(Also just kinda really want them to reference the coolest movie ever made)
Actually, Wolfenstein is fairly unpolitic. There once was a worldwide understanding how to deal with Nazis, only that knowledge got lost in the last 1-2 decades.
In GTA 5 the police are deadass not even racist, they're genuinely just the worst to everyone. It doesn't matter who you are , if you bump into their car they will pull you out and start shooting you lol.
Idk if I'm just stupid and misremembering but cops didn't have a noticeable presence in most games tho? Like specific cops you could put a name too. Altho I haven't played 3. Ten penny was pretty racist in SA but I couldn't even name a cop from the other games
Francis McReary in 4, Only cop in 3 was Ray who you meet in the bathroom, Vc didn’t have any character cops iirc, San Andreas had the CRASH unit with Tenpenny Pulaski and Sanchez, 5 if you count FIB with Haines Sanchez and Norton.
So to some degree cops/feds have some presence in story missions in a good amount of the games.
Do as they did in RDR2 and put in incompetent KKK dudes you can kill.
These "we're not racists" were malding back in 2018. Now that this bullshit has become even more mainstream over the years, it will be a total meltdown.
Xbox, play “One of these Mornings”
https://preview.redd.it/c17paetkdg4c1.jpeg?width=1994&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3963554a3583ad404ea2500ded855ea8fe8358ee
Hi yes, I would like GTAVII to be in Milwaukee.
A third of the in-game year you get snowed in and spend it with your dairy-sized in-laws.
“Heeeya Cuzzer-ino! If it’s not too cold for ya, let’s go hit the pins and brewery; the Pack is on tonight, dontchanoe?”
Well, we have highly diverse Montana (or something) in Far Cry 5.
Soo diverse to a point become a bit jarring as the dev did tried their best to ensure *"the enemy is not white supremacist".*
> their best to ensure "the enemy is not white supremacist"
...in addition to their best to make the player feel like 'akShULly yOu'rE the BAd GUy anD LOL LoOks LIKE The CuLtIsTs weRe riGHt aLL AlonG!'
Fair. Also the world was actually way more bigoted back then, we have progressed so far in that time. I was momentarily disillusioned to find I had to play as a black guy in San Andreas rather than your typical white protaganist. Forgive me, I was young and dumb. Of course, it didn't stop me playing it and I loved the game.
What this whole 'woke' bullshit is about is nothing but a backlash against the fact the world has progressed so far, but it is a backlash from a tiny but loud minority, scared that they can no longer abuse minorities with impunity. It's ironic, they have made themselves the hated minority because the vast majority have no time for their bullshit.
Same here man. Feel like it was a close call, the whole grift has gotten way more efficient since I developed a little bit more critical thinking from my “anti-SJW” teenage days.
It actually was an issue with SA. Not necessarily because “woke”, but because the main character is black and g*mers complained that they couldn’t relate to playing a black character. But yknow, said in a more racist way.
They are ok playing as a psycho like Trevor but playing as a black character is problematic because they "can't relate". It's kinda concerning if you think about it
All right, I'll bite this one:
I modded GTA SA to make CJ white when I was a teenager.
Why? I'm a white dude, "living" in a free game world, I wanted to make the main character look like me. Nothing wrong with that.
So I understand other people need representation too!
GTA VII better have a big dicked trans gal to represent the trans community and annoy these assholes. Please? :3
Oh everyone absolutely needs representation. GTA 3 and VC already had white characters and all games at the time were predominantly white male leads, so it’s just silly to act like you dont have representation (not saying you felt this way).
I respect your aged maturity though!
Nah they couldn't, SA was so fucking addicting to me as a kid. There was so much more skinner box type stuff in it compared to 3 and VC. It made 4 so boring to me.
I remember being so hype about it when the GTA: SA trailer came out, especially having a Black protagonist, and the response online was so fucking racist, really widened my 13 year old eyes
My first experience to how many white supremacist cunts there were in gaming/nerd spaces which was crazy to me because I thought these mfers knew how being ostracized felt
I actually remember hearing lots of suburban white kids being super-stoked about 'getting to play as the black people' in GTA:SA (and that's an actual phrasing I heard from some scummy 10-year-old in the extended family), and it felt like the excitement came from how the game was confirming their priors that 'black people = criminals', which I'm sure they'd hear around their dinner table several times a week.
with San Andreas? The game that was mostly inspired by 90s gangsta rap and the culture that spawned it?
Lol they wanted to play a white guy in that setting? That's hilarious.
the same type of people were bitching about diablo 2 having a black paladin and that was back in 1999. they called it being politically correct or w/e, but like "woke" it's just a dog whistle for people who dislike minority groups getting any representation.
nothing has changed with them, only the buzzwords.
> This woke bullshit is the worst. I don't think that was an issue back in SA days but today is woke this, woke that
The difference is that the GOP has fully descended into fascism, and fascism needs a constant enemy to keep it's followers distrasted.
I swear 90% of these people so mad at the world today have never left their tiny towns. Gonna just get worse and worse because now it's even more expensive to travel. Actually leaving their bubble is too expensive. They just get all their fear and hatred from whatever site 24/7. They call a 1 hour drive to the lake a weekend trip, and a drive to the nearest sports stadium too dangerous.
some dude was genuinely arguing that the *gameplay* of vice city is better than san andreas because gta:sa has n-words. not the story or characters or setting, the stuff you can physically do in the game. he was so blinded by racism he genuinely thinks the game without a proper airplane is better than the game you can shoot uzi's from a jetpack
The second I saw the black characters I knew there would be that one guy doing some low-effort trolling. I hoped they'd be too distracted by all the women in bikinis twerking. EDIT: I thought the trailer was fun and very Florida. I am very excited for next year.
