Yep GTA 6 going woke/diversity!

[Darkmaster]

1. Pandering to women/people who don't play the game or not going to play the game in the first place.
2. No more race jokes and chicc jokes
3. Removing white woman as "Bonnie Elizabeth Parker" and replacing her with a Mexican woman witch i think is racist to white women.
4. This game will fail.

So by your logic a GTA game with a "minority" lead would be making fun of them all game long? Or cowering to the woke PC cancel culture crowd and unrealistically worshiping and victimizing them?

You probably thought that was a clever reply.

You're just not smart enough to get the joke.

Just like TLoU2, GTA 6 will make incredibly good sales, and people like you will be left crying into your pillows.

are you kidding me? TLoU2 was a mockery of the game, and all the true fans will even deny its existence by saying "Boy I'm sure glad they didn't make a sequel" to discussions of the first one... It was pandering to the max and many including myself have refused to play it.

This game makes fun of everyone.

I also don't understand the racism towards Mexicans since this game takes place in Los Angeles, California.

What's not to understand? You answered your question with your first sentence..

Laugh it off and have a good time, everyone is made fun of, that's GTA. Also, enjoy it while it lasts, the next one will be like a CW show.

I think you guys are overreacting. Especially when people start saying that women ruin games. Just makes you lot seem like a bunch of incels

Out of curiosity, what exactly are those traditionally female games? Can you name a few? Are you going to say Sims, cooking simulator and farmville now? Please dont.

Whoever uses the word "woke" is a deep conservative, and will be the death of us all. Times are changing. There are reasons we don't call african-americans the n-word. Racial slurs are not acceptable anymore. But you conservative people of the south want white-supremacy. And I know no politics, but you conservatives brought politics into EVERYTHING! Go grow the F-up, and start acting like real people, instead of the witch-hunting bafoons you are!

Tell me you're ignorant and in middle school without telling me you're ignorant and in middle school

And let me tell you something. Are you offended? Are you one of them?
Edit: No, im not the ignorant one here. Maybe you should take the red-pill instead of the blue-pill.

I see someone who previously stated multiple times that they couldn't be bothered to continue this debate because they weren't allowed to talk about the seemingly dangerous and never to be spoken about "heart of the matter" has somehow managed to find the motivation to continue to go around in circles for days after this proclamation.

------------------------

For other individuals who have since claimed that they don't have an issue with a female character - but 'just' with the lack of choice of if they have to be one or not, I have a question for you;

Did you complain just as ferociously (or even at all) about earlier games in this series - and/or other games - where the only character you could play was a male?

I suspect the answer will be "no" and so I would be interested in your explanation as to why not.

Neither political party is able to produce any funny comedy at this point. The only people that were ever funny were just people free of the cage and creative restrictions of the PC culture. Hard to really pin point why but noone has been able to be in the least bit funny converting their comedy to align specifically with talking points of one of the two parties.

It would be good if she was like Catalina from GTA San Andreas/GTA 3. Catalina was a bad bi*ch. She betrayed anybody and everybody.

I hate woke ♥♥♥♥ but I don't see how playing as a woman qualifies as pandering. There are plenty of badass female characters in both games and movies and I'm very curious to see what Rockstar can do with that.

I'll wait to judge the final product myself before getting caught up in this kind of speculation. If they really do go full on woke I just won't buy their games anymore and move on, but I just can't imagine GTA losing it's satirical edge completely.

R* are masters of satire.

If they choose to remove jokes that fall short of their own high standards on what constitutes funny then I fully support that decision.

I think that the disconnect that is being experienced by most people who have a problem with the announcements and recent news about GTA6 is the word "satire" and "joke" are fully interchangeable in their heads. Not all jokes are satire. Jokes where the punchline is simply that person is "gay" or that person is "trans" are really just the lowest form of humour and appeal to the lowest common denominator in civilised society.

There's plenty to satirise about "woke" culture, but to effectively satirise something you have to at least understand the principals of the thing you're criticising or mocking. It's pretty evident here from the comments that the people who are upset just don't "get" why stuff happens, and quite clearly take it as a personal insult or existential threat.

You say that, but then theese people make themselves walking punchlines because of how they act, hence the reason i feel most people are annoyed at the removal of jokes at their expense.
