Gray, Kishonna L. "Intersecting oppressions and online communities: Examining the experiences of women of color in Xbox Live." Information, Communication & Society 15.3 (2012): 411-428.

This study explores the intersectional oppressions faced by women of color in the Xbox Live online gaming community, utilizing qualitative methods and an intersectional framework. It highlights how linguistic profiling, sexism, racism, nativism, and heterosexism impact these women, leading them to form their own gaming clans for support and segregation from the mainstream, white male-dominated gaming culture. The paper underscores the transfer of real-world inequalities into virtual gaming environments, exacerbated by anonymity and disinhibition.