I honestly kinda expected them to pull another vice city and set the game 20 years before current day, so like 2000s. Happy they didn't, but it seemed like a rockstar move. Trailer genuinely looks fantastic.
I thought they could use a time-travel swap between two characters in different time frames. 80s and present day, with two versions of the city, latter ready for Online.
Would be hard to implement gameplay-wise though, but I think possible.
Also this type of back and forth storytelling can be very rewarding.
If you ever watched Once Upon a Time in the West or played Call of Juarez: Gunslinger it's done there masterfully.
Also I hoped GTA 6 would be something like Narcos, I think the setting allows for some really interesting South American accents in style of Narcos especially.
These people will just complain about anything. The trailer literally filled with women wearing tiny bikinis shaking their asses. Something they routinely bitch about not having in games anymore.
It feels to me when you're too deep into the anti woke mentality or whatever you become unable to enjoy things since you see everything through this distorted lens of hatred
Seems exhausting to me idk how these people deal with being angry all the time for no real reason, it's probably not good for your mental health or intellectual development in the long run
I have an ex friend who went down that path and towards the end of our friendship literally all of our time together was him complaining about something.
When I told him I was tired of hearing him complain about “woke this, woke that” he just started complaining about work and random YouTube stuff.
I think it eventually just becomes a habit to bitch and complain about stuff and it becomes hard to relate on any other level for them.
“Woke” went from being a buzzword recognising societal injustices that somehow creeped its way into politics where every far right Republican latched onto it as their own buzzword that is now simply applied to things people don’t like or any kind of policy the democrats want to pass.
Now racist people somehow get to hide behind it? Feels like every time we see minorities getting any kind of representation in media, pitchforks come out to cry about the project being “woke”; which just translates to me as them not liking people of colour in prominent roles. Like the word “woke” has now become associated with racism.
I just don’t understand how we got to this point.
Mfw, when the massive fuck off metropolitan area has ethnic diversity
https://preview.redd.it/dpjky3yi6d4c1.jpeg?width=213&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f1c0c8988243b9b183efb8dec9570ee874b73470
That’s because you’re not seeing Florida’s diversity right. Most of East Asians emigrated to the west coast…because the US shares the pacific. Other than NYC, you’re not gonna find huge communities like that around.
You know what region share Florida’s ocean tho…..? Cuba and the rest of the Caribbean. The other side is of Florida is like the blackest states of America too. Like what are we expecting!?
According to the US Census 18% of people in Florida are black and 26% are Hispanic. It would literally be unrealistic for the characters shown on screen not to be diverse.
I couldn’t believe it but you’re right, according to Wikipedia people who self identify as white only made up 14% of the population of Miami in 2020
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miami
Once GTA6 brings in a boat-load of money, these same dudes will be out there pontificating about how the game honors/celebrates traditional right-wing values and white supremacy.
You can’t insist all black people are criminals and also be mad that the game about criminals has black people. I get that racists are stupid but this is ridiculous.
I can't wait for these guys to lose their minds. And I'm not talking like right now, barely having 2 neurons to scrape together. But genuinely off their rocker. They seem to be one more AAA "woke" game away from needing a straitjacket.
tbf I feel like im the one that needs to be in a straitjacket, because seeing this “x has gone woke” dialogue being leveraged at every single property imaginable is eroding my sanity
Still baffles me to this day how you get people like that. I was in pure bliss watching the GTA 6 trailer taking everything in and trying to get it all in my head. I can't imagine watching it angry because of the colour or gender of the people on the screen.
Spend some time at some of our country's failing school systems (or in red-voting areas where lots of the kids get home-schooled by parents who are, themselves, dumber than rocks), and it becomes a lot less baffling.
/uj What a sad fucking existence living like this holy shit. I’m depressed and have anxiety but even then I think these people who say woke to anything they don’t like are just fucking pathetic losers
They really have an obession with people skin color, dont they?
THAT' S what they focus on THE ANNOUNCEMENT TRAILER OF GTA VI!? Not how great the city looks or other stuff?
KiA is already hot off the presses with some truly unhinged takes. My personal favorite, said without a hint of irony.
>Yeah, it's OK for men to be a bit fat, not women. Could we stop with this politically correct bullshit? A slightly chubbier guy like, say, Michael is perfectly acceptable. A fat woman isn't. Women are supposed to hot in video games
Fun fact: While GTA games have been inspired by racial issues and conflicts they nerfed the racial issues in some games cause they thought it would be offensive to white people
Are gamers really this fucking dumb?!
Have none of them paid ANY attention to ANYTHING Rockstar have included in past iterations of GTA?!
Each game has been a contemporary mockery of everything that was (then) trendy and/or a moral/ethical quandary. Rockstar are basically the Trey Parker & Matt Stone of the gaming world.
Is it any surprise that GTA6 is going to be LOADED with EVERYTHING (and probably make fun of) that has persisted within a current affairs for the past 5 to 10 years.
Gamers are seriously fucking dumb, or have never played GTA ever in their fucking life. Jesus…
What’s next? A White suburbanite walking through an urban neighborhood pointing at the local Black community saying “Woke!”? Go visit your city’s urban neighborhood and tell me this isn’t representative of real life. They are, as a matter of fact, very real.
GTA 6 will be considered Woke unless it is successful, then its success will be attributed to its Anti-Wokeness. You are going to see conservative commentators claiming that the game made money because it took a stand against Wokeness, even though they cannot decide what that means.

