Thirst Trap Glitch Gifs
Thirst Traps, like Gretchen’s Glitch GIFs, are about thinly disguised misdirection. The GQ defines a Thirst Trap as "the act of disingenuously posting sexy photos-while suggesting the subject of the photo is something else entirely.”
Adopting the Thirst Trap form, Gretchen uses technical means to convert sexual attention into algorithmic infiltration.
As with Selife Feminism and Glitch Feminism, Thirst Trap Glitch GIFs are also a form of reappropriating sexuality and deploying it when, where, and how the artist sees fit.
