Get Amr, Ayla, and Dante to GaymerX
Get the Deorbital crew to Gaymer X to talk about "Get Good" Culture within videogames!
Amr, Ayla, and Dante are writers who are a part of Deorbital , an online games journal focused on telling the stories of the lesser heard voices within the games community.
We're doing a panel at Gaymer X, a queer focused games convention, about the culture within games that treats competition and skill as a signifier of status and worth. Our panel would cover what "get good" culture is, and how it reflects philosophies within our society, such the ideas of meritocracy and bootstrap culture.
We're looking to fundraise money for plane tickets, housing and transportation before the week of September 25th so that we can book our flights and housing before the prices increase. The event is September 30th, but the sooner the better, as it becomes more expensive and more difficult the closer to the date you book.
We're calling on our community to help support us in our effort to create a more inclusive space within games, and every dollar recieved toward that effort is truly appreciated.
Thank you!