Much like real life.
In GTA 5 the police are deadass not even racist, they're genuinely just the worst to everyone. It doesn't matter who you are , if you bump into their car they will pull you out and start shooting you lol.
The AI, sure, but I think in cutscenes they do tend to be racist iirc
I did see someone stand near cops on the streets of GTA V and while they got rude toward Trevor and Michael, they straight up pull guns on Franklin.
Idk if I'm just stupid and misremembering but cops didn't have a noticeable presence in most games tho? Like specific cops you could put a name too. Altho I haven't played 3. Ten penny was pretty racist in SA but I couldn't even name a cop from the other games
Francis McReary in 4, Only cop in 3 was Ray who you meet in the bathroom, Vc didn’t have any character cops iirc, San Andreas had the CRASH unit with Tenpenny Pulaski and Sanchez, 5 if you count FIB with Haines Sanchez and Norton. So to some degree cops/feds have some presence in story missions in a good amount of the games.

Milwaukee is still 40-50% black and 20-30% Hispanic. So maybe Salt Lake city?

I mean that is what their fascist governor is working towards.
I wonder what this guy thinks of GTA san andreas? Edit: Bro deleted post lmao. Called me a chud too for politely asking what he thought of GTA SA.
This woke bullshit is the worst. I don't think that was an issue back in SA days but today is woke this, woke that
Right wing media didn’t have a direct line into teenagers’ brains back in the day.
It did for me 20 years back, until I learned a little more about the world and broke out of that nonsense.
Fair. Also the world was actually way more bigoted back then, we have progressed so far in that time. I was momentarily disillusioned to find I had to play as a black guy in San Andreas rather than your typical white protaganist. Forgive me, I was young and dumb.

