FemmeFerocity is challenging esports' status quo
"If we had environments [in esports] where women could be mentored, where their feminine traits were embraced and encouraged, and they were given a competitive environment to play and learn at the highest levels, they would thrive in a way we've never seen before."
That's the vision of Jules Scott, the co-founder and performance coach of FemmeFerocity, an organisation aiming "to legitimize feminine personalities as equal competitors in esports." It's currently in the process of assembling a team to compete in the upcoming Heroes of the Storm Global Championship's Open Division. All genders are welcome to try out, but the goal is to end up with a "feminine-coded roster."
"Feminine" is an intentionally broad term. On Reddit, the team emphasised that it means that "FemmeFerocity is not female-exclusive. We want to champion femininity as a whole. Feminine-coded includes other people who exhibit primarily feminine traits."
