Just fucking absurd that they can muster up so much vitriol to bitch when it comes to their games being impacted in no meaningful way whatsoever but they cant lift a finger to give a shit about anything that fucking matters. "It ruined the developers artistic vision"...game is fucking gta...

    They really are a vociferous bunch aren’t they? I’m all for trans rights but I suspend all feelings when I play Grandtheft auto. As should most.

    I want to shoot this dude in the head until all that’s left is a bunch of blood and pulp.

      "Turn off your brain bro, just consume." These are the type of people GTA makes fun of.

        Ironically, these are the people that should be considered the easily offended ones. I remember back in the late 2000s when these type would be written off as "soccer moms" or "religious nutjobs trying to take away our games". Hell, the GOP routinely points to video games as a reason shootings happen, not nazi propaganda.

        Good media should provoke. It should make people think and challenge preconceptions or prejudices. They claim they want games to be edgier again but they just want the flavorless "wholesome American family values" pushed by Henry Ford of the 1950s back, just with more open condoning of Hitler.

        G*mers hate free speech. You're not even allowed to question yourself of any prejudices in their world.
