Most people you meet in industry are lovely, kind & talented individuals; becoming friends for life.
But, a very select few may take advantage of your kindness. These can be mentors, an overly friendly colleague, an industry veteran...

If you are a women in games please always be somewhat vigilant as you are still entering a male dominated industry. This is especially important to remember if you are new. Also, just because someone is in industry too doesn& #39;t instantly make them friends, or they *know* you.
like: "hey lets meet up and go for drinks i& #39;m x in industry". This doesn& #39;t instantly make it safe to meet them.
I know women who have been abused in games; this is a sad but true fact. Believe abuse survivors. "They were nice to me", doesn& #39;t cancel what they did to another.

I’ve witnessed women crying in bathrooms, males supplying women with so much drink they can’t walk, a women spiked at an industry party and countless more events which aren’t my stories to tell. This stuff HASN’T gone away.
Then main thing I can do is when a women in industry confides in me and says “this person did X to me” I fucking believe them. Thanks for listening.
