FRI 1:00p.m.: Ignorance and Fandom in the Era of MeToo and Black Panther (45 mins.)

Room: DOGWOOD (2nd Floor, Left) Rated: Mature

Produced By: Unaffiliated Individuals

Social justice has become a common topic in fandom discussions. But have we made any progress? From Cosplay Is Not Consent to #MeToo, we'll look at how the discourse on harassment has become mainstream... and yet still lacks a comprehensive view. We'll also look at how representation has changed with works like Black Panther and Legend of Korra and how some companies are, unfortunately, taking a step back. Most importantly, we'll talk about where we need to go to be a safe, more welcoming community of fans.

Speaking: Hana Li; Kyatto; Vylette Vivacious; Helena Isis
