>The problems of female characters being under-represented in geek merchandise is real. But when it’s a secondary character like Gamora or Black Widow, at least toy companies have an excuse. When the girl is not just the star of the movie, but of the whole franchise, that’s another story.
>That character, of course, is Rey, the main character of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, and the latest problem has to do with Hasbro’s Star Wars: The Force Awakens Monopoly. In the game, the four playable characters are Luke Skywalker, Finn, Darth Vader and Kylo Ren. No Rey.
>Obviously, she should be in there instead of Finn. Not just because she’s a more important character, or a girl, but for reasons in the context of the movie as well. There are parallels with the other four characters, implicit or otherwise. I have no problem with Luke and Vader being in there if you want to pay tribute to the original trilogy but Finn over Rey seems crazy.
WHY DONT YOU MEN WANT WOMEN IN YOUR FILM MERCHANDISE
The people who care are never involved. Ever.
>>64487782
WE PUT THE NEW NON-WHITE GUY AND THE EDGY WHITE GUY IN IT, HOW MUCH MORE 2015 DO YOU WANT?
>>64487782
This is a legit complaint though. She was a main character. If I bought the game I'd expect her to be in it. It doesn't make much sense
>muh sjw
You are really reaching friend

Finn was much better character.

Someone tell the black people on Twitter about this.
>>64487782
It's 2016, we NEED a black character in Star Wars Monopoly.
On a serious note, though, I think they probably didn't include Rey for plot-related reasons. If she is indeed destined to turn to the Dark Side they wouldn't want to include her as a "blue" character on the Monopoly board. Finn is probably going to be the real Jedi hero long-term in the New Trilogy to it makes sense that he should be the blue guy.
>>64487934
This. A healthy reaction would have been"lol they forgot the main character". But no. Insecure shits.
>>64488106
hahahahahahaha someone do it
can't wait for the great hashtag war
>Rey being more important than based Finn
Seriously? TFA is Finn's story, Rey is basically a spectator until the last bit
>>64487782
Because boys don't want to play as girls, while girls don't care if they have to play as boys. If I was a kid I would whine, with good reason, if my parents buy me a Rey doll. I'm not a girl. Kylo or Finn, on the other hand, are fair game.
Having a woman protagonist for a children movie was a total mistake if they want to sell the toys.
>it's a /pol/ and /r9k/ tourists get colonshredded over yet another literally who's shitpost episode
>>64487846
it's a set for the entire series. not every main character from every film is in it
Wait why does a Monopoly game only have four pieces? Doesn't that allow for at least eight players?
Also yeah this is pretty dumb at least from a marketing viewpoint because they're basically ignoring a core demographic. If they wanted to involve the chicks I'd have done the characters like this:
Luke, Leia, Rei and Finn for the good guys.
Vader, Kylo Ren,SHEEV and I guess Captain Phasma for the bad guys.
>either include the female lead or the POC lead
Didn't read your greentext because it's probably feminist clickbait, but it is bullshit if they didn't include Rey.
Now have some of Hasbro's latest Dungeons & Dragons game to be upset about.

"Okay Emma!"
"But girls, it says right here that you can't lend money to another player."
"Oh lighten up! It's not like this kind of strategy goes against the spirit of the game and makes it even longer. Now I hope I land on Free Parking, it means I get to collect all the tax money!"
They would've written the same article if it were luke and rey and asking for finn because racism.

