what I want (well, one of many things)

[kaigou]

Recently I saw a news bit about an upcoming convention for, I think it was, women game-writers. There was, of course, the inevitable bit about how women don't need their own gaming convention, and leaving out the menz, and the usual. (Uh, maybe it was comics? Great, my mind's going and it's barely only 1pm.) I'm all for safe space, but now I want one in my industry. Someplace where I could post this, and know I'm talking to people who won't act like I'm seeing things, or practically pat me on the head with the patronizing, or tell me it's not a big deal (or that it doesn't bother them so naturally it shouldn't bother me) and I should get over it, or whatever. But since I can't find that locally, it's all y'all instead who get to share my pain. I mean, this shit really is insidious.



Note the icon titles. GEE, THANKS FOR CLEARING THAT UP FOR ME.

You got two out of three -- I'm actually a fullstack dev. But I'm fine with or without a bio, up to you.




...though if possible, to just repost this elsewhere, rather than link to here? I know it's findable if someone really wanted to, but that doesn't mean I want to prop the door open. Hrm. Too many long days recently, brain not working.

I could repost as anonymous guestblog, if you prefer!

I just didn't want a link back to here, is all. But anonymous works fine, too. Thanks!

Thanks! It'll go up on the 11th. Sorry for the delay.

It's up

Here you go. A couple of folks have posted comments, in case you want to respond.
