How woke will GTA 6 be?

[VPANCE]

As I recently re-played the game, you can clearly sense a distinct contrast to modern games here—one that’s unapologetically masculine.

Now as hinted in the trailer, we're seeing an interesting dynamic where the female protagonist is noticeably pretty badass, with the other token guy being more of a soft-spoken type who acts out of place.

Given the series's legacy of unapologetically crude and hyper-masculine vibes, I can't help but wonder what kind of detrimental effect this tonal shift might bring？

Way too woke for you

[Pablo the Technician]

How did you determine that the guy is soft spoken and/or reserved though? There was and is no character development for either of the protagonists so far. Kind of a pointless speculation right now on whether GTA VI will be this or that, we were given too little information you see. Perhaps he’s a hotshot money hungry killer.

I hope it will not be woke, woke is like cancer everywhere and GTA is such a great game

[Aghinem]

The game historically has always been satirical in nature, making fun of both conservative and liberal views because there are extremists on both sides. I really doubt there is going to be any intentional DEI / Woke injected material to push any narrative or agenda.

[Wazey|RO]

First of all, how can you ask the community if gta 6 is gonna be woke? we are not developing the game bruh, ask rockstar themselfs, we don't even know when gta 6 trailer 2 is gonna release, and you ask such a dumb question.

[Killzone]

Its the 2020's.

Totally 100% DEI and woke garbage as their last updates for GTA 5

I have nothing against strong believable non white male characters.

As a white male though I do prefer to roleplay as another white male. There are plenty of other games where women are the main protagonist. The longest journey is a amazing game, but maybe its invalidated because its written by a white male?

I also have nothing against human rights, but excluding straight white males and then calling it "dei" seems counter intuitive. Why cant we all just have the same rights lmao.

I also think it was crazy that the government paid for alot of this.

One significant factor contributing to this trend is the funding obtained through government systems that often come with checkboxes, a practice prevalent among Government Contractors. Games developers may hire consultants like Sweet Baby Inc. to address inclusivity requirements stipulated by government grants. Grants from the US government, for instance, may have stipulations enforcing a percentage of workers from specific racial, gender, or creed backgrounds.

I have no problem with having more characters to look at, or more diversity to the team.

What I get tired is being told how I "a straight white male" are dumb/ignorant, sexist, racist, etc. It gets real old after a while.

On top of that im appalachian, and am considered a "invisible" minority. I do not share the same values as mainstream society and deal with constant judging from everyone. But yet im considered "privelged" for simply being white.

Grew up dirt poor, get injured at work, they lie and cover it up, i die dirt poor.

I keep hearing about this "white privilege", ive yet to see it though. Just seems to be another tactic used by the rich to divide the poor against each other. And sadly it seems to be very effective.

oh never mind ur based, we're truly suffering in this politically-correct-infested gaming landscape, but the resistance must go on.

Nice essay lol, You sound like one of those clueless poseurs on GTA forums who pretend to understand the games.

Yes, the series has always been satirica and politicall, but that's completely irrelevant to my point. If you think creating a strong character inherently satirizes masculinity itself, you fundamentally misunderstand GTA's storytelling.

Trevor openly mocks feminists and effeminate men like Floyd - that's literally his character design. The hallmark of modern political correctness in gaming is demonizing traditional masculinity while irrationally amplifying female empowerment.

We've seen this toxic pattern across countless titles, making games increasingly alienating for those with traditional values. This is especially jarring in a franchise built on criminal hyperviolence like GTA.

How about not caring? Have you ever heard about that? Don't like it, don't buy it. Not everything had to devolve into whose ideology is right, and whose is wrong. Accept the differences, and move on. But you people will never accept that because your whole life is fueled in hatred and division. To quote the Joker: "Why so serious?" It's a video game that parodies real life. It's no different than South Park. Not everything has to be taken out of context.

We really don’t care, which is why there are so many woke crap flop in 2024

Yeah nothing says "macho" like The Ballad of Gay Tony. The guy lives in your Night Club, bro. Also Bernie Crane.

And Cara Delevingne. Most macho DJ in LS.


Yeah Trevor's traditional prison wife style behavior. This is really funny.

Trevor hates everybody. He says whatever will draw a provocation. Get it?

Lmfao tell me you have not played the game without telling me you have not played the game.
It was 0% woke. Just showing gays doesn't mean it is woke lmfao, u just saw “gay” and said “oh, this will own the chuds“ lmao

Nah, because cult classic's would be considered "woke" then. Every form of media; Books, videos, music, games have had things you would deem "woke" dating back forever now. Your dear leader's favorite song to gyrate to after his hate rallies is quite literally a song about young black men having "fun". The fact that you still go on and on about it, and vote about it means that you do in fact care, since most of your past posts have been about it. If it don't affect you, why should you care? Why should other people be relegated to the shadows? There are different people in the world. Accept that fact, and move on with life.

Edit: And if your statement was true, then you wouldn't be ♥♥♥♥-talking it here, like every pre-release media for the past 5 years.

”Why would u care about your favorite things being taken away. Just embrace it“ lol I can tell you're a typical leftist.

Diversity and inclusion in gaming have always been positive forces, existing long before DEI and political correctness became buzzwords. Because they are inherently natural, not artificially forced into place merely to meet the corporate's routine checklists.


But you'll never succeed at forcing non-traditional concepts down people's throats, no matter how hard you try to gaslight everyone.
