A digital comic series co-designed by RMIT students, educators and violence prevention experts will challenge online disinformation and harmful narratives that particularly target young men.
The Adventures of Soy Boy and Friends follows a team of fictional characters as they navigate the challenges of university life, one algorithm and creditable source at a time.
The designs were created by RMIT graduate Millie Ovenden, from a series of engagements with male students and experts.
The first edition of the comic, coinciding with Respect at Uni Week, explores real students’ lived experience of the pressures that some young men feel when fake news becomes truth amongst their peers and in their classrooms.

“This project highlights how students, educators and researchers are still working together to challenge how we care for one another, and how campuses can be safe and respectful places where we all can thrive.”
