GTA6's Latina protagonist

why does it matter that she's a latina? to me it sounds like

HEY, EVERYONE, WE GOT THE HECKIN DIVERSITYNERINO!!! SHE'S NOT WHITE!!! YOU HAVE TO LIKE US NOW!!!

That's just marketing, but it matters because marginalized groups want more representation. Whether Rockstar (already a fucked up company like other AAA game companies) follows through on the effort and depicts a positive and meaningful portrayal remains to be seen.

I don't like the advertising without much proof, like Disney's been doing for the past few years, but if GTA VI does a good job, it'll matter to a lot of people who've wanted to see themselves in media.
