i honestly think a neutral name like just 'gamer festival' or something, but like. cooler. and then the tagline of 'australia's leading festival for women in esports' as a tag-line, it would make everything feel a lot better. but this is still a good idea so i can't be too mad

Ugh do we have to wear the stupid flippy dresses?

I think breaking stigmas regarding the implications of such wording is important. Taking ownership and control of a title that has previously been used against women who represent within these industries can be empowering rather than segregational. I'm excited to see what AEL /1

Brings to the table with this overall and hopefully the exposure that this brings to the younger generation who might be seeking information or affirmation that careers and opportunities exist for them here - name aside /2

Regardless of a name it's about how it includes a minoriative part of society to give them a platform to bring equal representation into the works. *Goes to IEM and feels alien due to lack of women attending.* Breaking a stigma is incredibly enabling to those who feel disregarded

Yep, the article covers this point well, I believe :)