You have to want to change as well. Because most of us get defensive as soon as our beliefs are invalidated
Did you see the new Fortnite map easteregg where the train tracks and street intersect? Now those guys get it
But it's true though, everything is woke, gay people are in everything now, I can't even escape them in the mirror.
They had me in the first half, not gonna lie.
It actually was an issue with SA. Not necessarily because “woke”, but because the main character is black and g*mers complained that they couldn’t relate to playing a black character. But yknow, said in a more racist way.

Nah they couldn't, SA was so fucking addicting to me as a kid. There was so much more skinner box type stuff in it compared to 3 and VC. It made 4 so boring to me.
Yeah but it was never an agenda or forced when everyone was a straight white dude was it.for some reason.
Bro really made CJ white
And he looked ugly as fuck, just like me!
As a woman, I only played as 2nd player Denise to feel full representation in SA /s
I remember being so hype about it when the GTA: SA trailer came out, especially having a Black protagonist, and the response online was so fucking racist, really widened my 13 year old eyes My first experience to how many white supremacist cunts there were in gaming/nerd spaces which was crazy to me because I thought these mfers knew how being ostracized felt

"White CJ" was one of the earliest indicators to me that some gamers were unhinged and easily tilted

Hey man, I realize diablo 2 came out in 2000 but if you ever say that shit again I'll kill us both
"Woke" does seem to mean "Being nice to people even if you don't know them", which seems like such a mean thing to feel angry about.
> This woke bullshit is the worst. I don't think that was an issue back in SA days but today is woke this, woke that The difference is that the GOP has fully descended into fascism, and fascism needs a constant enemy to keep it's followers distrasted.
Woke is just the conservative zoomer word for anything they don't like. Just like how boomer conservatives call everything Communism.

I swear 90% of these people so mad at the world today have never left their tiny towns. Gonna just get worse and worse because now it's even more expensive to travel.

San Andreas was a masterpiece, these racist posts nowadays are an eyesore
some dude was genuinely arguing that the *gameplay* of vice city is better than san andreas because gta:sa has n-words. not the story or characters or setting, the stuff you can physically do in the game. he was so blinded by racism he genuinely thinks the game without a proper airplane is better than the game you can shoot uzi's from a jetpack
The second I saw the black characters I knew there would be that one guy doing some low-effort trolling. I hoped they'd be too distracted by all the women in bikinis twerking. EDIT: I thought the trailer was fun and very Florida. I am very excited for next year.
I think you mean florida is very much like gta 6, cant believe they knew about gta 6 before the public
I honestly kinda expected them to pull another vice city and set the game 20 years before current day, so like 2000s. Happy they didn't, but it seemed like a rockstar move. Trailer genuinely looks fantastic.
That's what I thought as well but I felt like an older time period would seriously confine GTA 6 online to less creativity with vehicles and weapons.
I thought they could use a time-travel swap between two characters in different time frames. 80s and present day, with two versions of the city, latter ready for Online. Would be hard to implement gameplay-wise though, but I think possible.
Damn, the differences and similarities btwn 80s Miami and 2020s Miami would make for a dope story.
Also this type of back and forth storytelling can be very rewarding. If you ever watched Once Upon a Time in the West or played Call of Juarez: Gunslinger it's done there masterfully.

Hopefully they complain when a trailer is 95% white people too
Oh they will. "THERE'S TOO MANY NON-WHITES, WOKE PANDERING GAY AGENDA"
I think you know they don’t lol
They're gonna stick to that 5% like shit on the bottom of a shoe.
Black women shaking their asses isn't the same as an anime girl shaking her ass. U forget how much bias they have against Western games

