grifters like The Quartering already made videos talking about how GTA IS WOKE!!!!!!!! and twitter comments are full of retards mad because woman, don't act like these people don't exist
Video games are basically over, aren't they? At least in the west.

No, I do NOT want to play as yet another generic "Strong Female Protagonist" number 9001, for a series like GTA, I want to play as a cool GUY.

I check out completely when it's one of these modern generic "strong female characters" ala Horizon Zero Dawn or whatever, they're fucking boring, those type of characters are just plain fucking BORING.

You can make a female character interesting, I love Haunting Ground, Rule of Rose, Clock Tower, Fatal Frame and Silent Hill 3, all of which use the vulnerability of their female protagonists to great effect to enhance the horror, because when playing a HORROR game you want to feel disempowered and vulnerable.

GTA on the other hand is a POWER FANTASY and specifically one about the world of CRIMINALS and naturally that's going to resonate more when playing as a guy, Saints Row aside where it only worked there because everything was already so cartoonish, GTA has a different tone, at least starting with 4.

My point being shoving generic "strong female characters" into everything regardless of context is some GRADE A BULLSHIT and I'm fucking sick to death of it.

Maybe Rockstar can make it work, time will tell, but I sincerely doubt it, everything Woke touches it turns into watered down and BORING bullshit, enough is fucking enough.
If I want to have strong female characters I'll just stick with jrpgs going forward at least the Japs can give us westerners plenty of best waifu material.

The peak has passed for Western games the only thing that we can do is just learn to accept playing as some chick in games now. It wasn't all that bad look at Tomb Raider. Guys like playing as chicks since they have full control over them just not in bed. Lol

I don't give a shit if the main character is a woman or Latina or whatever the fuck as long as they're well written.

I'm concerned that they're saying they won't be "punching down" anymore, which is code for "we're going to make all the satire and the narrative really boring, safe, and one sided" which is the opposite of GTA.

Plus, GTA Definitive Edition is a bad omen on the quality of the studio.
 
I don’t really care that GTA6 will have a Latina protagonist, but you already know with how the modern day is that they’ll make it super preachy and “look at how diverse our protagonist is!” I’ve also heard that GTA6 will avoid making jokes about minorities, so prepare for the downfall of GTA because now Take Two and Rockstar are cucked.
Exactly. Here in Current Year, if the first thing we learn about a character is their race & gender, they are guaranteed to be a stereotype. The new protagonist is a Latina? Alright, so that means:
  • she'll be super smart, probably the smartest in her group
  • will appear unfit and dumpy, but in action will somehow be ultra athletic
  • snarky
  • easily the most competent person in the room at all times
  • obnoxious hair
  • not ultra hideous but by no means attractive
  • piercings and tattoos, of course
  • at least one screenshot or a clip from the trailer will show a close-up of her face smirking
  • countless articles praising her for FIGHTING THE PATRIARCHY or some shit for not being a sexy character at all
  • but she'll have a big ol' butt anyway
  • at least once, she'll indirectly trash a fan favorite character from the series which'll piss people off. My bet's on Tommy Vercetti
It's pretty amazing how we've all been trained to imagine exactly one stereotype if a character is announced to be a Latina, due to inherent racism baked into wokeness. The concept of her being a flawed, realistic person who doesn't always succeed would be called racist by the very retards championing this, and when the concept of a flawless minority woman is the only acceptable character, you end up with the exact same character for absolutely everything. Characters without flaws, no matter what, are never interesting, because there are no stakes to be had. There's not the slightest risk of her being killed, crippled, or significantly damaged in any way from the get-go, so her character arc can't possibly go anywhere. It's very sexist that such strong rules exist for Latinas in fiction, though not for guys (of any race), but that's how it just is now.

All it took was for them to say "It's a Latina, cry more chuds", and every last one of us know EXACTLY what the entire plot is going to be. For a game that we've been awaiting for years now. From a series where the newest entry is 9 years old. Where the original creators left the company years ago. And that company just added a subscription service to the online side of their 9-year-old game.

GTA is dead. We are witnessing the death of a beloved franchise in real time, as it slowly slips into the woke lava that equalizes all entertainment, turning it all into a worthless toxic slop that you dare never touch. We're all standing by the lava, some of us sobbing, tightly holding onto our old GTA games because we'll always have those. The Last Stand fumbled and dropped his copy of San Andreas PS2 into the lava, but at least he can buy an extra copy for cheap because there were so many made, because GTA was such a beloved series for decades. Now, though, that's all over. TPTB want the exact same Mary Sue as the protagonist for every single piece of entertainment within their reach, and, once again, they're getting their wish. I will not be buying Grand Theft Auto VI. Bring on Yakuza 8 instead.
 
