With insights from the team at Paralives Studio and Gamerella, our first panel “Queering Game Design” covers how developers can subvert heteronormativity, gender roles, bio-essentialism and more through the art and mechanics of their games.

In our second panel "Femininity and Gaming," the local streamer Pink Umbrella, Gamerella and Paralives Studio, will explore the different ways that the gaming community treats femininity, how it has evolved and where things still need to be improved. They will touch on the often sexualized or negative depiction of women and queer characters, the dismissal of game genres that are gendered feminine and the treatment of femme presenting streamers and gamers.

Attend the both panels virtually! The link will be share the week prior.
