Article analysis:
The article is generally reliable and trustworthy in its analysis of the two mobile dating applications, Tinder and Bumble, in terms of how gender is constructed through their profile creation tools. The authors use Erving Goffman and Lucille Alice Suchman’s studies to examine the affordances of the apps’ profile creation tools, which provides a solid foundation for their analysis. Furthermore, they provide detailed evidence for their claims and discuss implications for identity and design based on their findings.
The only potential bias in this article is that it focuses solely on two mobile dating applications – Tinder and Bumble – without considering other similar applications or platforms. This could lead to an incomplete understanding of how gender is constructed through digital communication tools in general. Additionally, there may be some unexplored counterarguments or missing points of consideration that could have been addressed in order to provide a more comprehensive analysis of the topic at hand.
