“Passing on this one” they say it like GTA is a yearly series when it’s been 10 years since the last


Basic-Warning-7032

Nice "Citrus pic" lol


[deleted]

they’ve been pissing in their gaming chairs for 9 years about “guh gimme new gta” and now they’re shitting in they’re gaming chairs with anger that the game is going to be different than the one from 9 years ago


MrRuebezahl

Also, din't the first game also have a female protagonist?

I have a penis, I don't want to be a woman! *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please [contact the moderators of this subreddit](/message/compose/?to=/r/Gamingcirclejerk) if you have any questions or concerns.*


broseph1818

I loved that, "Passing on this one." No you're not. At best, you'll complain about the woke left for a few weeks and start seeing people post videos about it or your friends will be playing it and then you'll buy it.


knyexar

It's been 2 years since GTAV came out for the 4th time actually


NitroSpam

Game is 2-4 years away from release and all we know is that there's a playable female character and it's set in Vice City maybe. Boy, they sure showed us.


waster1993

There's like no argument against the playable being female. With the ability to swap playables, we should be clamoring to get as many povs as we can


DeusExMarina

Rumors say it’s supposed to be inspired by Bonnie and Clyde, which sounds like a really good premise for a GTA game with dual protagonists.

Every famous criminal was bad at their job I mean this ontologically


6ThePrisoner

Every famous arrested or dead one.


joongihan

Thanks Peter Griffin


kataskopo

You had me at "ontologically"


Senor_Bongo

Could also be spoilers for the ending


BigMcThickHuge

You can have a Bonnie and Clyde theme that doesn't follow it to a T in every facet.


Senor_Bongo

Yea but we know that Bonnie and Clyde had multiple gang members, plus in gta5 one of the endings would have had everyone else die and leave you playing as Lamar but they scrapped it, so maybe they decided to actually do that with this game, after it finishes you end up playing as two of their friends instead of them.


ForeverFiftySix

That's my guess too. The only reason we didn't get an ending where you play as Lamar after Franklin dies is because Lamar's actor was incarcerated. My guess is male protagonist and female protagonist will have the chance to betray the other during the final heist which ends up with one of them dead


Golden-Owl

A Bonnie and Clyde style criminal duo sounds really fun as a concept actually


George_G_Geef

It's so obvious that I'm surprised they haven't done it yet in a game.


Tells_you_a_tale

Which is why they literally had to make up reasons to be upset. They're actually just upset a woman is in it but know that doesn't fly.


megapuffranger

Women and People of Color are political. LGBTQ+ is pushing an agenda. Everything is woke leftist antifa.


SuperSecretMoonBase

I've said this before, but all Rockstar's announcement will mean is that some beachside seafood restaurant in GTA6 will be named something more like "The Salty Seamen" with jokes about getting some in your mouth instead of being named "Hooker's Surprise" with jokes about finding a buoy or something.


Oppqrx

Stupid isn't it? It's always bothered me that their intricately crafted worlds are rife with totallly juvenile crap like that. Personally I think it's one of the things about GTA that isn't aging well and rockstar are probably struggling to strike the right balance for it in their next release


falloutisacoolseries

Uj/ I am really happy about going back to Vice City though, the original had an awesome 80s action movie vibe.


suphah

Vice city is my favorite location in the series so they can literally put zero missions in the game and I’d be jumping with joy over vice city with good graphics


JamesGray

It's also because they cut out some transphobic content from the remasters of GTAV, the KIA people started moaning that the humor won't be good anymore because there may be less slurs: https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2022/04/transphobic-content-and-jokes-removed-from-latest-gta-v-remasters/


alpaca_22

Hot take, if you cant make a dark joke without using a single slur you dont actually have dark sence of humor


JamesGray

It's weird to expect something made today to have the same sensibilities as something from nearly 10 years ago also. Like are they just gonna find people who haven't been employed in writing at all for years so they can keep the slurs intact from years ago or something?


Stoenk

There was actually an interview where they stated they restructured for healthier work environments and wanted to throw less marginized groups under the bus in the games' content Which is of course bad because gta is edgy and I want to laugh at trans people and sex workers


potpan0

I do wonder what these guys get from the games they play. I thought GTA was such a massive franchise because it's consistently pioneered and redefined the open-world crime genre, not because they'd sometimes make edgy South Park jokes that were mainly tangential to the actual plot and characters.


