I’m very sorry what happened. I’ve been there and tbh the whole super-hero theme made me feel kinda impropriety.

But I hope that will not affect all the confs / meetups in the region.

I don't think it will negatively affect them. I do hope it sparks a dialogue on how to make events more inclusive, esp for int'l speakers
