Because You Need Diverse Games: .@cypheroftyr

SERIOUSLY LISTEN: @cypheroftyr had no idea we were posting about her today so keep it on the low. This truly lovely and revolutionary blerdgerl would never brag on herself the way others do, so in case you have no idea who she is, here’s what matters.

@cypheroftyr is a secret superhero. She has been Tweeting since 2008 and serves as a @GaymerX Diversity Liaison, EIC of @OutofTokensCast, and co-host at @ChromaticLifeFM. Her superpower is unity. She created #INeedDiverseGames as a simple and effective avenue to draw marginalized folks into the gaming spotlight and lovingly dismantle the hilarious stagnation that seeks to keep gaming culture frozen in time like some weird-ass eccentric billionaire in a cryo-coffin.

Q: How bad ass is that? A: ALL OF THE BADDEST & ALL OF THE ASSEST.

When we last tuned in, our shero found herself suddenly liberated from her soul-sucking income situation. Though by night she engages in her fight against tyranny and hate and boredom, she is, at present, still forced to support her food and shelter habit. Those secret lairs and mild-mannered workaday identities are not cheap to upkeep, yo. So we at Dark Matters beseech you: rush to the aid of our hero @cypheroftyr in this hour of seeming doom.

Help unchain her from that ever-menacing Kryptonite we know as rent and groceries and such so she has a minute to make #INeedDiverseGames a going concern. Join her fight for justice in gaming diversity. Our Shero’s Patreon: LOCATED RIGHT HERE
