Dude says one word in the trailer and people are already asking for him to be cut or saying they won't buy the game because of this character. Really weird reaction from some folks around here.

This forum reacts the same way actual racist/reactionary gaming forums do, except they'd say the same thing about a POC protag. A ton of posts about Jason's ethnicity and politics already and as you said, we know nothing about him.

Will he be banned for a correct read of the situation meta commentary or will he slip through the cracks because the thread is moving too fast?

Please make the male protag a fair-skinned Latino. Please!!!!!!

[benji]

Wait, the guy in the GTA VI trailer isn't Latinx too? Like this is confirmed? Fuck. Shit. And I watched that trailer earlier without even knowing. The chuds love sneaking in dogwhistles like this to try and convert people.

This movie is gonna be amazing. We must defend it from the MCU haters, they will attempt to manipulate audiences again. Deadpool has to be a great success!

Thinly disguised troll account is obvious there.

Which one of you set up the BloodRayne account and can I have the password?

I think the only way Rockstar could recover from this right now is to add a POC character that who when you go outside instantly gets a six-star rating and the police try to murder. So yt cishet chud players learn what it's like for every day life as a person of color like Nepenthe.

[books]

Obviously the MC's in GTA6 are trans but not ready to come out yet. Brilliant!

But what if there are people that don't think the same way I do and interpret on a lower level of understanding?

They would need to amend the Equality Act otherwise it would conflict on the single-sex front, but unfortunately that's something both the Tories and Labour have referenced as a desire. If it went through it would force non-passing trans women into leaving the country, detransitioning, being in the closet or dying. Since like, you can't use the toilet at work. Can't buy a wedding dress because you're not allowed in the changing room. Can't attend a mother and child class if you have a kid.

This is how close to the wire it is, and no one knows. Everyone soaks up the news headlines, or is ambivalent at best toward us. Just like no one cares that trans people currently joining the waitlist for trans healthcare face waiting over 20 years for a first appointment. Same for the fact that trans children can't access hormone blockers unless it's as part of a clinical trial. So really, there is no healthcare for trans people on the NHS. No one knows these things, no one is talking about them. Instead we're stuck in an endless whirlpool of debating around where we're allowed to pee or listening to how precious the sanctity of women's sport. Despite these people never having given it a second thought until they could use it to ban us from everything from triathlon to chess, all while ignoring the elements that actually hinder women's sports like underfunding, misogyny and racism. It is so tiring to be in this endless groundhog day while brothers and sisters commit suicide because they can't access healthcare and the rest of us live on a precipice of whether we'll be able to actually live openly in 2 years time.

Gonna need to get a new banning campaign underway to ease the existential pain of being unloveable on account of being such a giant cunt

GTA7 leak of new main character:

[benji]

"We're proud to introduce a character that speaks to the modern generation, she's a furry who turns to crime to fight both the police and to pay off her seven year high-interst car loan."

[Pwnz]

Watch the dude be white Hispanic. My wife is, and most people are oblivious to it. A good portion of Hispanic people have lots of Iberian ancestry.

Even if he's not, so what.

On second thought- new Saints Row main character?

I know a lot of people here are hoping that they satirize the shit out of social media, but considering how important things like TikTok and Instagram are for minority and underprivileged groups I sort of hope they play it more straight this time around when it comes to how it represents those groups.

Bonus:

Maybe I'm getting old. But that was very underwhelming. My expectations were too high I suppose.

I mean, I'm 39 and am completely blown away by this trailer. Age really has nothing to do with this. If it's not your speed, that's fine, but I hate this, "UGH I'M SO OLD CAUSE I DON'T GET THIS I GUESS" attitude.

Ayyyy, fuck you. Legit go fuck yourself. Now some asshole wants that the talk about social media to be in a cordial and unproblematic way. Fuck you and your addiction to twitter and TikTok.

Uh, maybe it's time for the GTA series to push back against white supremacy???

I don't expect much out of Ian but you'd expect Elon to know they aren't real.

Is Elon the target market for the "do crimes for a good cause" Saints Row reboot?

RedMercury responds to the GTA release date:

Man, 2025? I might not even live that long. There's so many people watching the trailer that are super hyped that won't make it that long, anything can happen in a couple years :/

WTF

CASUAL RACISM?!

No. Full-time.

Funny thing people did get banned for saying you can be racist to white people, it's called uhh white people's feelings or something lol

WHITE FRAGILITY. As judged by the most fragile people in the universe.

[Polident]

GTA6 is gonna weaponize social media satire in the worst ways. Press X to leave negative captain marvel 2 review. Stay safe, y’all.

There aren't a billion machines that can run it yet

But by 2025 surely there will be, yes?

PS5 and Xbox Series have currently sold about 68 million consoles combined, so they’re in with a shot if they can just move 932 million units next year.

Racism against yts?  

[Snoopy]

Lol. Since they're banning people for having alt accounts, they might want to take a look at how many Kyuuji's running. Apparently he likes to thank himself for all his hard work.

[Besticus Maximus]

They might just want to ban kyuuji for being an outrageous dickhead tbf

So bizarre, we all know the non uwu mods hate Kyuuji

It's just sad ree's ban council have to come here to find out if someone's trolling them.
