Panel: Can Allyship Confront Toxicity?
summary
Panelists name concrete steps and tradeoffs: public calling-out sparks change but risks backlash; events must adopt codes of conduct and enforce them; studios run anonymous DEI surveys and fold inclusion into yearly appraisals to measure progress; banning toxic players is a short fix so build reporting, education and moderation tools for long term protection; recruiting means interviewing diverse candidates, mentoring juniors and resisting token hires; create safe spaces and visible allies at shows so people can attend without fear.
