Getting particular enjoyment out of beating/killing suffragettes in RDR2, or laughing about it and posting it on YT, is fucked up, as is getting particular enjoyment out of beating/killing trans sex workers in GTA 5. This is obvious.

Posting it on YouTube for other people to revel in or find humor in specifically singling out and performing violence on these NPCs is disgusting, as is finding such behavior particularly humorous or satisfying.

As a woman and a trans person who has endured no shortage of hostility for being a woman and a trans person in gaming spaces, I hope people understand why the idea of gamers taking particular glee in brutalizing these characters BECAUSE they are women or trans might concern me.

What is the impulse there? Where does it come from? There is no charitable explanation at all for why a player might enjoy singling out these specific characters and deliberately causing violence to them specifically.
