A new video game featuring a black alien female superhero delivered to Earth to fight global warming is about to hit the market thanks to a $100,000 grant from the Obama administration.
The National Endowment for the Arts is funding the Spelman College of Atlanta, Ga.'s multi-episode game called "HERadventure." In the grant announcement made last year, the NEA said the story "focuses on a young female superhero sent to Earth to save her own planet from devastation because of climate changes caused by social issues impacting women and girls."
The game is set to debut on March 8 on International Women's Day.
The college's digital newspaper described the project this way: "What would happen if the societal issues affecting women put other planets at risk? Well, of course, HER, a black female superhero, would swoop in with a plan to save the universe.

I hope its multiplayer so we can all take turns killing her. Maybe do a Call of Duty mod and use some heavy artillary.

Is this like Medal of Honor where we can also play as “the enemy?” Can we spatter her brains on the concrete wall with a good clean head shot?

I was under the impression that video game making was a profitable business.
Since this needs federal welfare to develop, that means that they are not expecting to sell many copies.

Let's just say a picture is worth 1,000 words...and that, IMHO, she bears a strange resemblance to a certain 44th President of the United States, right down to the "Now you've had an independent idea and pissed me off" expression on her face. It's as if someone said, "How can we make out metrosexual President into a shower cap-wearing female Zabrak from Star Wars?"That all may be so, but the important thing is, would Laz hit it?
DANG!

I have never played a video game. I would be tempted to play this one for the opportunity to kill her.

Didn’t something like this happen one time before?
This is causing a vague itch in my severely limited long term memory but I can’t scratch it.

Unfortunately she fights the same evil as other superheros, but receives less points and you can't make it to the final level of the game because of the glass ceiling.
Such is life.

And how are we supposed to be able to help her? Is their an elderly knight living in some out of the way corner of our planet who is her only hope?

A new video game featuring a black
alien female superhero... How convenient. Those who complain about this can now be labeled as racist.
