It was originally called the Landlord Game and was created by a woman who wanted to demonstrate the evils of hoarding land. It was later bought and sold without that message. I wish I could wonder how much of the original messaging will show up.

It's just annoying given the way reactionary nerds moan about historical accuracy except in cases like this where they'll put out video essays about wokeness in this movie because the cast isn't all straight white people.

In a vacuum maybe it's just a bad trait, but I think in the context of Whedon's treatment of women, I can't chalk it up to just character writing.

Whedon chose to create the setting, the class of sex workers, making one on the main characters a member of that class, and the lead protagonist say the things he says.

I think that those choices make the show age especially poorly.
