Rumors have surfaced that the latest Grand Theft Auto game will have female protagonists. As could be expected by such a controversial news, there has been much outrage. According to one scientific poll, nearly half of the respondents either would not buy such a game, or would buy it but believed it was suck. Such perspectives are, of course, understandable, but the Daily Rager has taken time to get some of the individuals unique perspectives on it.
“I’m concerned,” says one gamer, who wished to remain anonymous. “This move will undermine women, it debases them to such a degree. I hate to see that happen. I mean, yeah, sure, you already can solicit prostitutes then beat them with baseball bats to get your cash back. That’s one thing. But you going to cross into whole new territory in making the crazy psycho who steals cars and blows s**t up a woman.”
Another gamer took a completely different approach, “There’s a certain persona that goes with being a street criminal. I mean, they can do stripper, and hookers. I think they even once did a Mafioso wife, right? But can they really make someone who fits the person of a criminal type who cracks heads? I seriously doubt it.”
When asked about his favorite game in the franchise, he stated GTA 3 was probably his favorite, “Good game play, awesome antagonist, you know? I hated Catalina. She was a great opponent.”
“This s**t will ruin games with the PC bulls**t!” yet another commentator says. “Look, PC, gender equality, whatever the f**k else the libtards send our way, is ruining games. Forcing me to use a woman to mow down pedestrians in my stolen cop car is just giving into the bleeding heart. I can’t really take serious a girl committing casual murder of a cop for his pistol. It’ll totally ruin the immersion as I wait the couple of minutes to
lose the wanted heat.”
Update: When asked for opinions about favorability of the game if female protagonist could still hire female prostitutes and hook up with female companions support for
female poll numbers shifted to a 79% approval rating for female protagonist.
