Comment on You know this is gonna happen.
FishFace@piefed.social 3 weeks agoIt’s news to me that GTA protagonists are typically upstanding moral citizens… I haven’t played GTA since 2, but I seem to remember going on mass killing sprees. Not to try and equate very different crimes but that’s gotta be at least in the same area code as mass child sex trafficking and abuse…

Going on a video game killing spree can be cathartic, gross as that is. I cannot say I would be anything other than revolted by being presented with the video game scenario of getting into the shoes of an Epstein.

It is interesting how sexual crimes are seen as so much more severe. Anything sexual really. Like, in gta you can murder, but fucking a prostitute is censored. Theres blood and death, but genitals would be too far?

Your comment implies that gta is for murderers

Your comment implies pedophiles are same as child molesters. Many pedophiles do not abuse children, knowing full well it hurts them.
Same way, someone with violent inclinations may vent some steam doing a virtual murder spree rather than a real one. Win-win!
