The pooner in question:
The invented people were:
- Susan Banks - A “Deaf, Muslim, queer, disabled, gamer nerd”
- "Her various jobs included being a professional model, an asset manager at a financial firm, and a professor of Deaf Studies at Gallaudet University, the leading university for Deaf and hard-of-hearing individuals in the United States, all before the age of 30"
- Susan was killed off because people caught on, so Coty said she dropped a kitchen mixer on her foot, resulting in both feet having to be amputated, and then she died of a stroke
- The International Game Developers Association (IGDA) named an award after her
- Tubi Hamid - A games accessibility advocate and deaf person of color
- This person was nominated for "Best Journalism" at the Game Accessibility Conference in 2021
- Disappeared one day after deactivating her accounts
- Damaris ‘Deb’ Burrell-Vaughan - A deaf black therapist and "co-founder" of the Game Content Triggers Database
- "Deb's" reaction to Spider-Man 2 got the attention of Insomniac Games and was invited to be a writer for Medium's "Crossplay"
- "Her posts extensively explore topics like mental health themes in games, racism, the disabled experience as a Deaf person of color, and more recently, experiencing life while receiving intense cancer treatments for stage IIIB colorectal cancer."
