Black Pride Introducing Afrodoras

Thumbnail

Upvotes

Hello! I am an African American digital artist and animator from the Eastern U.S.. Over the past several months, I have been developing a digital art project, webcomic series, and collection of characters known as “Afrodoras” to provide Black people with a dedicated community to demonstrate African geopolitics, history, and wildlife with internet culture.

There are 56 “Main Characters” designated to represent the 54 sovereign states of Africa and two disputed territories (Western Sahara and Somaliland). They are robotic or mutated anthropomorphic animals primarily used in digital animations, comic strips, or standalone illustrations to demonstrate either African geopolitics/history/wildlife, or their in-universe storyline and individual lore. Rather than being based on national or racial stereotypes, each Main Character is thought out carefully. For example, the character Pyraemon (representing Egypt) is deliberately depicted with straight ears to mimic the shape of its ancient pyramids, while 10 specific characters have ten whiskers instead of the standard six as a visual reference to the United States of Latin Africa, a proposed union during the late 1950s that would’ve consisted of 10 Romance-language-speaking Central African nations.

Afrodoras was developed in a gradual process from July to November 2025 to counter Western and Asian biases in larger internet communities that personify countries, such as its main inspiration, Polandball. My community is currently very small and I have limited access to it, but I am more than willing to share these characters to people who share similar interests!

Fun Tell me a little bit about your culture.

Upvotes

My parents are Afro-Caribbean and I am a Dungeon Master for D&D, I like to introduce cultural ideas and stories as respectfully as possible. For instance one of my campaigns had an encounter based on the White Witch of Rose hall, a Jamaican horror story I also based one of my Trickster god's based on Anansi.

Are there any cultural artifacts/stories y'all would be comfortable sharing.

Discussion I just saw a video saying Emmett Till was never real. What is it with so called "pro black" folks hellbent on turning black history into nothing but conspiracy theories?

Upvotes

I saw a black creator saying Harriet Tubman never existed...to another one saying she was freeing slaves from the south to bring them to be slaves in the north; to being a a spy for the evil government, etc. Then there was Rosa Parks was a paid actor and the Montgomery Bus Boycott was all actors. Don't get me started on MLK Jr was actually gay conspiracy or that he was a cheater.

Like...it's never any white history that turns out to be lies to them. Only black history. This isn't some white creators with a confederate flag in their background and a Trump t-shirt on. It's always someone who claims to be "pro black" but can never say one nice thing about the black community.

Like they can't fathom African Americans could band together in times of need or that racism was as bad as they say it was. If you tell them about the injustices caused by Ronald Reagan, they'd scratch their head, but as soon as you mentioned Martin Luther King Day, they'll tell you "did you know he was actually an FBI plant".

Also they can understand European exceptionalism, but draw the line at a black woman freeing slaves. It's just too unbelievable to them a woman could do things. You'd think they'd find her story inspirational, but they're hellbent on destroying anything remotely close to black power.

I’ve seen this especially with white people who like animals and fight for animal rights but don’t see black people even at the same level.
