Yes, and let's also remember #YourSlipIsShowing, the Black women activists who predicted all of this first and received no credit.
"Before Gamergate, before the 2016 election, they launched a campaign against Twitter trolls masquerading as women of color... If only more people had paid attention."

I was sad about the contents of a message I got today, but now I'm just mad about it. Flabbergasted to say the least.

I have to say that @gdocexpo.com is one of the most well run and valuable games events I've ever seen. I never thought I would learn so much from an online conference and still feel able to network and meet such interesting folks. They just do it like no other! Learning and fun at it's finest.
Enjoying all things Game Devs of Color Expo? 🥳
Rep the event with some of our incredible merch, in collaboration with @theyetee.com!
Come pick up a shirt, poster, tote bag or enamel pin! 💚💙 Only available until 9/22!

Heading to my first gamescom soon and have been told by my dad to remind the folks of Cologne that Leon Draisaitl plays for Edmonton so that we make friends easily. I'm unsure of this tactic working, but I'll try it out on the most NHL aware looking person for him.