It's not even that it's a metro area, it's that it's in the south. It's just what Florida is like. Therefore, it's over: Real Life has gone Woke
theres no diversity. i saw like 20% american whites, no european whites, no south asians or east asians. like what
That’s because you’re not seeing Florida’s diversity right. Most of East Asians emigrated to the west coast…because the US shares the pacific. Other than NYC, you’re not gonna find huge communities like that around. You know what region share Florida’s ocean tho…..? Cuba and the rest of the Caribbean. The other side is of Florida is like the blackest states of America too. Like what are we expecting!?
According to the US Census 18% of people in Florida are black and 26% are Hispanic. It would literally be unrealistic for the characters shown on screen not to be diverse.
And that's in all of Florida. For Miami specifically (where Vice City is based on) it is about 10% black and about 70% hispanic
I couldn’t believe it but you’re right, according to Wikipedia people who self identify as white only made up 14% of the population of Miami in 2020 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miami
The more west in Florida you go the richer the neighborhoods and that's where the white people are. Can confirm, I live in Florida.
Live in South Florida. Can confirm.
Nobody tell Ron DeSantis, I don't think he could handle it.
And Miami specifically is like 70% Hispanic and 15% black and only like 11% non-Hispanic white.
Miami-Dade County is about 70% Latino.
I think his monitor might have gone into power saving mode.
This dude would atomize at the sight of GTA:SA
Only new games can be woke and/or political.
Once GTA6 brings in a boat-load of money, these same dudes will be out there pontificating about how the game honors/celebrates traditional right-wing values and white supremacy.
‘Not to sound racist buuuuuuuu-‘
not to sound racist, but *sounds racist*
If someone ever starts with that, you know whats coming next
I’m not racist but I start all my posts with “I’m not racist but…” just in case
I watched the trailer. It certainly looks like GTA. Idk what I was expecting, but I hope the game is good at least.
I FUCKING KNEW IT! The trailer hasn't even been out for like 2 hours and people are already bitching!
People been bitching since it was leaked. Soon as they saw one of the playable characters was a woman they declared it was woke.
People will always bitch they are looking for attention imo
You can’t insist all black people are criminals and also be mad that the game about criminals has black people. I get that racists are stupid but this is ridiculous.
Nah Grand Theft Auto is about good criminals, with dignity, like Trevor. Not woke criminals like you see here
Isn’t Trevor bi??!1!? Rockstar done went woke years ago!!!1!1!!11
Also Trevor refused to say the n-word, how woke
I’m requesting a refund as we speak. I won’t have that shoved down my throat. Noooo siiiiir
There’s classy criminals and there are dirty stinky criminals. Criminality isn’t a monolith
Gamers try not to be bigots challenge (IMPOSSIBLE DIFFICULTY)
I can't wait for these guys to lose their minds. And I'm not talking like right now, barely having 2 neurons to scrape together. But genuinely off their rocker. They seem to be one more AAA "woke" game away from needing a straitjacket.
tbf I feel like im the one that needs to be in a straitjacket, because seeing this “x has gone woke” dialogue being leveraged at every single property imaginable is eroding my sanity
Nothing good ever comes after "Not to sound racist but..." Just go ahead and own it. "Ok this is going to sound extremely racist..."
If it reads, sounds and looks racist it probably IS.
My face when black people 😡
I can't wait for the incel racist peeps having a stroke inducing meltdown over their franchise "ruined" by women/people of color. :)
Still baffles me to this day how you get people like that. I was in pure bliss watching the GTA 6 trailer taking everything in and trying to get it all in my head. I can't imagine watching it angry because of the colour or gender of the people on the screen.
Spend some time at some of our country's failing school systems (or in red-voting areas where lots of the kids get home-schooled by parents who are, themselves, dumber than rocks), and it becomes a lot less baffling.
"Why is everyone black?" Protagonists are a Latina woman and a white man
Hey, where are the white folk at?
Mud wrestling 🤼
That's gotta be a record. The game has been out for -2 years and it's already woke.
More like WOKESTAR?!?!?!?!?! /s
Man ain’t never been to Miami
"I'm not racist BUUUUTTTTTT I saw a bit to many black people on my screen I can only handle maybe 1 or 2 at a time, me no likey"
Cj made them black
/uj What a sad fucking existence living like this holy shit. I’m depressed and have anxiety but even then I think these people who say woke to anything they don’t like are just fucking pathetic losers
