So there's a new ism on the BBC "misogynoir"
Can you guess what it is?

Spoiler

Misogynoir... it's the combination of sexism and racism that affects black women in everyday life.

Jay-Ann Lopez set up the Black Girl Gamers to try to tackle misogynoir after she experienced a series of abusive messages while gaming. The community is a safe space online where women can connect and play together.

Jay is also a vocal influencer in the black community and is working to combat misogynoir in wider society.

She's been to meet the founder of Black Girl Festival, Paula Akpan, to talk about how prevalent misogynoir is and the ways it can be tackled.

So, basically, no one in the thread has the imagination or empathy to see how there are aspects of gaming culture (or culture in general) that might be more challenging if you are both female and black?

The gaming culture where you are represented by a cartoon avatars and made up names?

Nah tbh I think that's a pretty damn good leveler
