Pax East 2014 Sexism in Gaming Panel
In April of 2014 I was able to participate in a Pax East panel on gender inequality in gaming.

Until this year, I had never attended a Penny Arcade Expo (PAX) before. But there I was at PAX East to participate in a panel on gender inequality in gaming.
I have to admit I wasn't expecting much I figured we'd get low attendance at best and at worst a room full of angry rape apologists. Instead we ended up with a packed room of around 500 people, men and women, excited to engage in dialogue about sexism and rape culture in gaming. It was heartwarming.
The gaming website Polygon did a write up of the discussion here and you can check out a video of the full panel discussion below… sadly (or maybe not?), I’m being blocked by a computer the whole time!
