The more I think about R* re-releasing GTAV in 2021 with its transphobia presumably intact, the angrier I get. They'd better take measures to address it. Normalizing transphobia sucked in 2013 but they could get away with it then. More people understand how harmful it is now.

Don't remember anything too buuuut, for me it's like HBO/any platform deleting OLD movies that were racist or touched racist themes. It's a product, a REFLECTION of the years it was done, altering it, hiding it or trying to "fix" it, it's wrong. We should see it that way

Yeah yr talking about something that will be sold as an entertainment product and earn probably 100s of millions of $ in which transphobic players will get to live out their fantasies of brutalizing trans people while IRL trans people are routinely brutalized and killed. Eff that

If you think there will be more players who think “Hmm what a shame transphobia was more acceptable then, what a valuable historical record this is” than players who think “Hahaha this is awesome! I can still murder the fucking tranny abominations!” you’re sorely out of touch.

it was for me! but i also wanted to know about the transphobia in GTA V, don't remember anything too. But i'm a really open minded gamer and don't notice a lot of that kind of stuff (or see it "different" i mean), that's why i replied with your reply :v

You can do your own research on these matters, but here is a video of one player enjoying exacting violence on trans NPCs. There are other examples on YouTube as well of players deliberately brutalizing and killing trans characters. For fun! Yay!https://youtu.be/egPpXoK9684
