I wish GTA V's world weren't so relentlessly, inescapably misanthropic and particularly hateful to women and trans people, because there's a lot about it that would otherwise make it very much a world I might enjoy being out and about in right now.

I wish they’d just be honest that they hate women, trans people, POC, instead of hiding behind the tired old “Hey it’s satire” excuse.

I do think RDR2 was considerably less terrible in this regard, and am curious to see how the identity of GTA evolves with its next installment. I think that attitude is starting to seem tired and bogus to an increasingly large number of people.

Yeah, “generic” theft and murder are quite different than similar crimes that originate from bigotry. Not a fan of the carceral state’s “hate crime” concept, but if you adapt it to a moral framework instead of a legal one, it makes some sense imo

Treachery in beatdown city is a NES-style version of what I wish GTA was. Tons of crime but none of the evil

Definitely, but violent, selfish, needless crime is cut from the same cloth as misogyny and transphobia. The games are just psychopath simulators, basically, and I don't know any psychopaths that aren't also deeply bigoted. I hope there is a better game for you out there
