I'm not worried about southpark. Matt and Trey will likely be the ones doing it all the way until the end. And honestly I don't know the guys personally but based off their work over the last nearly 2 decades that iv been watching south park I can confidently say that they are the last people to let their show go down the woke road. GTA is a mainstream game franchise and lets be real its a flagship title for Rockstar. It was inevitable. And I don't wanna sound like a dick but I genuinely don't care about gta as a franchise that much. The only value it has for me is how awesome it can be modded.

Not only that, but...if "you can play as a woman" is somehow what it takes for "wokeness", that's...not exactly that big a problem.

If the person wanted to talk about how they edited GTA Online to take out offensive descriptions about trans people, maybe, but this ain't it chief.

"you can play as a woman"

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but there wasn't a female protagonist in the series already? But then again, no one remembers GTA I.

Exactly. There's a lot of problems with wokeness, but "any media that includes a woman or minority as the lead" is NOT the problem.

To complain about simply being able to play as a woman or minority (especially since GTA V was Los Santos and did allow you to play as a black person, just like GTA: Los Santos in the original) is saying the Woke have a point...and the only way to beat the Woke is to make it clear they are paranoid crackpots fighting invisible Klan members and that real people are not as hateful as they claim.