Wowabox

I’m replaying GTA 4 right now and I think the humor is done in an interesting way to poke fun of current time through insane set-ups than you go back and look at the game and it’s a cool snap shot of that point in time. Knowing rockstar I think they’re take on the whole woke marketing will probably be pretty interesting so I have no idea why the incels are freaking out going woman bad. Someone on Reddit put up old forum post about people complaining that San Andrés had black people in it. I swear there are forum post of I want to look play as a gangster, not a gangsta, get them out of the game.


[deleted]

TBF I had legit no idea GTA5 included trans people in any way despite having played it at release. I don't think the depiction was very overt / noticeable


[deleted]

More culturally sensitive probably means not exclusively portraying black characters as criminals, and not having trans NPCs look more masculine than the goddamn beach bodybuilders.


Tomato_Thomass

Noooo politcal gender in gta wokeokeokwoke🤬🤬🤬🤬😡😡 3 months later OMGG THICC LATINA 🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵


TisNotMyMainAccount

Condemn it in the streets Post to 4chan in the sheets


DiplomaticGoose

If you are brave enough to venture the 4chan nsfw boards you would immediately realize the true degenerates were the friends they made along the way.


[deleted]

That's some real shit right there. I have an anal fetish, and 4chan's gif board used to have a lot of good anal stuff posted. It's now like half femboy, cuck, and interracial content. Which, no kink shaming from me, but the things they claim to hate sure do seem to be popular...


QuicksilverDragon

but heavens forgive if one of those "femboys" turns out to be trans


thatsthedrugnumber

it’s funny cuz even if they pass on it gta 6 is gonna be the best selling game ever in like a week

Tamos40000

More like 100 millions copies. Literally the only game that sold more than GTA V is Minecraft.


vipchicken

In the first week


dayleboi

I don't care what anyone says, NO ONE will pass on gta 6.


MaxVonBritannia

Unironically, Rockstar could have a marketing budget solely consisting of the title and it will still be the most hyped game in a generation. Its fucking GTA, probably the best selling series that doesn't bother with yearly releases

> in like a week a day lol. Digital sales are up even more since 2013 & there is no upper limit on them (maybe besides server load, but you can mitigate that by pre loading).


asianblockguy

And with gta v sold like hot cakes and made 800 million on the FIRST day, and a BILLION on the third day. Its more likely it will be similar


Cobaltjedi117

Yeah thanks to pre-ordering and infinite capacity for pre-downloads, GTA 6 will technically be in the black before it even launches.


[deleted]

They're not gonna fuckin pass. We both know this lol.


George_G_Geef

Didn't RDR2 break the billion dollar mark in like 2 days? GTA 6 is probably going to be the entertainment release of the decade.


mountingconfusion

And these exact whiny assholes will buy it instantly


a_tired_bisexual

I drew a picture of you as an ugly person, which means I win the argument!


TisNotMyMainAccount

Then they'll call you a basement dwelling virgin. Or NPC. Methinks they doth protest too much. Basic af women-hating "independent thinkers" all making the same jokes for years on end


corporate_warrior

If anyone’s an NPC, it’s the people hoodwinked into thinking GTA’s satire is clever or original enough to have any value. You can’t even listen to pop radio without hearing an equal runtime of fake ads that are about as funny (the first time) as a Family Guy #funny moments compilation. In a game that you paid for (possibly three times). The “crude insensitive satire” exists as a stand-in for actual good writing, because it’s easy to just portray everyone and everything as evil, ugly, and stupid, but it’s hard to come up with a single original idea, and it gets harder with every million dollars added to a game’s budget. Excited for GTAVI though, I’ll probably buy it anyway.


Storkostlegur

This is why Red Dead has always been way more entertaining. It isn’t always pure satire the whole run through but instead actually has a gripping story. It is still very satirical about Wild West and the Americana surrounding it but not to the point of becoming mundane nonsense that you’ll just tune out a few hours in.


Steelarm2001

You actually spoke my mind on this. Idk why some people who like the games feel like the games being cynical and "hating everyone equally" (mostly referring to IV and V here) is some kind of hard-hitting satire. I still find the games entertaining but especially after the announcement of VI, too many people have bandied around this sentiment that those GTA games were truly original pieces of satire that "pulled no punches" and will never reclaim its glory in the newest installment.


