MODERATORS
I mean GTA has been surprisingly decent on social issues, so ofc conservatives will cry about it now that they know they can get money from being a whiny baby.
San Andreas had a black protagonist and the main antagonists were cops (and to an extent a CIA operative coercing CJ to do domestic terrorism). One of the major supporting characters is a blind Chinese man. Can you imagine Shapino et al's reaction if it came out in 2023?
Woke Rockstar virtue signals to communists by forcing a black protagonist allied with disabled Chinese NPC to kill white people! The most prominent white person that's not an antagonist is a liberal anti government pro drug hippie!
GTA 6 could be half as subversive as GTA SA and get ten times the reactionary outcry.
I remember when the PC version of SA came out and almost immediately there was a mod to turn CJ white
remember, these are the people who cry so much about people "blackwashing" characters
