Lesbian Spider-Queens of Mars is a new web game on The Cartoon Network’s AdultSwim.com, where players act as the Spider-Queen who must travel through an 8-bit maze to collect her (topless) slaves. Hmmm. I’m going to stick to Dragon Age 2 for my same-sex sexual gaming quota. Though to be fair, this Spider-Queen is only half the disaster that is the one in Broadway’s Spider-man. [via]
Geezy Pete, Ryan, did you actually spend more than a minute playing or doing any research about the game before getting all snarky about it? It’s a clever send up on Wizard Of War (so there’s your sweet retro cred) and it actually was written by a lesbian transwoman. And there’s even BDSM/Safe Sane Consensual type messages in the mix. Why does the gay press spend all this time crying and crabbing about positive games for and by the gay community being written, and then kick it to the curb when something they claim they want to support finally comes out.
It’s amazing that Adult Swim did it at all, given they are an Atlanta based company that is always butting heads with it’s P&S department. Bravo to them for going to bat for it.
