like He-Man
But for 24-year-old social media influencer Ari Kytsya, things were different on Monday, as she entered a lecture hall at the University of Washington to be not greeted by the faint buzzing sounds of TikTok audio or flashes from ring lights, but with ‘murmurs of academics, from 1,200 university students attending Psych 201. She, with her online presence spread across TikTok, Instagram, and other platforms like OnlyFans, had agreed to deliver a speech on human sexuality for a lesson unit by Dr. Nicole, a psychology teacher.
But for many students, the appearance represented an opportunity to examine the digital labor, sexual economics, and individual agency involved in an online presence that is discussed more than it is understood. But for many online viewers, it sparked something different: yet another chapter in America’s never-ending debate about sex work, influencers, and academic boundaries.
With 2.6 million followers on Instagram and five million on TikTok, Kytsya has based her online persona on comedy, lip-syncing, striking visuals, and complete transparency about cosmetic surgery. While she has shared information about her surgeries in a way that capitalizes on her appearance to build online success, she has also given followers compelling reasons to support her.
