Twatter complaining about the GTA 6 trailer?

[Dave from work]

Apparently it's "too woke", but the trailer for GTA san andreas was fine.
And here I mistakenly thought GTA was pretty ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ diverse in it's cast?
I guess Nico, Franklin, the entire Grove-street crew, Cesar, the ITALIAN main-character from vice city and the entire crime-family he surrounded himself with.
Were not woke and only correctly inclusive?

People have actually lost their minds and don't have any lines drawn.

Lotta people here don't seem to know about Bonnie and Clyde, it seems.

I hate it.
A simp and a ♥♥♥♥♥ who did a lot of ♥♥♥♥ to end up being riddled like two gruyere cheeses.
A losers story.

I'd characterize them as being victims of the Great Depression who turned to crime to make ends meet, but I'm different. That seems to be the vibe that Rockstar's going for, and not... whatever ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ you created in your head, then got angry about.

Uahhhhaha, The victims were the innocent people they killed to rob, they were simply two losers who got the right ending they deserved.
And I don't give a damn about playing a ''criminal love story'', it's ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ pansy and boring.

I've seen comments in other threads where the exact reason for the person not buying it is "Female lead. Woke nonsense. Not buying". So yeah, the game having a female lead IS their definition of "woke". If that doesn't scream "misogynist incel", I don't know what does.

I mean, to think you're so insecure and sensitive that a woman protagonist offends your "whittle feewings". God knows how these people would have reacted to Tomb Raider back in the 90s. Or Shamus being a girl in Metroid.

Hey I'm an old man with simple needs, I just want to steal vehicles and shoot people while listening to some stupid and nonsense rap song on the radio while driving.
I don't wanna use a fat ass latina on a mission where she has to go get a manicure with her trans friend.

So then go and shoot up a bunch of gangbangers with said woman protagonist and then light their leader on fire? You're acting like you CAN'T do that as a female protagnist. She's literally robbing a store in the trailer.

You projecting some kind of insecurity about playing a female lead says more about you than her. Most female leads in games kill plenty of enemies, sometimes even more viciously than their male counterparts.

Damn dude, game's not out for probably a year and a half and you're already judging it and getting an idea of what its story's like. That's a probably new record for the fastest time the "not easily offended" got offended by a game that we know next to nothing about.

Since Elon Musk turned Twitter into 4Chan 2.0, I wouldn't base anything off of what anyone says on there, especially if they have a blue checkmark account. If anyone actually has a problem with a diverse set of NPCs in a videogame and a problem with black people living in a fictional urban environment, that's a personal problem. Nobody ever complained about San Andreas.

I can't immerse myself in the game if I have to use a perfect caricature of the ''libtard'' culture that hovers in society today, I want this ♥♥♥♥ as far away from me as possible.
So yeah, ♥♥♥♥ this game.

You people are some weird breed of people complaining about a female who literally robs, commits murder etc. Grow up, literally.

Thank you for preemptively removing yourself from the game's community! The less people like you in a game's community, the more enjoyable it becomes.

So why'd you even come here if you have no plans to play the game? To do some trolling? Surely you got better things to do than post emotional drivel on Steam.

What makes a game "woke?"

Woke is an adjective derived from African-American Vernacular English (AAVE) meaning "alert to racial prejudice and discrimination". Beginning in the 2010s, it came to encompass a broader awareness of social inequalities such as sexism and LGBT rights.

And please elaborate on how it's a bad thing

And I didnt want to play as a washed up ex-criminal who took a deal with the feds, then turned out a cuck loser who's wife was getting banged by the yoga-instructor.
(A snitch AND a cuck? yikes.)

But we dont get to choose how the game tells the story, thankfully.

I still dont see how this game is "woke" but the old games are not?
You play as immigrant groups in like.. most of them?
More of that, than not afaik.

-Pronouns in character creator? - ignore it, dont use it.
-You can have a female body with a penis - just dont, if it bothers you.

Unless the game starts preaching, I don't have to engage in any of the above.
I'm not really worried I'll spend 1 hour making an absolute chad for online play, and then accidentally forget to bolt on a penis.

I think this U.S american identity politics trends have gotten WAY out of hand thanks to the internet.
The pendulum swings hard both ways making both sides of this argument sorta insufferable and obnoxious.

I think a lot of people need to sit on the fence for a bit and take a few steps outside of the social-media circus, to make better calls about what to throw under the buss based on 1 minute 20 seconds worth of a trailer.
