I bet Rockstar is thinking twice about *checks notes* making a normal looking female character.

Yeah, can we please just stop talking about him?
Like, especially for things that have absolutely nothing to do with him..

I know it's not relevant here, but since we're talking globe etiquette: if your graphic of a globe shows New Zealand, be sure to shop it out to not reveal its location. At least cover it with a spoiler tag.
Why, though?
- Pretty clearly a joke.
Lol what?
- Pretty clearly a joke.
EUROPA EST MAXIME MOMENTI
But then all the nice countries are occluded, I don't get it?
LETS BRING FREEDOM TO THE GLOBE GRAPHIC 🚔🍔🦅🦅🦅🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇱🇷🇱🇷🇱🇷🇱🇷
- I like how three of those aren’t the American flag but the Liberian lol
Poe's law is strong with this one!

Damn Elon is the very fucking last thing I'd think of when I consider video game reviews. What's Bill Gate's opinion?

GTA made a name for itself by scaring parents for being violent and edgy. They do the same thing now, except it's far more terrifying to just scare fragile white losers.

At least Bill Gates was connected to Xbox, or something.
- I think he even invented Halo or so I've heard! He's a true gamer.
It wasn't even good at it, Saint's Row feels like the game GTA is trying to be.
- Saints row 2 is the best GTA game
- Nah saints row is when the mom says "but we already have gta at home"

Righties 4ish years ago: “Those cuckwokes in the land Downunder are pulling GTA V from shelves over violence, what a bunch of snowflakes. 😂😂”

Righties today: “um, could you stop doing violence in the M rated video game? My Hypothetical children are getting influenced. 🤓🤓”

The only thing consistent on that side of the fence is their inconsistency.

Elon Musk's many children are only insofar hypothetical that he has yet to see them

I like how he's turning extwitter into 4chan. Advertisers hate it though, but advertising only accounts for 90% of their revenue, nbd

I don't remember hearing what Jack Dorsey thought of anything.
Musk has literally paid 30 billion to have his own private megaphone on the internet.
That's ok, Muskoid is going to sue the ADL and Media Matters, and based on his extremely flawed ideas regarding Freedom Of Speech, he probably believes he can win lol.
he's such a fucking clown
- His claim for suing Media Matters is that ads don't always appear next to Neo-Nazis, therefore they had to hit refresh until one did.
  Which... they never said otherwise? And that doesn't really change things?
What’s the advertising like on 4chan? I haven’t been on there in like 15 years. Maybe there were banner ads last time I was on there lol.
- Weeb merch, dick pills and malicious links. So pretty much what it's always been tbh.

“Oh my god, who the hell cares?”

I hope the writers in charge of the radio station dialog are. This is great fodder.
- I can definitely see them including a Musk-like character.
  Full Lethal Weapon 2 accent, over compensating hair, quests to test his wacky inventions, crushed in a quest where you help him move server racks.
  Then Rockstar and Take-Two get their Twitter accounts locked under some bullshit about "incitement of violence" against him and his family.

A jackass not being a fan of something is, to me, a pretty good advertisement for that thing.

It’s like a loud, obnoxious racist complaining about a nearby bar. “They don’t believe in freedom! They asked my friends and I to leave just for telling a few jokes!”

Oh, they don’t put up with bigots and aren’t afraid to kick them out? Maybe I should start hanging out there!

I swear lemmy just feels like an Elon hate forum. I hate the guy too but 80% of the content is just about him

Maybe you're in the wrong communities, i see one Elon post every 100 or so posts.
- Half of the posts I see are about awesome animals like cats, dogs, owls, bats, opossums and racoons.
Low hanging fruit tempts more people, more easily. He's just a really easy to hate, last decade it was Zuckerberg, this decade it's Elon.
I just hope the next person to steal the spotlight is less insufferable.
He's a con man and everyone needs to know it. There are still too many people who think he's the best person on Earth.
- Yes, but him whining about GTA isn't exposing him as a con man
These kinds of posts always come off like when Trump complains that the people prosecuting him and judges are just anti-Trump.
Its an easy target. Low effort, high reward. I have a colleague who is frantic about numerology and anti-vax stuff. It's always a success to crack a joke about that.
You should find some communities you like. It's not all 80% for me. Much, much lower.

Wait do people not like the new GTA lady?

Because bobs and vagene.
- I remember a time when we all liked bobs and vagene.
A very tiny loud minority on the Internet.
- Those people confuse me. GTA6 protag is realistic but still at model level of conventional beauty.
  It's not like Sarah Rider (Mass Effect Andromeda) or Jesse Faden (Control), who aren't as "conventionally" attractive. Although after writing that, Jesse is super hot, and I'm not sure if I've been gaslit by the internet into thinking she's not "conventionally" attractive.
  Being charitable and taking these people at their word, I feel like with the more divisive examples it's a problem with modern lighting being softer and more dynamic? Leading to more "bad" angles and softer looking features. Most professional photoshoots have very contrasty and deliberate lighting, so maybe they're too used to that?
This is the first I'm hearing of it, but I'm sure there's a non-zero % out there
Incels don’t like seeing a woman have any sort of power over their own lives, or seeing non-white/white-asian women

It’s not even that the protagonist is a woman, the Boer said that he didn't want to play GTA V because he just couldn’t kill police officers

He’s a fuckin’ virtue-signaling wiener who needs to be given a swirly; I doubt it’s even true but if it were, he’d use the same reason not to play any of the Wolfenstein games

Hell, she's actually pretty cute. I'll take her over the typical 2020s female character design style.

what’s the typical 2020s style? i’m out of the loop
- Stoic flat-chested tomboy with no personality outside of the occasional metajoke.
  I'm fucking tired of it myself
  Edit: You downvote me, but play any movie or watch any game from the past 3 years and tell me I'm wrong.
