Hey, it's me! I'm back! Ever wondered if I really speak French or if it was a con all along? 🫨

@CollectifMH gave me the wonderful opportunity to share my research with this Q&A: "How to avoid the racist trap of the Fantasy genre?"

It's on Twitch and it's tomorrow! Can't wait!

[Collectif Mauvaises Herbes @CollectifMH]

Last but not least, notre dernière invitée est @SaphDev, qui viendra nous présenter ses recherches sur le sujet "Comment éviter le piège raciste de la fantasy ?" On a hâte de l'écouter dimanche prochain à 18h50

Imagine performatively hiring someone to solve your organization's DEI problems, not empowering them or giving them adequate support to enact change while expecting them to work within existing white power structures, and then being surprised when they "underperform". 🤔

We all know it: diversity and proper representation in media are crucial for everyone to feel included and for children to develop a healthy relationship with their identity. But how do we start to diversify our game worlds, stories and characters? --

How do we add representation to our coursework, game jams, or solo projects? How do we avoid harmful stereotypes and unconscious bias from ruining our great efforts? --
