‘Grand Theft Auto 5‘ Remastered has seemingly removed some ‘transphobic content’ including negative depictions of transpeople from the game, including NPCs, an arcade item and transphobic character dialogue. This of course, has sparked a lot of replies from gamers who are calling out the hypocrisy of the title.
The GTA franchise is known for it’s intense violence, where you can murder civilians, police officers, blow up cars, buy a hooker and many more law breaking activities that are completely unallowed in the real world. Though, that’s what makes the game so popular, is because you can do these things without anyone getting hurt and no repurcussions. So, killing cops is okay, but how dare someone make a joke about a transperson. What about all the other crude jokes in the game? I’m sure there’s someone out there who would be offended by it. Better remove those as well.
‘Grand Theft Auto 5’ Remastered Removes Transphobic Content But Killing Cops And Drugs Are Okay Though
Gamers responded by mocking the GTA developers Rockstar, “So killing cops is ok but jokes is over the line?? Rockstar is becoming a will smith!”, “Lol this is just a sneak peek of what GTA VI will be like.
Rockstar has become a soulless husk of what it used to be.”, “You gotta be kidding me, GTA trying to be politically correct 😂”, “Jokes and stuff like this make gta what it is you cant remove offensive stuff from a game thats motto is the most offensive game out lol wtf is this”, “So sad what made the game what it was is how they cross lines make jokes people have to learn to just take a joke” and “So a game where you steal and kill now wants to be politically correct.”
Rockstar is being mocked and ridiculed beyond belief and rightly so. A video game world were you kill, steal and break every law imaginable wants to make sure you don’t offend a transperson. So, the rest of us can take a joke, but not them? Shouldn’t we be inclusive to everyone? Equal jokes to everyone! You get made of! And you get made of! This is a joke, and GTA Remaster will probably lose a lot of business.
