Hell yeah for playing game boy, game boy advance and game boy color games on your TV with no emulation issues. Hell yeah for those like 8 GBA games that had specific functions for the game boy advance player like using the rumble in the controller to let you find secrets. Players are everywhere, but the god drat discs are so expensive

http://store.steampowered.com/app/383750/ Sooo uhhh, blacksploitation lovely platformer developed by a bunch of white dudes. Released in 2015. And not a single review mentions how its whole aesthetic is deplorable and awful. Just that the platforming is bad.

If you think a game is morally/ethically bad and it's already some unknown indie then your best course of action to just not talk about it. I mean it's already some obscure title nobody gives a poo poo about. Making noise and yelling "LOOK HOW BAD THIS IS" can only give it more exposure, especially if it gets picked up by the 10,000 strong "ironic reviews" brigade.

I just think the blaxploitation in that game is in that area where it's so intentionally ridiculous and bad that I wouldn't really expect anybody to take it seriously. What matters more in this case is that the game isn't notable for anything besides it and is clearly banking on it as a result, so it's not worth giving a drat about.

"Instead of pointing out something terrible so that maybe our community stops accepting that it's ok. Just let it go." It got released onto the Wii, a console known for family and kids games.

I thought the world had decided a very long time ago that blacksploitation was good and enjoyable even despite its namesake, but then again most of my exposure to the genre comes from people making parody out of it so Needless to say, the indie game is still probably bad regardless

That reminds me of 19th century Americans claiming that Catholic Irish are subhuman but Protestant Irish are white and therefore okay.

And the only blacksploitation parodies that aren't poo poo are made by people who are actually black.
