Eh, this is less polarizing socially/politically than some of the things we’ve seen of late, so from that perspective I don’t think it’s any big deal.
On the other hand, from a toy/game purist angle, it does irk me a bit that Hasbro doesn’t get the concept of leaving the classics alone. If they did an updated version of Monopoly Here & Now with this stuff, I don’t think people would be too bothered. But nostalgia is a heck of a thing, and, rightly or wrongly, people get upset when you mess with their classics.

I identify as a mouse and am greatly offended by Mouse Trap, they better get on that soon too Really, dude? Come on. I'm more offended the trap never works. Here's some suggestions, Hasbro. "You argued with your racist uncle on facebook" Lose $25 dollars "You're rich and famous" Get out of jail

Can we just f*** off with "the one boomer joke" please? It's has never been funny.
Also I have never enjoyed playing Monopoly ever. There's so many good board games out there that don't get an ounce of the attention it does. It's like the game of anti-fun, designed for the purpose of everyone having a bad time.
That said, the Mario Kart one does look okay though.

I think they already got rid of my favorite game piece, the battleship. How am I supposed to rule the high seas of real estate without my big gun diplomacy?

Gone are the boot, wheelbarrow, and thimble i believe But if your willing to spend the money and play the game enough, always buy different versions with different tokens and just combine them. Hell, I just saw they now sell 'add ons' like the "Monopoly Sports Fan Pack", which sells on Walmart for...$97!! What the hell?!?!

Monopoly is better if people would ever actually play it properly: any colored property not bought as soon as the first piece lands on it goes up for auction. Almost no one seems to be aware that this is the rule.
And anyone who plays with the stupid "get money from the center of the board for landing on Free Parking" rule forfeits the right to ever complain about how long the game takes to play. One of the reason games last so long is people insist on adding stupid house rules like that one that break the game and extend it needlessly.

Years ago, Mad Magazine did some potential updated Monopoly cards:
-False rumor about your company supporting Satanism hits Internet.
-Top executive terminated; pay golden parachute compensation package.
-News reports uncover criminal activity in your business; win invasion of privacy lawsuit.
If anything, they need to update thw dollar amounts. They still assume people can become real estate moguls with $1500 tied to 1920's inflation.
