**Local Man Demands 'Common Sense' Over 'Mina the Hollower'—Says Kids Should Be Pranking With Chores, Not Cursed Hollows**
**SPRINGFIELD, OH** — A fiery debate has erupted on the *Springfield Moms & Dads Unite* Facebook page after a resident went on a rant about the popular indie game *Mina the Hollower*, calling it “a menace to common sense and childhood innocence.”
“My 12-year-old came home from school talking about ‘hollowing’ and ‘cursed soil’ like it’s normal,” wrote Bob Hendershot, 47, in a post that has since been shared over 2,300 times. “Back in my day, kids played *Minecraft* and learned about redstone. Now they’re learning about ‘soul extraction’ and ‘undead pets.’ Where’s the common sense?”

Hendershot fired back: “Metaphor? She’s a cartoon rat with a whip fighting skeletons. What’s next, teaching kids that grave-robbing is a career path? Common sense says: go outside. Get a job at the hardware store. Quit hollowing.”
The post has since spawned memes, with some locals photoshopping Hendershot’s head onto the
