Why is casual racism/sexism more accepted in Grand Theft Auto than other games (these days)?

The defence everyone seems to come up with is "sure, the game hates women and minorities, but it hates everyone else too so that's ok". I'm far from convinced that does make it ok, but it muddies the water enough for them to get away with it.
― JimD, Saturday, 28 September 2013 08:05 (ten years ago) link
most people seem to claim "it's satire", and when you explain that it's pretty difficult to do satirical racism and misogyny when there's no sense that the game or any of its developers disapprove of it they get real defensive

Somebody could probably get a good feature out of exploring the way-different vibes that GTA vs Saints Row take with their characters and the difference between the sexy/sexist breakdown happens.

Oooh, this is a good key word: "hateful". Nothing in SR seems hateful at all. The entire game is a pisstake.

I've never seen that site before but I love that all the comments list the title and studio of each commenter; it means I can look up what work people with cool opinions have done or are doing :~)

fortunately dude is mostly reasonable so it's more "I disagree with that post you linked" rather than "obviously the guy who wrote that is the real racist"

The game's concept was developed by Irrational's creative lead, Ken Levine, and was based on the ideas of Objectivism as highlighted by Ayn Rand, while incorporating influences from other authors such as George Orwell.
― original bgm, Monday, 21 October 2013 16:15 (ten years ago) link
the first one was more of a "critique" of objectivism than "based on"

first one was great. it did drag on a bit too long and the gameplay was so-so FPS junk, but those are minor complaints in what was an excellent package. I still have to get to the second one

this is what you need to do. cue up a video of ken levine discussing the depth of the storyline you are failing to grasp. have that playing a loop on your headset as you go through the game. then report back to me on if you still hate it.
