Well, originally, the piece is Vizier - king's advisor, the gender of which isn't specified. (but implied to be male?)
So what you're saying is that switching it from Vizier to Queen isn't about progressive feminism, but instead about monogamy and heteronormative gender roles? Way to ruin it for everybody! 😠
Idk if I'm saying that, but it's definitely woke. They should've came up with a new character instead of just gender-swapping an existing one!
The Vizier also only moved one space at a time, like the king but without significant importance. It wasn't until the French changed the Queen in the 1600s to move as far as she wants that she was liberated from the shackles of the patriarchy.
