;As a subject of Gay Studies
The film '' Niggas' Revenge'', and Flex-Deon Blake's role in it, have become the subject of academic discussion. In his book, ''Unlimited Intimacy: Reflections on the Subculture of Barebacking'', Tim Dean, a professor at the University at Buffalo, treats ''Niggas' Revenge'' in detail because of the way in which it fetishizes the simultaneous transgression of a number of taboos, all in order, Dean argues, to "conjure the transgressive charge of unprotected anal sex among gay men." The representation of interracial sex, rape, violence, and incest (between Chris Blake and Bobby Blake) is enhanced by what Dean calls Flex-Deon Blake's "phallicized" appearance:

Flex-Deon Blake was the long-term partner of the well-known black gay pornographic actor Bobby Blake. The latter referred Flex-Deon to the adult industry producer Edward James.
