Set to release later today, Mina the Hollower is a retro Zelda-like indie game from the developers of Shovel Knight. It is on track to become the highest rated game of the year.
Before anyone goes and spends money on this (frankly mediocre looking) game, be aware that the developers, Yacht Club Games are turbowoke. They donated tens of thousands of dollars to a laundry list of leftist orgs including BLM, NAACP, and bail relief funds (aka funds to release violent black criminals back into the community).
Also worth noting: they created a gender swap mode for Shovel Knight in order to assuage their own guilt over choosing a male protagonist for their breakout hit. Of course Mina the Hollower uses a female protagonist from the jump. Some users have requested a gender swap for their new game, but apparently that's just not on the table. Imagine that.
It's always the same story with gender/race swaps. Changing from male or white is fine because those identity traits didn't impact the story, but changing from female or black is verboten because those identity traits always "inform the story".
And if that were true, rather than a bullshit excuse, then a female or black protagonist would always necessarily narrow your audience. Which it definitely does, but not for those reasons lol
Once you go black....
In all seriousness, it's genuinely disturbing how they see white/male identity as a sort of "blank slate" or "canvas" to be "improved." It really speaks to how disposable they find us.
find themselves too. much of their behavior stems from the institutionalized self-hatred but they were bombarded with growing up.