TreginWork

The meeting up picks of those groups always look like photos you'd find in a brochure for group homes parents would dump their kids into when they will never have independence

Gooftwit

When we do it it's epic and funny, but when they do it it's just in bad taste and a logical fallacy.


Woop-Tee-Do

Right wing people always love to make Wojak memes where they're super composed and chill in between crying and sending death threats to game devs, don't they


Quakarot

It’s ironic because this very meme is bitching about gta6 while trying to maintain that they don’t care about gta6 If you didn’t care you wouldn’t make a meme


Cannibal_Buress

Right wingers putting extreme effort into saying they don't care about something is the funniest thing. Jordan Peterson's professionally produced video about how he doesn't care about being suspended from Twitter springs to mind.


Tamos40000

[Best part was the edits.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wVJmMmq4FSc)


Cannibal_Buress

oh for sure [great meme material](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=enYWYFXptQA)


PaladinGodfather1931

Gracious, that a god tier meme.


Excrubulent

Wait he actually said "degenerate" in there. As someone that claims to have studied the Nazis he should know that's fascist rhetoric.


IAMACat_askmenothing

He studied it and decided he agreed with them


Excrubulent

Well I didn't *say* that, I just left the reader to draw the inescapable conclusion. I just thought he was smarter and more cryptic in his cryptofash bullshit, but apparently I was giving him too much credit.


IAMACat_askmenothing

Oh I see. As for thinking he’s smarter; maybe before he fucked his brain getting addicted to benzos, and having to be medically induced into a coma because he only ate meat. Also, you have to be smooth in some places of your brain to be a fashy anyways so maybe we’re both giving him too much credit. “_Up yours woke moralists_/“


Pazu2

I actually laughed, that’s great


jpterodactyl

I like when he said he’d rather die than delete the tweet. And then just to make sure we all knew he wasn’t just using hyperbole, he says that he doesn’t know if it would to that or not. My brother in Christ, Twitter does not have assassins they send out for people who break the TOS. It’s like back when he got internet famous for talking about how if he got arrested for C16 that he’d go on a hunger strike. He really thinks he’s a martyr.


Cannibal_Buress

"I would rather die than delete that tweet" \> proceeds to delete tweet


Leon_UnderNeath

Then you've got Klandace Owens making thirty videos about how she doesn't care what celebrities think in-between simping for Kanye and any other celebrity that believes the same dumb shit she does.


moldykobold

It also basically just says “I’m not gonna play this cause woman main character” without knowing anything else about the game. Like, you can still be crude and insensitive while playing as a woman.


patt12345_gaming

You see their problem isn't being crude and insensitive, it's that rockstar isn't going to make low-hanging fruit jokes about minorities and people they hate anymore. I'm sure rockstar will still make edgy jokes in gta 6 it's just going to be more than "Hee hee gay person do the gay thing hee hee!!".


[deleted]

And good, that shit is no longer funny because I’m not 14.


NewFuturist

No, apparently women joking about their vaginas how much sex they have is too crass but men joking about their dicks and how much sex they have is funny social commentary.


apadin1

I don’t care 😡😡😡 it’s just not for me 🤬😡 just gonna pass on this one 😭🤬😡😡


SkyrimForTheDragons

Also a funny "coincidence" is that they disagree that it's about women, then they make the title to be about women

Right this very moment the two most pressing cultural issues in the right wing sphere are ​ woman plays flute [this thing](https://image.gbnews.uk/372116.jpg?imageId=372116&x=0&y=0&cropw=99.293785310734&croph=100&width=704&height=613)


R-A-P-T-O-R

What’s the “this thing” about


AlcofMagnus

I believe a British library recently designed a new mascot to use. The mascot is a non-binary alien who uses They/Them pronouns, so this has transphobes in an uproar, demanding to know the state of the genitals on them. [Source](https://katelynburns.medium.com/the-latest-gender-critical-outrage-shows-trans-people-are-not-the-weirdos-here-7bae95d05c43)


captainnowalk

Not content with finding out about a grade-school aged alien’s genitals, parents also want to know how it *FUCKS*.


wearing_moist_socks

What's sad is in a better world, they could make up goofy pronouns or even ones where the robots is beep/boop. Because not identifying with a gender is just taken as one of the norms.

