Votes for Women, the critically acclaimed card-driven wargame about the fight for women's suffrage in the US, stands to miss out on up to $60,000 of backing for its second print run after Facebook repeatedly banned ads for the game due to it featuring a "sensitive social issue".
But it’s OK to advertise for more violence oriented games, because no one cares if people get murdered, that’s surely not a “sensitive” issue. Votes for women IS a sensitive social issue and it should be - hence the necessity for games that teach us all more about it.
This is the kind of reverse thinking that goes on here in Utah all the time. We should not let teachers talk about women’s rights or the downtrodden native americans (which is now against the law here) but only teach that white people always do the right thing and have never raised a finger to hurt anybody.
I’m looking forward to Parker Brother’s release of “Idiocracy, the board game your whole family will soon be playing.”