Okay, who (besides @Dom Cruise) is upset about GTA having a female protagonist?
Depends on how they do it. It'd be tough to pull off convincingly and without cringe under the best of circumstances. Since they're seemingly tiptoeing around SJW landmines now I see no way she's done well.
 
Retarded plot idea by me:
Elizabeta somehow managed to get out from prison and starts new life in Vice City
She got less fat due of how shit prison food is and still has connections from liberty city era, still got know-how from her criminal career
So she just go crazy and be a drug lord, take over Vice City by killing her opponents

Edit:grammar correction
 
The only ones I can think of who didn't sell out are Trey Parker and Matt Stone.

I'm replaying 5 now, and IMO the jokes have aged well. Speaking of Parker and Stone, it feels like an equal-opportunity offender.
Have you actually fucking WATCHED South Park in the last couple of years?

1. PC Principal got a face turn and now exists solely to get shit on complete with knocking up his Vice Principal (a moderate called "Strong Woman") and the two having "PC Babies"

2. They wholesale backslid on the idea of global warming being a lie complete with forcing the kids to apologize for mocking Al Gore

3. They explicitly had Garrison rape/kill a Canadian Donald Trump (not Justin Trudeau as TV shows are forbidden to mock him) then spent several seasons shitting on Trump via Garrison complete with mocking his biggest supporters (The Whites, who has nothing but bad shit happen to them) and doing a bit where the town has to be told point blank "you can't joke or outright state you want to kill Trum... I mean Garrison because people will try and cancel you").

4. Trey and Matt EXPLICITLY writing the 2016 election season storyline with Hillary winning because "no one thinks Trump will win" in their Hollywood circles

5. Oh and the reason they made Garrison into a Trump stand-in is "we don't want to give Trump any publicity by having him be a character on the show" even though they spent the entire Trump Presidency whining about how "making Garrison President ruined their ability to use Garrison as a character" even though they fucking had a huge gap between seasons where they could have dropped Garrison running for President, but opted NOT TO because they REFUSED to make Trump a South Park character.

I tried to overlook a lot of that shit but they're definitely worming it into SP too, of all things.
 
I can't wait to see how they tie Roe v. Wade and lockdowns into all of this. I wonder if they'll make a parody of DeSantis since it's based on Miami. I hope the twitter people get their proper representation. I'd also be shocked if they didn't go even further with Republican Space Rangers.

Who will they kill off this time ala Trevor with Johnny K?

I think Roman, our favourite cousin, will face the might of the Latino Liberator, murdering him after it comes out on 'Shitter' (get it?) he has committed several historic sex crimes. A true #MeToo inspired murder.

Since Roman can die in one of IV's endings, I doubt they'd bring him back.

More likely they'll bring Niko back (without a voice) and he'll die to a random mook that the Latina Liberator dispatches with ease.
 

These people don't remember or don't want to remember how every kid in the world played GTA SA and didn't give a shit they are playing as a black guy, hell, they even liked him. It's not character being female or black that's the issue, it's the people writing them being shit duhversity equity writers with an agenda to push that makes people not even want to consider female protagonist.

I had the displeasure of watching star wars ep7, and the mary sue from that movie is the default modern wahman character. She is the smartest, most talented, greatest fighter. Luke had to train, but #girlboss knew how to use lightsaber and fix and fly millenium falcon instantly.
 
I wonder if there will even be a talk radio station since Lazlow left. Those were one of the things I consistently enjoyed throughout the series.
There will be but it'll be nothing but Trump insults ("I'm so glad that America is on the right track again after, ahem, HE left office.") and all of the callers will be rednecks, incels and conservatives. Any liberal characters calling into the station will be at worst treated as mildly misguided by the subject, but will be still well meaning and correct.

Hate to be that old fag, but there was a shit ton of negative reactions when San Andreas was first revealed. Old timer GTA fans at the time were pissed because San Andreas was supposed to be San Francisco and they thought it'd be in the 70's there, but you also had tons of kids pissed off they were playing a black man. One of the big things that ended up being mocked was the phrase "I can't relate to playing as a black character!" And there were even a lot of people complaining that GTA was supposed to be about the Mafia not street gangs, etc. etc.

Actually seeing some of the negative reaction over a female/latina is really taking me back to those early early times in Summer 2004. It wasn't until the game released that all those voices were completely shut down.

Anyways, I know this is big news now because Michael Malice is using it to troll.
