Multiplat Grand Theft Auto V

"Nicole, of Perth, argues that exposure to this type content changes players’ brains and makes them more likely to engage in violence against women."

What do I even say to this.

She deserves a slap across the face

Uh oh....

Lmao you were blasting me with your plane. Finally got you in my tank when I hid under the under pass at the casino/race track then got you back a few times. I didnt notice the red part to signify it was a crew member until I took the bounty off you.

What is pissing me off though is on ps3 everytime a tank killed me I had to pay my own insurance. Now every time I blow someones car I pay and get the bad sport warnings. Pretty ridiculous IMO. Why is damaging a insured car worse than raking someones life so young?

GTA encourages murder as much as 50 shades of grey encourages rape................... it doesn't.

Why do people have to be so god damn stupid.

I just got done reading the article, and that woman is just.. stupid. Correct me if I'm wrong, but is there actually any mission in the game that requires you to have sex with a prostitute and kill them for your money back? If there's not, then there is absolutely no incentive for players to do what she's complaining about, it's purely the player's choice to do so. I just want everyone of the complaining people to be asked 'how did you find out about the graphic violence in the game?' and I absolutely know most of them would say 'I saw my child playing it.' Congratulations for being a stupid parent, and an idiot to the world.

Totally agree with the petitions, it could have saved me thousands of dollars. Everyday I find myself delribately smashing into other cars. My excess bills are through the roof. Also have a bunch of speeding fines and red light fines. I'm also on bail after breaking into the airport last night looking for a chopper. Tried to shoot the arresting officer but I was weighed down so much because I had 10 different guns in my back pack and 9000 bullets. It's a heavy ****er.


Seriously moronic people. There's only one thing I'd copy from gta to real life. And that is to sniper protesters trying to saves trees and other assorted crap

 

[Chops18]

It makes me laugh that her concern was violence against women. She sounds like Franklins aunty, feminazi

Just made me think of this scene.

“It is exceptionally triggering for survivors, to see it advertised on buses and to go into businesses and see it on the shelves,”

Haha that was the scene I was thinking of when typing that.

To be fair we all know there was no violence before video games.

You wouldn't believe how much CoD Jack the Ripper played.

I suppose Target is gonna donate the profits they have made from the game to survivor support groups.

The best part is the timing target have sold over 90% of the copies they are gonna sell anyway

 

[pantskyle]

Yeah it is pointless by Target. Rockstar have already made over a billion, sales now would be limited.

 

[blackshadow]

The Target ban will more than likely increase sales because it's put GTA into the news. I reckon Rockstar are delighted with the free publicity they're getting.

It's truly amazing that such a large decision can be made on such erroneous information, but there you go.

Agree with this, people will find it amusing and cool the amount of detail the game has. People are smart enough to know the difference between killing something and have blood spat all of the screen and actually killing a person in real life. You simply cant compare the two. It takes something relly %^&$#$ to have it in you to kill anything breathing other than an insect and those people were doomed from the beginning.

 

[blackshadow]

I would love to see Rockstar put out a cheeky media release thanking Target for the extra publicity and sales...

 

[Father Jack]

I just don't understand what they wanted to achieve out of this. The people who made the petition clearly have never played the game and have probably just seen a gameplay video, but they've really stopped no one from buying the game and have likely only hardened video game players against their position, the people who they purport to be so concerned about. Why are people so willingly ignorant?

 

[E92_]

Apparently Kmart have also pulled it.

WTF is wrong with these campaigners?

 

[Father Jack]

Nicole, one of women behind the petition who was abused when she was worked in the sex industry, said the game promoted the idea that women deserved to be “sexually abused by men and potentially murdered for sport and pleasure”. She also argued that the game portrayed women as “stupid” and “inane”.

'Stupid' and 'inane' are exactly the two words I'd use to describe the petition.

Also, lulz at this being the top story on news.com.au, replete with game trailer for the next gen versions. Rockstar must be loving these former prostitutes.

Well maybe she shouldn't have sucked dick for money as a job.

I think that opinion is stupid. What someone does for a job doesn't justify abusing them. Unless they work for Facebook. However:

said the game promoted the idea that women deserved to be “sexually abused by men and potentially murdered for sport and pleasure”. She also argued that the game portrayed women as “stupid” and “inane”.

That is equally as stupid.

She can hardly be all high and mighty now when that was her job.

Why?

 

[pantskyle]

Why?

She wouldn't have paid any taxes.

Oh well that settles it then.
