    Default Grand Theft Auto VI

    Jason Schreier is reporting that GTA6 will have a Latina as it's protagonist

    Predictably this news has not gone well. I look forward to it as the Ballad of Gay Tony is among my favorite GTA narratives and it's lead was Dominican and so were his inner circle. The haters are lying to themselves if they will skip a new GTA over this.

    I think what is making everyone nervous is Rockstar wants to "stop punching down" when it comes to the over the top satire that GTA is known for. https://www.theloadout.com

    It's just a game, and if you are that easily traumatized maybe you shouldn't be playing it?

    I'm in it for the mayhem and the goofy characters. The satire is whatever.

    The goofy characters and mayhem are a part of the satire. GTA and to a lesser extent Saints Row (another game in the process of getting defanged) are send-ups of the culture where no one is spared.

    But enough of that. What is really troubling is that this sounds like it is going to milk the player for cash more than GTA5 ever did while touting progressive bonafides....which sounds like a GTA thing to do.

    The people complaining about this change should also follow this advice.

    A GTA game with a female lead sounds fine to me.
