Rumors of GTA6's protagonist being a woman has brought Shitty Gamer Takes Twitter account out of retirement
- Thread starter DrForester
- Start date
The only thing I care about is this. If they really are going back to Vice City, and they don't lay on the '80s aesthetic and a soundtrack of nothing but '80s hits, then what was the point?
I a man can't play games staring a woman because I can't relate to them. Though I have no problem playing as a female cat. /s

"Why women don't like nice guys :(" - these dudes
They always say stuff will go broke and they never do
Also, women's existence now is considered woke?

A woman complaining about a female main character in GTA?
What the fuck?
I remember a bit of the reaction to San Andreas, when (shitty) people found out you played as a black man.
People were mad they brought in Morgan in red dead 2 instead of Morston, and yet RS managed to pull it of..it all depends on the execution.
Its not that surprising honestly. There are plenty of right leaning women that constantly work against their own self interests.

That's what I'm saying, it did. Racist assholes saying they wouldn't play, racist armchair analysts saying the game wouldn't sell, all of it.
They're mad that a woman can be a criminal too? She'll still be a horrible person like all of the other GTA protagonists (as she should be) but a woman .
No GTA player character it's gonna be screaming about social issues or anything, I don't understand their problem with this.

There were women hand waving and maybe even defending Trump's "grab her by the pussy" remarks, so this isn't surprising, sadly. Some women will definitely diminish their identity if it means reaching a certain audience.
Chuds: We don't have anything against female leads. I mean we love Ripley and Sarah Connor and...eehhh...
GTA 6 has first female character, no other infos.
Chuds: OMG, Rockstar went full woke. LoTR went woke. HOTD went woke. Westworld season 4 is woke.
Black Panther Wakanda Forever trailer focused on women, omg it is woke too.
It never stops.

to show a different era of miami, a city with a very diverse culture and lots of interesting things? that's a bit more interesting than showing the same 40 year old decade we've seen a million times.
pre gtav, people said call of duty had basically replaced gta and it would never sell as much.
bruh there's women across the US that have CELEBRATED their loss of reproductive rights
complaining about a "woke" video game character is some fucking minor shit
Right? GTA 6 will break a billion dollars in a couple days, if not on the day of release alone.
Just you wait when it sells 100mi units in 3 minutes and people will say it was a flop because it didn't sell 101mi.
"Give us a male to play as" said without a hint of irony really is something isn't it?
Like damn, can't remember the last game where I played as a white man. Oh wait it was almost all of them since the dawn of time.

Maybe they mean "relatively broke". So instead of raking in enough money to match the budget of a minor country, it will only generate enough profits to match the budget of a large city.
Conservative women constantly advocate against their own self interests.
Is this legit? I don't think anybody is genuinely stupid enough to think the next GTA won't sell absolutely gangbusters.
Weird right wing people who complain about videogame violence and its influence will suddenly be upset when this game gets released. They will pretend they love video games and GTA all along.
The GAF thread full of people saying they can't relate to playing as a black man and everything involved in that (music, fashion, motivations) was certainly something.
Changed my original post to be a link to the tweet in question rather than a screencap, but - yes, it's legit.
To be fair it is not a new thing. They have been saying it for years, because of major leads being female.
There've been people calling Westworld "woke" as early as Season 1 when Maeve started having some character agency.
If you want a really dumb example in Songs of Conquest discord we had a fellow show up and say SoC having auto-battle is woke.
It seems to have become a catch-all "I don't like this" for alt-right types.

They should have had a female protagonist earlier and ripped this stupid band-aid off years ago.
She's playing to her base. Thats all this shit is. Take any and every issue and turn it into something divisive because thats red meat to these pathetic incels and losers. They get played for fools. These idiots think something is "woke" because people on the internet tell them it is.
