Another Black History Month has come and gone but you wouldn’t know it from Bobdunga or Pelvic Gamer. They used to be all about Black History Month. What happened?
Fortunately, Gayming Magazine, the virtual periodical for homosexuals who just happen to play video games came through with the goods. Ten “women of colour” who YOU should know. You personally. Let’s see how many of them are actually gay.
1. Tanya Depass. Oh my fucking god. Super gay. Just look at her picture. Come on.
She’s the founder and director of something called I Need Diverse Games. What is that? I have no idea. It seems to be a blog? I guess. It has about 7,000 hits on Google, which seems low to me.
She also designed a tabletop RPG called Mother Lands. The website says, “Journey into a brighter, blacker future with Into the Mother lands, a brand-new sci-fi odyssey role-playing game, developed by a fantastic team of POC RPG designers.”
This is fucking pathetic. Has this woman achieved anything in her life other than being gay and black? And what she’s doing is so trivial. Video game shit. If she was working on racial equality or something, that might be worthwhile but…video game shit. Who cares?
2. Jay Ann Lopez. CEO of Black Girl Gamers. What the fuck is this?
The website is WAY too convoluted but if you can figure out how to navigate it, it says that it’s “A multi-platform and inclusive community powered organisation that keeps over 8000+ black women gamers safe online.”
So my original question remains. What the fuck is this?
I don’t know. It’s something for lesbians with no lives to occupy their time with. By the way, she’s also gay. This thing that she does has something to do with LQBTQA+++. Plus, she has a man’s name.
3. Keisha Howard. Founder of Sugar Gamers. I’m guessing that this will be some more nebulous bullshit.
I don’t know. It’s just a website where they have articles on nerd culture, probably stolen from elsewhere.

Her pinned tweet is about mental health. That seems to be a real obsession with these gamer grrls. It’s also a real obsession of self-absorbed people generally.
Is she a lesbian? I’m thinking yes. I see a picture of her cat on Twitter. She has a weird cosplay picture as her avatar. She really seems to be into video games. Yeah, all signs point to lesbianism.
4. Latoya Peterson
I’m thinking gay right away just from the picture but maybe she’s just a big woman. Not every big woman is gay. I should be more open-minded.
She’s somehow involved with something called Glow Up Games. Let’s check it out.
Well, here’s something that I can actually understand. It’s a company who makes mobile games and they’re targeting “POC” consumers.
So what games have they made? Ummm…that’s a little harder to figure out. Oh, here it is. I think there’s just one. It’s called Insecure. You play as an inner city rap star and “connect with your inner mirror bitch to hype yourself up by building rhymes and verses to express how you feel.”
Oh. Nothing offensive here. This isn’t just trading on offensive stereotypes at all.
It’s not on Google Play. How am I supposed to play this? I want to be an inner city rap star and do something with my inner bitch.
Oh. It’s only on the Apple store. “Coming soon” to Google Play, it says. Well, you just lost a review.
So is this woman gay? Well, her Twitter is full of stuff about feminism and she describes herself as a “goddess”. So the short answer is “yes.”
5. Amira Virgil. She developed a skin tone mod for The Sims that made your character different shades of brown. Then The Sims decided to give more skin tone options in the game, and it’s suggested that her mod was the catalyst for this.
That’s it. That’s all that she seems to have accomplished. Let me look her up. There has to be more than this.
Oh, she’s on Youtube. 100,000 subscribers.
https://www.youtube.com/xmiramira
She seems to have stopped making videos on a regular basis two or three years ago. At least. Her most recent video has 537 views.
She calls herself a “content creator” but good luck finding any of this content. Her website is…just confusing. And there’s no fucking link to Twitch or whatever. So…it’s just this dead Youtube channel. That’s what makes her one of the 10 black women in “gaming” who YOU should know.
Is she gay? Well, she does give her pronouns on Twitter. They’re “she” and “her” but…just the fact that she gave them makes me ask questions. Is this a man in a dress? Anyway, something isn’t right here.
6. Lady Pelvic. The star of the show. She’s the only one who doesn’t use her real name, but her real name is used in the description. It’s not a secret but I don’t think that she advertises this.
It just says that she has a Youtube channel. I already knew that much.
Is Pelvic Gamer gay? I always thought no but now I’m not so sure. She’s on this list, after all. And everybody so far has been gay. And the site is called “Gaymers” Something.
7. Catt Small. She’s an organiser of the Game Developers of Color Expo. Sounds like a good time.
I can’t find much information about this online. I’ll just assume that it’s a nerd convention for black “gamers”.
Now let’s see if we can figure out if she’s gay or not. Well, she gives her pronouns. She and her but, again, it raises questions. I can’t find anything else on her Twitter. It’s fucking re-tweets. So is she gay? I don’t know. But she’s definitely boring.
8. Momo Pixel. Definitely gay. Don’t even have to look this one up. Just look at that picture.
She created a game called Hair Nah about a black woman who doesn’t like it when people touch her hair. I’m not joking. This isn’t the comedy stylings of David Duke. This is a real game that a real black woman made. It’s just more trading on offensive stereotypes.
Even the title of the game is in Ebonics.
The Ku Klux Klan wishes that they could come up with stuff that’s this offensive.
Oh, it’s a free browser game. Let’s check it out.
The title screen has a white hand. That’s odd. The only human body part on this title screen is of a white person.