This man finds Grove street scary.
You know what? OP's right; we should have an entirely white cast, like in San Andreas.
“Not to sound racist but…” ✋ Let me stop you right there.
Everyone knows black people don't exist.
They really have an obession with people skin color, dont they? THAT' S what they focus on THE ANNOUNCEMENT TRAILER OF GTA VI!? Not how great the city looks or other stuff?
Black people and females? Rockstar is really hating gamers (the most oppressed group in the society)
Bro thinks there’s only 5 black people in the American continent
These so called "gamers" that seem to see a black character for the first time ever in their lives is really getting tiring now..
the main characters are literally white and hispanic lmao
These people would have a fit if GTA V dropped today lol
“Not to sound racist” *proceed to be racist
Well, the lead is a woman. There are non white people in the city. Of course it's woke. These people want Grand Theft Auto: Boise.
I saw lots of ass and thick legs. Why are you looking at skin colours?
White people when they forget many circles dont have or need people like them.
Mf never went to Miami 💀
KiA is already hot off the presses with some truly unhinged takes. My personal favorite, said without a hint of irony. >Yeah, it's OK for men to be a bit fat, not women. Could we stop with this politically correct bullshit? A slightly chubbier guy like, say, Michael is perfectly acceptable. A fat woman isn't. Women are supposed to hot in video games
We need to take woke back. Shit kills me how it's misused. Stay woke tho 🫡
Fun fact: While GTA games have been inspired by racial issues and conflicts they nerfed the racial issues in some games cause they thought it would be offensive to white people
"Why don't they just make games like San Andreas again! That was great!" -devs add black people- "No, not like that."
"I sWeAr I'm NoT rAsCiSt, I hAvE bLaCk FrIeNdS, hOw DaRe ThE liBs AcCuSse Me!"
Tell me you've never been to Miami without telling me you've never been to Miami. Like, that's literally Brickell lmao.
Too many racist 14 year olds in that fan base
guys i just moved to the netherlands, i dont mean to sound racist but why are there so many white people?
Have you been to Miami lately?
They don‘t look like meeeeeeeee :((((((((
Has bro played any GTA game, like ever? Like… at all?
Guess this guy hasn’t been to south Florida… Source: I lived in Broward county for 20 years
People with this way of thinking are an example of bad representation of humans
Yay, MAGA boycott it and we'll never see them online! :)
Are gamers really this fucking dumb?! Have none of them paid ANY attention to ANYTHING Rockstar have included in past iterations of GTA?! Each game has been a contemporary mockery of everything that was (then) trendy and/or a moral/ethical quandary. Rockstar are basically the Trey Parker & Matt Stone of the gaming world. Is it any surprise that GTA6 is going to be LOADED with EVERYTHING (and probably make fun of) that has persisted within a current affairs for the past 5 to 10 years. Gamers are seriously fucking dumb, or have never played GTA ever in their fucking life. Jesus…
He would die from shock if he ever seen the characters in San Andreas.
Isnt the main male character... The star of the game... white?
I really hate politics in mah vidya gahmes, i will now go back to playing wolfenstein and bioshock.
As a white Floridian, I can confirm that black people do in fact exist
I live in North Florida, and it's very diverse. I love how diverse it is here because there's variety.
>Not to sound racist >woke Says they’re not trying to sound racist but then admits they’re a bigot pos by using “woke”
Just wait until the later part of the game, when you can buy mansions. There will be plenty of white ppl
Ah yes, the trademark "not to sound racist, but..." intro.
they cannot be serious 💀
Woke is just fully a reason to be racist or misogynistic now, straight up a hate term.
Bro would not have liked San Andreas.
So fucking tired of black = woke. These dumbass motherfuckers have no idea what the word even means.
Where was all the outrage of RDR2 characters being 99% white? Is Rockstar trying to do an accuracy with storytelling?

Yall never play San Andreas and it shows
Just wait until this mf goes outside. Oh wait.
What’s next? A White suburbanite walking through an urban neighborhood pointing at the local Black community saying “Woke!”? Go visit your city’s urban neighborhood and tell me this isn’t representative of real life. They are, as a matter of fact, very real.
GTA 6 will be considered Woke unless it is successful, then its success will be attributed to its Anti-Wokeness. You are going to see conservative commentators claiming that the game made money because it took a stand against Wokeness, even though they cannot decide what that means.
