Can a game about money be anything but cynical?
for being a partisan parody, you'll choke when you hear about Hasbro's newest game: Ms. Monopoly.
Ms. Monopoly's goal is to make a statement about the gender pay gap and celebrate female trailblazers. The company has altered the Monopoly rules, by making it so that. Female players receive $400 more at the game's outset than male players, and every time women pass Go, they collect $240, whereas men only see the usual $200. Other changes include swapping out real estate properties for inventions made by women, such as bulletproof vests and ladies' modern shapewear.
The reactions are about what you'd expect, with outrage coming from a few different online camps. Obviously, the usual suspects are complaining that the game is sexist against men., Elizabeth Magpie. Another faction is simply skeptical of what Ms. Monopoly is hoping to achieve, given that the game fundamentally celebrates profit-driven capitalism.
Of course, Ms. Monopoly is part of a long tradition of corporations using social activism to push products. But Ms. Monopoly feels particularly distasteful, since Hasbro has an ugly record of how itwho manufacture the physical Monopoly game and other toys. A 2018 report issued by NGO's titled"A Nightmare for Workers," details an investigation into the working conditions of four factories that produce items for well-known American toy companies and retailers, including Hasbro.