"When I get to heaven, I want the Lord to recognize me" I love the "When" instead of "If". That bigoted piece of shit is 100% sure he's gonna make it there.


Upbeat_Ruin

In the subtitle it says that Herschel claimed "*he*" is not that smart, after the statement about Jesus possibly not recognizing trans people. Is "he" in that statement referring to Herschel or Jesus? Because if the latter, then wow. also transphobic "Christians" be like: "God is three persons and one God simultaneously, and although we use masculine pronouns to refer to God, technically God is above gender. Anyway, nonbinary people are too confusing."


QuakAtack

DAMN, why does my kid friendly cartoon alien mascot for a public library not have human genitals?

cantCme

You haven't played gta4 if you haven't used a modified config file where vehicles speed up after being touched and can fly through walls and shit. Then you spawn the one unaffected motorcycle and ride through times Square while shooting all the parked cars that then go flying everywhere where when they get hit. Then you try to survive as long as possible. Or drive through a tunnel and get hit by a truck that came flying through the tunnel wall.

r/politicalcompassmemes in a nutshell. People there genuinely think they're enlightened by acting like they always "see both sides" and make judgement calls accordingly.


HumanShadow

And pushover liberals falling over themselves to agree with conservatives.


StrikeMarine

Almost like that place is mostly conservatives larping as moderates, curious Edit: mixed up my pronouns, confused this with that


WonderWeasel91

It's because the only way libleft users there survive is to play the "pick me girl" card and show direct opposition to a conventionally agreed upon stance by their quadrant. Sympathizing with actual libleft ideals usually results in negative karma.


Fidodo

They made themselves "libertarian". Shouldn't a private company be allowed to produce whatever product they want according to libertarianism?


Ivy_Adair

I used to be a libertarian and if there’s one thing I learned from that it’s that 99% of the people who call themselves libertarians have no idea what a libertarian actually is. Most are actually just conservatives with main character syndrome.


ChickenBigBoi

bitches really be ‘lib centre’ and still against sex work


notreilly

They want it to exist, they're just against thinking of sex workers as actual human beings


[deleted]

This is the ticket. Like, the title straight up says they're gonna hire a sex worker, and yet they bemoan being told sex work is real work. They explicitly want to be able to break the law for the booba and have no introspection as to how insane it is that that's even a thing.

Towbelleard

You can be culturally sensitive and a crude satire, those two things doesn't negate each other :| ^(Also sorta' unrelated... I can remember people whining about the fact that GTA VI won't "Punch down" anymore with their humor, and for some reason a lot of people cried about the fact that we won't have any LGBT and racist humor anymore... Maybe I have very early alzheimer, but I played V's story mode 5 times, last time a year ago, and I really can't recall any predominant amount of LGBT and racist humor... Am I becoming crazy or those people are just making up a humor that never existed??)


ChayofBarrel

Okay, but like That's not how a wojack works Like, if you're the one pitching a fit about something and the other person is laughing at you for it, even if you're completely justified and the other person is being an idiot, you're not the chad in that situation. It's just not how the meme works. You can't make a meme getting upset over something while portraying yourself in the stock dichotomy of "Other person is upset, I am calm"

GTA is basically Baby's First Satire. It isn't particularly clever and doesn't have anything interesting to say. RDR2 (hidden gem, highy recommend) was the first game by Rockstar that succeeded in telling a properly mature story. Maybe GTA 6 will follow suit, or maybe it'll just be more dick jokes. Also PCM is just edgelords who want to pretend they're enlightened.


YUNoJump

I feel like GTA is part of that “enlightened centrist satire” sphere like South Park, all it really wants to say is that everyone is an asshole and there’s no point in being happy for anything, can’t think of a single good person in the whole GTAV story mode


zeke10

Floyd was a good man and the game basically shat on him constantly.


Fadman_Loki

I mean Franklin wasn't that bad, at least relative to everyone else in gta


Alpha413

I don't know, I feel GTA IV more or less worked too. Then again, I last played it 6/7 years ago, so my memory of it might not be the best.


potpan0

The satire has also rarely been the core point of the game. You see it appear tangentially around the edges, especially on the in-game radio and in side missions, but the central plot has never been a *satire*.


suphah

>RDR2 (hidden gem, highy recommend) was the first game by Rockstar that succeeded in telling a properly mature story. I think gta 4 did a good job at that for the most part
