You did. You misrepresented “marginalized communities deserve better representation” as:

Oh yeah, for the record I’m not saying “Franklin and Lamar completely offset all the other problematic Black stereotypes in the game”, just an example of why it’s not as bad as the trans issue here. Still definitely needs work!

Would it be reasonable for me to ask Rockstar to cut out all black males out of the game just because someone posted a video of them going out to kill all the N*****s in the game?

Oh noz, you mean hacks can’t just coast on making the easiest, laziest jokes about minorities anymore, and now have to work at actually creating good satire?

“only fuel the fire of people saying that LGBTQ+ members are making unreasonable demands”

If black people were only being portrayed in an offensive caricature that makes them a punchline rather than a person then yes, they should be removed.

“As a Black Man... (expresses opinion demonstrating a callousness towards another minority group, downplaying their discrimination).”

Maybe the lesson is that GTA should remove its shitty writing team.

I think it’s awfully arrogant to think that dehumanizing human beings because they don’t live their lives the way you’ve decided they should is just a “differing opinion”.

I’d be completely on board with your point if nothing bad ever made a billion dollars, but we both know that isn’t true.

You’re right that GTA has never held a great track record in terms of positive representation, but the answer isn’t just to remove everyone. GTA V does mostly show Black and Latino people as criminals, though part of that is that it’s a crime-oriented game and most people encountered in general are criminals. But it…

Maybe you aren’t the most qualified person to tell trans people what battles they should pick 

Cis man just can’t understand why the most shitted on and murdered marginalized group in our country aren’t comfortable with being able to massacre cartoonish caricature stereotypes of trans women

Right, imagine if there was one type of Black person in the game and he was wearing the uniform for a janitor or was someone’s servant. Like, this isn’t a case of “there happens to be a trans character in the game and someone happens to kill them and say slurs towards them on YouTube”, it’s that the one type of…

Tough guy here!

Well, seeing as how a couple of main characters are black males in the story mode, that argument is a bit soft. I agree that GTA is an equal opportunity hater, but when there’s literally only one type of trans person in the game, and it’s a stereotypical sex worker with a bulge and shit, it’s a little different. 

This isn’t censorship I’m advocating for, as the choice remains in Rockstar’s hands.

As a cis male, I encourage others to be supportive and otherwise shut up.

Look, I’m an avid Discord user, currently very active in one unofficial fan server (it’s a decent size, but split up enough and full of enough lurkers it’s not too busy) and periodically checking in on a couple more when I’m interested. They can be great!