All women do suck at Monopoly though.
That is fact.
They lack the required mental toughness and character.
>>64488420
Yup. Blacks are higher than women on the Victim Value Index because they and their advocates are more disruptive.
>>64487782
It makes more sense to include her once you see the film, but the trailers and pre-release media are all about baiting you into thinking Finn is the big hero character, not Rey. This is why she's never pictured with the lightsaber or anything, only Finn.
>>64488229
This is a super simplified version of Monopoly. It's something like you go around and buy a property, you get multiple properties in a single area you can buy an extra property (like a monopoly). Game ends when all properties are bought and whichever side (light side/Dark side) has the most wins. It's not a free-for-all, play until everyone else is bankrupt thing like normal.
>>64487782
That sucks.
I'd rather see her than Finn.
Not that I hate Finn but he's just some guy, Rey is a Force user.
>>64487782
And if it was Rey not Finn, it would be all "why is it all white people". Blacks complain louder than women so they win.
Why the hell is Darth Vader even in the game?
>>64488269
This is an outrage and I’m sending Hasbro.TM a postal letter immediately. Why is it not IN WRITING, that I may play myse…character as dog trapped in a transgendered male body. Just because I want to be a male dog but in a body with breasts and a vagina I am discriminated against, by not only my dad, but now by Hasbro.TM.

Monopoly keeps becoming more stupid.
Remember when it was a decent simulation game that was both fun to play and a clever satire on Georgism?
The irony is that they probably chose Finn over Rey to prevent an outrage over not including black people.

Yoda, Luke, Obi-Wan, Leia, Sheev, Vader, Maul and Grievous
Why only 4?

Are you talking about AotC or the Clone Wars series? He was prominent in AotC and was obviously the main character, and Clone Wars jumped around with its characters because it was a TV show

Because in "Asia" (read Japan) grown adults masturbate at the idea of fucking a carton 12 years old "girl".

>>64489447
Nips do action girls since the 80's.
When USA does an action movie with females everybody screams how progressive it is. It's hilarious.
1 hero vs. 1 villain from the OT
1 hero vs. 1 villain from the NT
The latter villain must be Kylo Ren. The hero must be Rey or Finn. They went with black over a woman, white feminists should be ashamed of themselves for kicking off about this.
>>64488271
They would have a better chance at winning Monopoly if it was about cucking their husband and getting the house for doing nothing.
>>64487782
Then maybe they should have created a better character instead of a Mary Sue, you stupid fucking cunts.

Luke, Dark Vader and Kylo are Skywalkers. Finn is not.

Indeed.
That is weird, but if they omitted Finn in favour of Rey they'd still be complaining.

One victim, 28 year old ‘Katja L’ spoke of her ordeal as she tried to make her way to the waiting room of Cologne railway station with two other girls and a boyfriend in the early hours of new year’s day. She told Der Express – one of the largest regional newspapers: “When we came out of the station, we were very surprised by the group that met us there”. She said the group was “exclusively young foreign men”. Keeping close to her friends, they pressed on:
“We then walked through this group of men. There was an alley through [the men] which we walked through. Suddenly I felt a hand on my buttocks, then on my breasts, in the end, I was groped everywhere. It was a nightmare. Although we shouted and beat them, the guys did not stop. I was desperate and think I was touched around 100 times in the 200 meters.
“Fortunately I wore a jacket and trousers. a skirt would probably have been torn away from me”.
yeah for 2016!

The trilogy is about Anakin, but he was not the main protagonist of Episode 1. Hell, one could argue that since he turned to the dark side in Episode 3 that he wasn't the main protagonist, and instead was the main antagonist.
>>64489961
>screen time = character importance
Finn is there as an audience surrogate, that's about it.
Ugh. Really?
Isn’t she actually on screen more than any of those characters too? I only saw it once, but I think she has the most screen time of any individual character (unless you count BB-8).
Maybe and I mean really just maybe you could make an argument that the four characters they give you make sense if Finn was the potential Jedi in the movie, because then all the characters you could play would be Force users, but this is just sexist bullshit and I guarantee you there’s some cigar-chomping 50-something asshole executive who said to leave Rey out because no one will buy it if you have to play as a girl. Eew cooties.

Probably because that guy was you and you're retarded. TPM is the only movie you can think of where the "main character" shows up halfway through. Anakin is not the main character in TPM, he is a major plot point and a major character but he is not the "main character"

Yeah right. The only people I know who still buy board games are women.

