Video game consultancy organization, Black Girl Gamers, threatened to take legal action against That Park Place following a report that it appears the company discriminates in their hiring practices.

In an article titled “Forspoken Consultant Black Girl Gamers Appears To Discriminate In Their Hiring Practices While Claiming They Are Being Harassed,” it was posited that it appeared that the organization was discriminating in their hiring practices based off a post the organization made on X that read, “Looking for Black Women Content Creators that make Dungeons & Dragons (DND) content for some potential brand work! Hit us up!”

The post was also shared in an article titled “Children’s BBC Host Jules Hardy Calls For ‘Final Purge’ Of Gamers After Boycott List Created For Consultants Black Girl Gamers.”

Following the publication of these two articles, Black Girl Gamers took to X to threaten legal action against That Park Place. The organization wrote, “We’re addressing the recent allegations published on thatparkplace.com about discriminatory hiring practices within Black Girl Gamers. These claims are false and were made without prior fact-checking or verification from us or our representatives.”

“Black Girl Gamers operates as a contracting organization that collaborates with both freelancers and content creators from all backgrounds to work on various projects and initiatives to amplify underrepresented voices in gaming and make the community more inclusive,” the organization continued.

Next, they wrote, “Contrary to the allegations in the article, Black Girl Gamers has contracted freelancers of all races, genders, sexual orientations, religions, and ethnic backgrounds.”

“We have also included representation of all genders and backgrounds in our content, at our events, and in our marketing, consultation, and research projects, some of which are not publicly disclosed due to NDAs,” it posted.

The organization then claimed, “Evidence demonstrating our commitment to diversity and inclusion, including our non-discriminatory hiring practices, is readily available and easily searchable.”

“Upon discovering these false and defamatory allegations, we have taken steps to obtain legal counsel to take action against the publication and journalist, as well as subsequent content creators who have reshared the false allegations about our organization,” the company posted.

“We will continue to pursue further action against anyone who persists in spreading false and defamatory information about Black Girl Gamers, its founder, and its contractors and partners,” the organization stated.

“We value the talent and contributions of all our collaborators and we are committed to continuing to do so. Thank you to our community for the ongoing support,” the organization concluded.

Following the publication of this legal threat, former World of Warcraft Team Lead Mark Kern dug into Black Girl Gamers’ alleged hiring practices that are “readily available and easily searchable” and noted that he could not find a published hiring policy on their website. On top of that he shared that the company’s job board section of their website requires a password to access.

Kern wrote on X, “BGG goes on to state that evidence of their non-discriminatory hiring practices is ‘readily available and easily searchable.’ So I did some searches for BGG and “hiring policy” or “consultant” and was not able to find anything. In fact, the website has no published hiring policy that I could find. In fact, job posting listing are PASSWORD protected, and require that you first reach out to BGG to obtain access. This does not seem ‘easily searchable.’”
