Stop The Underrepresentation of Black People on MovieStarPlanet


Stop The Underrepresentation of Black People on MovieStarPlanet
The Issue
Throughout my time on MovieStarPlanet, I noticed many things wrong with the game. From glitches to lag, the problems continue. HOWEVER, one of the biggest problems I've seen with the game is the underrepresentation of the black community. Our culture is barely represented in the game. There are approximately 1,400 girl hairstyles with only a measly 12 that can be pinpointed as an African American hairstyle. This is a problem that we DEMAND is fixed. Black girls should feel welcomed and represented in the game, not forced to choose other styles that they would/could never wear in real life. We want to see braids, afros, & textured hair.
Also, Black History Month is coming in February (I have to tell the month since MSP must not know when it is since they ignore it's existence every year). The black MSP community is EXPECTING 2020 to be the first year in which we are acknowledged by MSP. Just as the LGBT community gets to see their culture represented all of June for Pride Month on MSP.
To the developers: Please educate yourself on the black community and the meaning of representation. I am more than happy to work with you on the hairstyles we would like to see. We not only want to be able to celebrate Black History Month on MSP, we also want many more hairstyles for BLACK PEOPLE. If you agree with the message I am trying to convey, please share on youtube, twitter, or whatever platform you use. Thanks. - Dwiana MSP
