GTA is anti-American
GTA's America feels more like Idiocracy than real America.
Let's not forget these are British games made by Brits who hate America
America is a nation that has produced such statesmen like FDR and Ronald Reagan. Such geniuses like the Wright brothers and Oppenheimer.
America has the world's greatest universities, art galleries, museums. America has some of the world's best writers in its canon as well as other artists such as painters and architects
>inb4 it's satire
Satire has to be grounded in reality. GTA's "American culture" doesn't even feel American, the characters talk in a flowery, fruity way like Brits do, because they're written by Brits. A lot like the dialogue in Cyberpunk but everyone acknowledges that about Cyberpunk
In GTA everyone is a dumb paparazzo or a Kardashian. Even GTA 5's equivalent of Steve Jobs is a Kanye West-tier moron
Okay, I'll be honest, GTA SA and GTA 4 are a bit better and more serious and realistic (including the writing) but GTA 5 sucks ass. RDR2 depicts a more varied society which is better than GTA 5 but the writing is equally dumb-downed crap

I know I'm a bit late but this is actually a decent game, I thought it was friendslop. I like how there are 3 characters you play as.
The world has stood still since picrel
Sure we've had a scamdemic and some elections and whatnot, but this game is still playable and remains on top to this day - and even those who have never played it find themselves stuck in the same paradigm as when it was released. We are twelve years into the pause button being pressed.

>content that promotes violence or "depicts real or realistic serious violence against a person, an animal, or a fictional creature"; content that promotes challenges or stunts that are likely to cause serious injuries; content that encourages people to use harmful substances or substances in harmful quantities; content that shames people based on body type or physical features; and "content that promotes or romanticizes depression, hopelessness and despair."
These are perhaps the most concerning requirements that the Online Safety Act is placing on online platforms.
These requirements are so fucking vague that a HUGE amount of entertainment media from music, to films, to books, to video games would all fall foul of it.
The OSA could mean that you are no longer allowed to purchase a Grand Theft Auto game on Steam without submitting facial verification or photo ID, because you can kill both people and animals in them.
It could also mean you can't stream some old TV series like Skins because it has graphic depictions of anorexia.
It could also mean you can't listen to bands like Joy Division or Nine Inch Nails because they talk openly about suicide in their lyrics. Hell, NIN even has an album with a song on it literally depicting the act of suicide itself in a manner the OSA would definitely deem "promoting or romanticising".
The UK could be stepping towards implementing ultra-draconian restrictions on our internet that not even the fucking Chinese have to deal with. This is unacceptable.
