I bet Rockstar is thinking twice about *checks notes* making a normal looking female character.

      Yeah, can we please just stop talking about him?

      Like, especially for things that have absolutely nothing to do with him…

      The best bit of is I don’t think he even said anything? He said he didn’t play GTA because it got to the bit where you have to shoot cops and he couldn’t morally do it, that’s super dumb but I haven’t seen anything he said about the characters and no one in here is talking about it.

      I think people have imagined how he probably feels and now we have to hear about that too!

        How you play a video game is as much a moral choice as writing/reading about the same.

        I’ve found it’s a huge red flag when someone’s opinions are always hardline and binary like this. It’s literally choosing to be unreasonable when you never consider nuance, context, etc. I would agree that some issues are black and white, but most things in the world are shades of grey…

    For future reference, whenever you show a graphic of a globe, please rotate the globe such that North America is facing the viewer. This is considered good etiquette. Thanks

    • ook_the_librarian@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      I know it’s not relevant here, but since we’re talking globe etiquette: if your graphic of a globe shows New Zealand, be sure to shop it out to not reveal its location. At least cover it with a spoiler tag.

    Righties 4ish years ago: “Those cuckwokes in the land Downunder are pulling GTA V from shelves over violence, what a bunch of snowflakes. 😂😂”

    Righties today: “um, could you stop doing violence in the M rated video game? My Hypothetical children are getting influenced. 🤓🤓”

    The only thing consistent on that side of the fence is their inconsistency.

      That’s ok, Muskoid is going to sue the ADL and Media Matters, and based on his extremely flawed ideas regarding Freedom Of Speech, he probably believes he can win lol.

      he’s such a fucking clown

      source
      • FlyingSquid@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        His claim for suing Media Matters is that ads don’t always appear next to Neo-Nazis, therefore they had to hit refresh until one did.

        Which… they never said otherwise? And that doesn’t really change things?

        I can definitely see them including a Musk-like character.

        Full Lethal Weapon 2 accent, over compensating hair, quests to test his wacky inventions, crushed in a quest where you help him move server racks.

        Then Rockstar and Take-Two get their Twitter accounts locked under some bullshit about “incitement of violence” against him and his family.

    A jackass not being a fan of something is, to me, a pretty good advertisement for that thing.

    It’s like a loud, obnoxious racist complaining about a nearby bar. “They don’t believe in freedom! They asked my friends and I to leave just for telling a few jokes!”

    Oh, they don’t put up with bigots and aren’t afraid to kick them out? Maybe I should start hanging out there!

        These people confuse me. GTA6 protag is realistic but still at model level of conventional beauty.

        It’s not like Sarah Rider (Mass Effect Andromeda) or Jesse Faden (Control), who aren’t as “conventionally” attractive. Although after writing that, Jesse is super hot, and I’m not sure if I’ve been gaslit by the internet into thinking she’s not “conventionally” attractive.

        Being charitable and taking these people at their word, I feel like with the more divisive examples it’s a problem with modern lighting being softer and more dynamic? Leading to more “bad” angles and softer looking features. Most professional photoshoots have very contrasty and deliberate lighting, so maybe they’re too used to that?

    It’s not even that the protagonist is a woman, the Boer said that he didn’t want to play GTA V because he just couldn’t kill police officers
