There's a new "horror" movie out right now called Heretic that's been getting a lot of attention. But the main horror of the movie is really just how insulting and condescending the whole thing is to Christians.
The movie is about some psychopath who locks a couple female Mormon missionaries inside his house and then spends almost the entire 2 hours just having him "debunk" religion and try to convince the missionaries to question their faith. I haven't been able to find any confirmation on the background of the film's creators, but there is one scene that is laughably biased in favor of Judaism.
The old man starts telling the missionaries about the history of monopoly and how it was just another iteration of an older game called The Landlord's game. You see, the Landlord's Game was made by a smart and hard-working feminist, and then some mean sexist man plagiarized it and created Monopoly and didn't give her any credit. Then he starts giving examples of how modern songs were sued for copyright infringement because they plagiarized melodies from older songs, and he uses these as an analogy to say that Christianity and Islam plagiarized off of Judaism.
Judaism was the OG monotheistic religion. But if they were the first true monotheistic religion, then why are they only 0.2% of the world's population? Well it's because they don't advertise their religion like Christians do.
The Guardian even put out an article praising the movie's realistic portrayal of Mormonism and citing some totally real Mormons who thought the movie was amazing and very realistic.
The game is literally Leftist propaganda. It was designed by a kind of archaic Socialist/Progressive who promoted this thing called "Georgism". The idea of the game was to prove that ... monopolies... were going to naturally occur as people developed land, and that this system of free market competition always generated a situation where one person would dominate all land and rend as the landlord more powerful than the bank.
When you stop playing by "House Rules" and play the game exactly as intended, it becomes very clear that only the most evil, bloodthirsty, bastard among you can win. The game is designed to promote toxic trades, aggressive mortgages, and that the bank never "makes more money", and no money is put under Free Parking. Jails are intended to be used strategically as a way of actually keeping your cash from being used. All of the "House Rules" that designed to make the game more competitive, are actually counters to how the propaganda message of the game flows.
It is not supposed to be a fun game. It is supposed to be an instructional tool used to promote land redistribution by the state. It's supposed to make you hate the guy who's winning because that's the only explanation for why anyone would be winning in life.
Elizabeth Maggie is who they are talking about, but the reality of the situation is that she had a copyright on her version of the game, and then other people had copyrights on their versions of the game that included variations like street names and the utilities, and followed slightly different rules. Milton Bradley eventually decided to make the game themselves and publish it from their large logistical system as a nationally popular game, rather than a regionally popular game. In so doing, they bought out not only the patents (including Maggie's), but also bought all the available physical copies of The Landlord's Game that were still available, so long as they could get sole and exclusive rights to it.
So no, not screwed over at all. She didn't get credit for it because she sold the right to be credited for it. Also, because she wasn't the sole creator of the game Monopoly, and had simply been a precursor to what we have today.

Socialism is the most profitable grift of them all. The amount of Socialist millionaires and billionaires is galling.
