My coworker outed himself as fucking awful. He was talking about the game and how he’s so hyped about it and then says “they even have pride parades, so you know what I’m doing!” and makes a gesture of loading a shotgun…
I figured he was that kind of asshole but he never said anything that direct before.
It’s news to me that GTA protagonists are typically upstanding moral citizens… I haven’t played GTA since 2, but I seem to remember going on mass killing sprees. Not to try and equate very different crimes but that’s gotta be at least in the same area code as mass child sex trafficking and abuse…
Going on a video game killing spree can be cathartic, gross as that is. I cannot say I would be anything other than revolted by being presented with the video game scenario of getting into the shoes of an Epstein.
It is interesting how sexual crimes are seen as so much more severe. Rape is seen as worse than murder.
Also like, in gta you can murder, but fucking a prostitute is censored. Theres blood and death, but genitals would be too far?
Your comment implies pedophiles are same as child molesters. Many pedophiles do not abuse children, knowing full well it hurts them - or simply being in fear of law enforcement
Same way, someone with violent inclinations may vent some steam doing a virtual murder spree rather than a real one. Win-win!
Why would people want to role play as them? Unless they’re also terrible

Bruh why do we live amongst such monsters
Because your village’s survival does not depend on them. Otherwise, they’d be culled/exiled long ago.
Report that asshole
Report him to who ? The DOJ is onboard with that now

Employer?
HR exist to project the employer. If its no longer problematic for the company to embrace anti lgbt behaviour, they won’t do anything about it.
I still try. I have some privilege I can leverage for myself and others who have to labour for a salary.

Hey, let the poor pedos get their share of joy!
Your comment implies that gta is for murderers, since they currently get their share of joy?