THIS IS SO PROBLEMATIC. UGGGH
Rey is an incredibly boring character.

please stick to topic and not fantasy tho
>Taking a black character out of a fucking board game
RACIST!
>Not including a woman in a fucking board game
SEXIST!
>Including a white man in a fucking board game

She doesn't even talk much in the movie. I've seen it a few times and I feel like Kylo is the main character the more I watch it.
>She wasn't in the set of toys
That's a bigger non issue than this, she still was a toy, just not in the set. It was most likely a marketing decision knowing that people would by her as a stand alone as well as the set.
>Not in Monopoly
That's odd but it's still a who fucking cares issue.
If Rey hasnt been included, what does the tell us about where the next 2 movies go?
Interesting.
>Women upset they aren't an object
Hee hee
So most of this merchandise shit is finished with production months before the movie gets released. The fact that Rey is excluded from most of this means she was hamfisted in as the main protag way late, which gives reason to her lack of characterization. The movie felt like it should have focused on Finn a lot more than it did at release, and all this merchandise kind of shows that.
>>64487782
>Obviously, she should be in there instead of Finn.
GET USED TO IT, NIGGER
>>64491237
until they found out his toys didn't sell, they had to change direction and go with a pretty white girl..her toys won't sell either
ITT: people trapped in /tv/ complaining about this not being a "real problem" when they probably do shit about actually real life problems and spend 24/7 on a board about Chinese cartoones.
Srsly guys.
Also, what a fucking retarded decision. Bitch's like Luke's missing daugther or some shit, she -is- the protagonist. Wtf is wrong with this people.
Daily reminder that Disney wanted a white guy to play Finn, until JJ "BLACKED" Abrams wanted a black guy in for diversity.
>>64491096
Dead Master will forever be the best. Then STR.
From that photo it looks like they chose a hero and a villain from the OT and from the TFA.
>Vader Luke from the OT
>Kylo Ren as the villian from TFA
>either Rey or Finn as the hero
Hasboro probably sat down and decided who they wanted to offend less, feminists or the BLM group, and they went with BLM
>>64487782
Why is the author so against representation of black people in board games? Wow, racist much? It's 2016
>>64491369
I find your awful grammar disturbing.

NOTICE in the POSTER how KYLO and REY both appear to be holding RED LIGHT SABERS
>>64491237
Rey was in the early drafts as a woman named Kira. They always intended that the new hero be a woman. You can be mad over nothing though, family.
>>64491377
They lost hundreds of millions of $ from international box office because of that.
But I guess they get praised for being progressive instead.
>>64491439
Reminder that the leader of First Order was female too.

> I spent the last 4 hours reading and rereading the rule to Paths of Glory. I don't own the game, I don't plan to, and I have nobody to play with, but I'd absolutely be up for a game.

> What's a good game for economists? I'm currently taking a course dealing with game theory and I'd love to pick up a game that incorporates that kind of thinking.
Just some examples, but I'm sure these people aren't women.
Since when does Monopoly only come with 4 pieces? It usually has at least like 6.
If they had chosen Rey instead of Finn, this article would be complaining that Finn is missing and that the game is white supremacist.
Notably, nobody seems to be complaining about the fact that it's Monopoly and therefore a pile of shit to begin with no matter what characters you put in it.
The only good Star Wars board game to come out of Hasbro in the last decade is the new Risk: Star Wars Edition, because it's not actually Risk at all: it's a Battle of Endor version of Star Wars: The Queen's Gambit.
>>64487936
Let's be honest, if they had included Rey instead they'd probably be complaining about muh racism.
>>64491443
>They lost hundreds of millions of $ from international box office because of that.
[citation needed]
>>64491443
They're totally kicking themselves for only making 800 million over 3 weeks at the international box office.
>>64491622
Chinks hate niggers. Movie poster for this movie had to be changed for this very reason in chinkland.
>>64488086
Unfortunately, yes. Finn seems to only be there to fail at and run away from everything, because Rey can never be allowed to get in over her head in any situation and must always be the one to save the day in every scene. Because feminism.
This unfortunately means that he is the sassy cowardly black sidekick character that's been considered a shitty stereotype for decades, but apparently that's progressive now. I guess Lando, Panaka, and Mace Windu were just "acting white".
>>64491684
Rey gets in over her head the first time she encounters Kylo.
>>64491663
That's not a citation. That's a biased report of a possibly biased viewpoint.
>>64488115
Finn has no apparent Force-sensitivity. The real reason is because of the JJ Abrams mystery box. Every trailer, every poster, everything up until release was hell-bent on implying Finn was the new Jedi, but in the movie Rey's the only one with any apparent strength in the Force and is ultimately the one destined to wield the saber. Finn's just holding it for her until she finally takes it up.
>>64488269
this will get changed just like everything 4e onwards, they try to change things but just look at 5e, it is essentially 3e with upgraded mechanics, the fluff was so hated they made new books to unfuck the universe.
The most popular thing is the drow and gender roles are the driving thing in their story and constant clash of men and women.
>>64491684
Now you see. Feminists are not real friends of the black man. It's been a tentative alliance.
>>64487846
Yeah th8s is kind of fucked up. But I doubt it's a misogyny thing. Is Gamergate some mustache twirling villain behind everything?