Oh. Then you click “start” and a black hand slaps away the white hand. This is absolutely shameful.
“Aeva loves to travel but is hesitant because people often invade her personal space by touching her hair without permission.”
Is this really a problem that black women have? I don’t think so. I mean, you look at her picture and she has completely ridiculous, over the top hair. This is clearly massive overuse of hair extensions. Maybe that’s the issue. Maybe if you don’t want people touching your hair, you can tone it down a little.
Then you get to choose your skin tone. It goes from sub-Saharan African to Bobdunga. If you’re any lighter than Bobdunga, forget it. This game does not represent you. What happened to diversity in gaming?
I’ll go with the darkest one, I guess. The darker the berry, the sweeter the juice. Am I right, fellas? It was actually my girlfriend who I got that racist comment from. She’s a dark-skinned woman. A “POC”, you might say.
Fucking hair styles. Come on. Get on with it. I’ll go with the short afro. This way people are unlikely to touch my hair.
Now I can go to Osaka, Havana, or Santa Monica Pier. Americans can go to Havana now? I thought that there was a long-time travel embargo.
Anyway, I’m going to Osaka. If you want to see some real racism, go to Asia.
Okay, so I need to use the mouse or arrow keys to swat hands away from my hair. There’s something about a “Nah! Meter”. Whatever that is. Let’s just get into it. I’ll figure it out.
Well, I totally destroyed the first level. You have to smack Caucasian people’s hands away because Caucasian people are constantly trying to touch your hair. And they make vaguely racist comments about it like, “It’s so fluffy” and “Is it attached to your head.”. And rather than just say, “Hey, please don’t touch my hair”, you have this violent reaction.
Also, the woman who made this clearly has hair extensions. That’s not her fucking hair. So it’s NOT attached to her head. That’s a reasonable question.
In level two, you’re in a moving car, looks like like a taxi or something, and there’s still a mob of white people trying to touch your hair. Where are they coming from? Why is there a mob of white people in this taxi?
After I beat level 2, which was no small task, I got a cut screen saying, “Oh, sis. You did it.”
I was out with my girlfriend recently and an Indian man handing out gym flyers or something on the street said, “Hey, sister. Can I speak to you for a moment?” She didn’t appreciate that. We walked away and then she said, “He lost points for calling me ‘sister.'” But she didn’t rage about it like a crazy person or slap his hand away.
By the way, this game is a lot more difficult if you use the keyboard.
Level 3 is airport security. So…even security is touching your hair. And you have to slap their hands away. Let’s see how well that works out in real life.
“Come through melanin. You better show out.” That’s the cut screen after level 3. What does it mean? I don’t know. I don’t speak Ebonics.
Now I’m on the plane. There are very few people on this flight but still you have a mob of white people trying to touch your hair.
What? Then it just says, “Welcome to Osaka. You win” and there’s a message saying that this is a real issue that black women experience and you should stop doing it.
Why does the game stop at Osaka? I wanted to see what happens in Osaka. Asian people are the league champions of racism. Let’s be honest. They hold contempt for black people, white people, other Asian people, fucking everybody.
Anyway, that game was pure trash. It was also easy as fuck. No challenge to be found here. And the fun factor was zero. Graphics were shit. Sound and music were shit. It was also extraordinarily racist and highlighting an issue that doesn’t even exist.
If you want to make a game about racism, pick a scenario that actually exists.
Oh yeah. And according to this woman’s Twitter, she’s not only gay, she’s also a giant fucking moron who barely speaks English.
9. Stephanie Ijoma
Oh baby. Here we go. She can smack me any time. She’s the founder of NNESAGA. Let’s look it up. It’s going to be some bullshit.
I have no idea what this is. I think it’s just this woman’s handle on various platforms. Youtube and Twitch and whatnot.
Oh. It’s an “e-sports platform”. Whatever that means. Here’s a picture of her on Channel 4 News with her breasts out.
https://twitter.com/nnesaga/status/1155546056102428675
What a gamer! She’s on the second biggest news platform in the country, she’s talking about video games, and she’s wearing half a dress. She’s also wearing a pound of makeup.
What message is this sending? Girls are watching this, they enjoy video games, and they think, “Oh, this is what female gamers have to do. They have to dress like prostitutes.”
Anyway, that’s one for the spank bank.
Is she a lesbian? Let’s hope not. I’m hoping that she’s single, straight, and sexually promiscuous.
No pronouns. Good. I’m not actually seeing ANY tweets by her, but she re-tweets shit CONSTANTLY, many, many, times a day, and it just looks like boring video game shit. So I’m just going to say that she’s not gay because I want a chance at those titties.
10. Brittney M Morris. She’s a novelist and “games narrative designer”.
Yeah, I don’t know. It seems that she wrote some books, works in the video game industry somehow, and she gives her pronouns (she/her). Good for her.
So those are ten gamers who just happen to be black and women who you should all know. None of them seemed to be doing anything particularly earth-shattering or even impactful in any small way but…this is the list. Happy Black History Month, everyone.
Let’s hope that we get some black women doing better stuff for next year. Stuff that matters. Stuff that’s going to make a difference in improving not just the lives of black people but society in general.
And I want bigger tits next year. I want porn star Maserati to come out of retirement and start streaming Minecraft. Or maybe make a game where you have to slap the hands away of people who are trying to touch your boobs.
Every single one of these “lesbian” women look like they would exclusively fuck white men if given a chance.
