Since Glider Ink has a politics of no token characters, I don't want to make anyone black / asian just for the sake of it - it would be far more interesting (and educational) to have an episode where a hacker from abroad visits Glider - and is surprised by the lack of other ethnicities. | Since Glider Ink has a politics of no token characters, I don't want to make anyone black / asian just for the sake of it - it would be far more interesting (and educational) to have an episode where a hacker from abroad visits Glider - and is surprised by the lack of other ethnicities. | ||

+ | The second volume of this comic is going to tell stories from hackerspaces all over the world, including [Egypt](http://makerexpress.org/), [Iraq](https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/bilal/baghdad-community-hackerspace-workshops) [2](https://www.fastcompany.com/3030731/why-collecting-data-in-conflict-zones-is-invaluable-and-nearly-impossible?show_rev_content), [Kenya](http://ihub.co.ke/), [Sierra Leone](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hZ29t_6TS8w), [Colombia](http://makezine.com/2016/12/14/3d-printing-peace-aruba/) and Singapore. | ||

+ | As with feminism, Glider Ink is trying to show a variety of approaches. [Amanda](characters:main:amanda) may lead workshops for everybody, showing useful life hacks, repairing bicycles. [Cynic](characters:main:c_n1c) and [sh0dan](characters:secondary:sh0dan) may play with their expensive toys. [Robert](characters:main:robert) is working hard to support a family, and [Adam](characters:main:adam) carelessly spends all his time helping NGOs, somehow always afloat. |
