Same reason why they got away with Simeon. They're (((Austrian))) and (((Armenian))), respectively.

>>713540364

>>713540431

>>713539927 (OP)
He's ((((((((((Austrian))))))))))

>>713540431
Micah and Dutch 1000000% raped women during RDR2. And Bill literally rapes farm girls during RDR1

>>713540795
>Micah and Dutch
When?
>Bill
He's meant to be the antagonist so of course they make him do shit like that so John Marston can be redeemed. In rdr 2 he's pretty decent and possibly gay.

Don't forget that Strauss is a jewish name

>>713541007
It's a German name some jews also happen to have.

Nu Rockstar are too sissy to say something about the jews, that's why there's not a single mention of them negatively in RDR2.

They couldn't keep him around because Arthur+Strauss is a far better gang than dutch and the rest of his simp bitches combined

>>713542818
>Arthur's dialogue during strauss missions are pure bad guy stuff
I thought this as well. Arthur is so unreasonbly violent and horrible to the debtors but then writes in his journal about how the work feels wrong and blames Stauss. I get that the work is immoral and semetic but Arthur really could've shown some restraint and they all most likely would've still give him his muneh.

>>713539927 (OP)
he's "german"

>>713540364
Bill is a rapist and everyone treat him like shit, including Arthur.

>>713542818
yeah nah from the start Arthur tells Strauss that usury is unseemly and ain't right, Arthur strongly prefers honest cons
Arthur uses violence because the people he's usually fighting and stealing from are also violent but Strauss preys on weak people in order to scam them later, and Arthur may be a crook, but he's a crook with a soul who is during this game questioning the fate of it (which the player gets to decide via the actions with him)

Theivery, thuggery, robbery, these are "honest" crimes and their victims are usually the upper-crust of society, the law or rival gangs
Loan sharking is dishonest and it relies on hornswoggling people who are more essentially background NPCs who didn't do nothing to anybody

I know we're talking moral relativism in the context of a violent criminal having a distaste for loan recovery in a video game about non-racist cowboys but for Arthur, I think it makes him feel like a "bad guy" which, by the end of the narrative, we discover he doesn't actually enjoy feeling like, which is why he chases Strauss off later

it's a last ditch attempt at getting right with God

>>713543794
>honest cons

>>713544257
yes I explain in the second to last bit there that I know we're having a discussion about moral relativism in the context of cowboy criminals in a video game, but that's how Arthur sees it, he experiences conflict about it, this externalises as him having issues with Strauss whom he sees as beneath him
Arthur may or may not be a bad man but Strauss makes him *feel* like one, and that's what he doesn't like
