Grand Theft Auto VI — the most anticipated video game release of all time — has promised to be more “culturally sensitive” as Rockstar works to become a more “progressive” company. The Grand Theft Auto series has long been known for crass satire that targets all groups. GTA VI — which has been anticipated for close to a decade — will be the first series entry to feature a playable female character. The famous outlaw couple Bonnie and Clyde will serve as the basis for the game’s main duo, according to a recent Bloomberg article.

Fans have largely been fine with a female protagonist, but a company promise to cut down on “culturally insensitive jokes” that target “marginalized groups” has fans up in arms.

Battlefield 1 was absolutely amazing and took years to produce, but what a disappointment battlefield 5 was. Once you sell out, you never recover.

Graphic sex and violence, but by golly- don’t use any terms that might hurt someone’s precious delicate feelings lol-

This world has gone all sissified- whatever happened to ‘sticks and stones may break my bones, but words’ll never hurt me”?

but a company promise to cut down on “culturally insensitive jokes”

But probably no ban against jokes about MAGA patriots, 2nd Amendment understanders, Southerners, hicks, rednecks, hillbillies, straight sexers, etc.

I’m far more concerned about the culturally SENSITIVE jokes wandering around undermining civilization by being Woke.

so will profits

Some investor in Rockstar should ask the question: how many millions of dollars will it cost the company to be inoffensive by some lights?

Set a number, and if the costs go higher than that, fire everyone at Rockstar who pushed for being inoffensive.

If they cost a fortune, they are a corporate cancer that needs to be excised completely.

Brand suicide. Instead of “New Coke” “New GTA.”

I wonder how old the people are who decided this?
