The Great Race And Gender Debate Of Grand Theft Auto V

Oh no, Grand Theft Auto V has no women as leads in it, yet has three MEN I can switch between willingly. That is SO sexist! Oh, and Franklin gets treated differently in the game because he is black, that is SO messed up!

Despite whatever you may think to the contrary, Grand Theft Auto V is, above and beyond all else, a brilliant work of satire.

A satire of a modern world obsessed with tech.

A satire of mass media.

A satire of commercialization and industry.

A satire of how we view women in our society.

A satire of celebrity.

A satire of how racist most police really are out in L.A.

Hell, the game even satirizes the suburban American family.

Nothing is safe, and nothing should be. If this game pisses you off because it misrepresents women and African Americans, you need to understand, the best satire merely holds up a mirror to our own world. So, in essence, if Grand Theft Auto V is pissing you off, your day to day life must be driving you insane.

At the end of the day, everyone needs to lighten up and remember: It’s just a game. A brilliant, biting, scathing game. Oh, and mark my words, we are just a few years away from Rockstar giving us the best female character that gaming has ever experienced. If that doesn’t shut the haters up, nothing will.