Wizards retired the miniatures line precisely because they lost the rights, yes.
Fantasy Flight seems hellbent on OT only for some bizarre reason, though they did add TFA X-Wings and TIEs to X-Wing.
>>64491617
Pretty much
>>64487782
My sister got this for Christmas and we just use micro machine X-Wings and TIEs for the tokens.
It's a lot more fun and makes sense that way since the board is made up of different planets
>>64491205
She is absent from the 12" hero figure line for some baffling reason, but she's present in every other line.
The only reason you won't find her at your local store is because they sell out SO FAST.
It doesn't matter though, because only chumps buy the 12" hero figures. That's way too big to play with. If actually like playing with your toys, the 3.75" is where it's at. If you like playing with very NICE toys, 6" Black Series.
>>64487782
Now they don't like the black guy taking up the limelight huh? Dear lord people need to find something to complain about every week.
the shill is high in this thread
>>64487782
I think we're all overlooking the bigger issue.
Star Wars Monopoly only comes with four figurines?
And they're just named characters?
I figure you'd get something like the equivalent of shoe and car and thimble.
Maybe at least a TIE Fighter, you know?
>oh fuck you only have 4 spots, 2 OT - 2 TFA
>include nigga to be all progressive and sheiit so SJWs can't say you only include whities in your game
>they complain about it because women and want it to be all white instead
You can never win.
>>64492213
Less tokens and it costs $15 more than regular Monopoly. Go figure.
>filed to: Holy Crap WTF
Nobody can take this seriously
>>64492213
The figures also look like total ass. Just look at them. They look like chinese knock offs and not quality products. They are probably even made out of plastic and not from steel like the classic ones.
>>64487782
>rey has to be in every single multi-pack, game, book ever
I havent owned star wars toys for like 20 years but I went crazy for them back then, in saying that the only characters I was actually interested in/had mummy and daddy buy me were Luke, Han, Sand people, Darth Vader, Palpetine, chewy and stormtroopers
I wouldn't have been interested in buying/playing with a fuckin girl doll as a child
How dare cunts have the choice of what they play with!
In saying that, how many boys are still haviung normal male childhoods? Considering this christmas all I saw was articles about not gender profiling toys.

Finn is the new Jar Jar Binks
Just how miserable and desperate do you have to be to fabricate a letter claiming it was written by an 8 year old for social media attention?
Luke should be removed, he's only in the game because he's white and male
>>64492879
Finn should be removed, he's only in the game because he's black and dindu nuffin.
>>64487782
WAS IT MADE BEFORE REY BEING THE HERO WAS KNOWN!?!?!
>>64493056
Yeah but being black is +2 race bonus
White is -2 unless your female in which is becomes + 2.5

She doesn't belong in the new Risk: Star Wars Edition, because Risk: Star Wars Edition dramatizes the Battle of Endor.
Rey wasn't born yet.
>without her, THERE IS NO FORCE AWAKENS!
We should be so lucky.

It's a shame that girl is such a racist at such a young age
