Hasbro thinks women need a head start to be equal to men because they are inferior

i don't think their aim is to solve sexism as much as it is to act ''woke''

It is to make money. They just surf over the wave. Imagine the millions of feminists and guilt tripped men buying this for more than 20bucks. That's good money there.

I am a strong independent woman, beating the patriarchy with fake money and fake real estate in my tiny apartment

And fake rules too. The point of monopoly was to show that too little regulations and rules in capitalism leads to devastation for most of the people (If I remember?), while there it's just like "we put rules in there to be unfair". It makes me somehow laugh at the idea that women need such help to win.
Imagine winning against her at this game, kek

man, hasbro is the boardgame king of clickbait/outrage advertisement, they also recently made a socialism monopoly and a millenial monopoly, those folks know what they're doing.

Most big companies don't care about agendas. If a company like hasbro makes something like this you can be very sure that they did it to exploit stupid people into buying it.

that's what I'm saying, they know what they're doing. They learned from gilette and pepsi and all the others. making stuff that gets a discussion started brings a lot of attention to your product, and some sucker out there that would not have heard about it might buy it now. they wouldn't do it if it didn't work out in their favour.

what did pepsi do? also did the gilette ad actually work out in their favour?

pepsi had that big advertisement with kendall jenner (where she hands a pepsi to a cop at a protest, remember?) that caused the whole internet to talk about pepsi for like weeks. And gillete didn't get by it atleast if looking at the stocks is any way to determine it? (edit* pic related is a chart of their share prices)
I mean there's a thousand reasons that affect those, I guess winter might always be a bad time for shaving companies. But they grew since then a lot. So it hasn't hurt them meaningfully on that level it apepars
And in like surveys their share of women interested in their products or reacting positively to their ad was big, far bigger than the number of people breaking their razors on twitter or saying they'd boycott (which fed into the outrage-advertising)

reading into it now, it's sort of interesting. Like, the company beat sales expectations but over the last couple of years the overall market for razors seems to have shrunk atleast 11%, since men overall shave less nowadays. I guess the hipster millennials are at it again killing industries.

yeah and admittedly even if it wasn't hasbro they would definitely make it as advertisement rather than to push an agenda, the concept of that game is still stupid and people buying it unironically are idiots.

Isn't that kind of sexist to say to begin with by implying that in real life women can't make more than men? Like that clip of Knuckles from Sonic Boom.

Quick google search and:
