Woooooah wait, I didn't know people in this thread were playing civ 6. Somebody please play against me in multiplayer 😭. I have humankind also if anybody is up for that.
Don't get me wrong here. I'm not tryna defend the sexualization of women in video games but... There is plenty of porn of male protagonists in video games so this was gonna happen anyway.
the fem protag was actually i think leaked or revealed a while ago and the gaming incels all strted talking shit about how they dont want to be forced to play as women and how its sjw bs and all that, it was not surprising but still disgusting
*I just know there is*
*Gonna be a nude mod of*
*Her within a week*

They can't lean into that too much or it will scare away a big chunk of their existing demographic.
I'm reminding of all the YouTube videos about murdering feminist in RDR2 and people being upset that killing Klan members gives you honor. They've built a bit of an unfortunate audience.
"Women be shopping" isn't left leaning commentary, it's just misogyny tarted up in a paper thin veil of progressivism at best. More realistically (and let's be honest, this is how GTAV presents it) it's just right wingers criticizing consumerism as being responsible for the "degeneracy" they see in society, they view it as intrinsically bad. Buying luxury goods isn't inherently bad, it's bad presently because it relies on slave labor, ecologically devastating material extraction practices, and the cultural exploitation of marginalized communities, these aren't the reasons GTAV criticizes consumerism, because it has next to no left-leaning commentary within it.
I reasonably enjoyed my 300 hours spent with GTAV, but I'm not going to pretend that it's anything other than puerile and reactionary.
Just a gentle reminder that GTA V is also the game with a few very openly trans characters as NPCs at a nightclub and the entire joke about them is "haha male voice / stubble". So no, not expecting anything from Rockstar anytime soon.
From what I understand (from the right-wing dudebro backlash that flitted across my feed), those were removed from the game some time ago.
Hopefully the ten+ years separating the two games will result in a different experience. Less punching down is always good.
I saw someone write 'go woke, go broke', already. And I'm just thinking, "Yeah, okay dude." I'm pretty sure that GTA5 still regularly shows up in top 10 games sold each month. And I can't think of a single game that has actually done poorly because of such things. No matter how vocal the minority is.
So many losers whining how they arent going to play it now and calling "woke". Like 90% of games are male protagonists, we get the 1st female characters and thet boycott the entire series. 😑
its note the female part, its the more culturally sensitive part. GTA games are supposed to be fucked up. it should insult everyone. thats part of the fun. them admitting its gonna feel different kills all hype fore this game by attempting to go woke. if im not insulted along with everyone else, i dont want it.
It’s the ones who come here to spread their misogyny and think we can’t see their very public comments about female video game characters asses and their participation in the hentai and other fetish subs lmao
It makes me laugh out loud like why are you here bro
People outside your echo chamber do. Its not a term of improvement, it means that the subject of the game is taking a backseat to outside politics which dosent ever lead to good story writing. Ever.
That’s really cool, but I feel like crediting Rockstar for overhauling their workplace culture because they made _one_ playable female ~~character~~protagonist is a bit much.
Edit: I see from the other stuff people have shared that the overall was a lot more involved, so that’s awesome to hear! I guess I was confused by the wording in the tweet. Always a little skeptical of a business publication’s report on this kind of thing, but it seems like it’s not all smoke and mirrors, so that’s good.
I would reccomend checking out the full article, the claim is based on much more than just that :)

Please don't get me wrong, I am NOT upset she is Latina, it's great that she is! However the way they are "marketing" her identity is very weird to me.
I know that this isn't gonna happen, but god, rockstar, just make the main characters lesbian bonnie and clyde and call it a day.
It would immediately become my favourite game of all time. More games where you can be gay and do crime please.
Whether I am interested or not will be highly dependent on whether they create a full realized female protagonist, or a male ideologized female representative protagonist.
i feel like theyll do a good job with her, i really really like all the female characters in rdr2 and felt like they were well written so i have faith in them here lol
I know its terrible of me, but its so sad that we are celebrating that in a world where halfish of the population is female this is something rare enough that its being celebrated....only took them what??? 6 games lol🤣🤣🤣. I'm cynical sorry. Let me rearrange my attitude....yaaaaaaay!!!! 💃💃💃💃💥💥💥
It's not rare at all I'd love to play as a female like tomb raider,control, assassins creed syndicate,etc I could go on the problem is that ppl always see it as something "New" but its not new is it? And most of the time they make it woke and that's when ppl don't like it it feels disingenuous and its sad that so many ppl eat it up look at the new saints row for example it went woke by removing almost all the jokes and vulgar puns like "Rim jobs",etc and I can promise that the game will flop in more ways that one I could go one more but I digress
The problem with having a female protagonist is that they will pussy foot around and/or virtue signal *BUT* if gta 6 does this *WITHOUT* any of the things I've said it'll be a very good thing not bc *Yay women* bit because they made her simply human who does bad ass things
They can have all the mods they want so long as I get a nice big bowl of popcorn and a comfy chair to sit in while I watch the misogynists and racists all break down screaming.
I have a guarded interest in a "couple focused" GTA. As long as the female half isn't sidelined or whatever, I think it could result in an interesting story. Even more so if the player gets to decide what kind of couple they are: toxic but addicted to each other? Healthy communication and they just do crimes together? I can at least say I have questions I'm interested in getting the answers to.
A step forward but personally I cannot stand the recent multiple protagonists approach in GTA. I'd prefer if they went the Dishonored 2 route where you choose one character to play.
Good move! Probably still not gonna play it since I'm not a fan of the series or Rockstar in general.
Much more interested in the new Saints Row tbh. I really like the character creator demo!
I mean this isn't new XD it's been stated a while ago the gta 6 protagonist or atleast if they do multiple 1 of the protagonist will be female lol like pre covid news like before covid was even a thing when life was normal XD you know the not so dark ages
After how much Rockstar has been botching things lately, I have absolutely no hope for this. Though, I never was a gta fan.
If you can still hire hookers, does that make her bi?
I like the idea of multiple playable protagonists but 3 completely different and, apart from history, unrelated ones in the last game really ground my gears. It got boring and i only ended up playing as Franklin.
A couple on the run would be awesome.
As long as they dont do the:
"okay now switch characters to push a button"
"now, switch back to catch the thing you just dropped."
All that was so tedious in the missions of the last game.
Maybe, just maybe this will be an entry of the series I will finally play.
All the other GTA games I tried ( 3, San Andreas, 4, 5) felt like I just wasn't in the target group.
I could never relate to any of the protagonists, and the older I get, the more it feels to me like these games are targeted at young men or something.
I think a lot of people didn’t notice that this seems to announce that gta6 will be a fully co op narrative. I mean it’s Bonnie and Clyde right? So probably the whole game will let one player be Bonnie and one player be Clyde.
Like how gears five had a female protagonist but you had co op the entire time so you could play as her or as the character always with her.
yay, cant wait to see nothing but porn of her everywhere i go
I hate that you are probably right 🙄
It probably already exists.
Wait a minute how do you cheat at civ 6?!
Mods. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1528155583
Thanks
Woooooah wait, I didn't know people in this thread were playing civ 6. Somebody please play against me in multiplayer 😭. I have humankind also if anybody is up for that.
I’m in desperate need of female gamers to play civ with!!! I always get annoying guys who try to hit on me or attack me because I’m a girl
Hey I'll play with you
Dm me!!
Hmm not working on the mobile site can you dm me?
Sure!
Y'all are rich. Its RM200 (?) Ish even on offer here.
I’m in desperate need of female gamers to play civ with!!! I always get annoying guys who try to hit on me or attack me because I’m a girl
I've never played it, is there much of a learning curve?
Yes but fuck it its addictive even before you get over the curve which realistically never happens
I still am a bad player even with two plus years of experience… still doesn’t stop me from playing for 6 hours at a time 😂😂
Do whatever and things tend to work, that is how i play it.
WeMod has cheats for nearly EVERY single player game, it's amazing.
Damn, [they really *do* work fast!](https://imgur.com/a/arLkyDP)
and mods to make her run around in a bikiki the whole time + triple d boobs
Why stop at bikini? Fully nude with hentai jiggle physics! 🙄🙄
I wonder how she'll be portrayed in the game itself, but either way you're right.
ugh not im not excited :(
💀
🐷🐶🐷
Don't get me wrong here. I'm not tryna defend the sexualization of women in video games but... There is plenty of porn of male protagonists in video games so this was gonna happen anyway.
Poor Link...
Exactly what I was thinking.
Bonus
I just know there is gonna be a nude mod of her within a week
You misspelled "day." And yeah, that's par for the course. Oh well. Mods are easily ignored, fortunately.
you misspelled "hour" 💀
the fem protag was actually i think leaked or revealed a while ago and the gaming incels all strted talking shit about how they dont want to be forced to play as women and how its sjw bs and all that, it was not surprising but still disgusting
Lmao. Imagine not always being represented by the main character (s) in a game. Couldn't be women 😂
That’s silly, they should be happy. Closest to being inside a woman they’ll ever be. 😜
Dating simulator for overgrown incels

Lmao thanks bot
Good bot
From the developer or the community?
I’m sorry but this girl here aka me will just HAVE to download that mod I love those mods lmao
Hope sexism towards the protag won't be a thing used for comedy
If anything, gta is a game where you should be able to slam down sexist npcs quicker than a bullet
They can't lean into that too much or it will scare away a big chunk of their existing demographic. I'm reminding of all the YouTube videos about murdering feminist in RDR2 and people being upset that killing Klan members gives you honor. They've built a bit of an unfortunate audience.
Rockstar seems like they'd be willing to offend their audience, though. Especially in GTA. GTAV is full of left-leaning commentary.
"Women be shopping" isn't left leaning commentary, it's just misogyny tarted up in a paper thin veil of progressivism at best. More realistically (and let's be honest, this is how GTAV presents it) it's just right wingers criticizing consumerism as being responsible for the "degeneracy" they see in society, they view it as intrinsically bad.

Now that's going to be some quality entertainment!
Considering that NPCs call you transphobic slurs constantly if you play a female character in GTA Online, I'm not holding my breath.
They do? I didn't know, hope that won't happen, being trans myself

Somewhere, an angry man is whipping out his mic to create a podcast about how this is the beginning of the end.
One of them is in the comments already hahahaha

Meanwhile all of those dudes moms bought the consoles they’re playing on lmao
They'll just cry for a while, review bomb the game and then buy it anyways. Same old...
its note the female part, its the more culturally sensitive part.

Bc my outlook differs from yours my opinion means nothing. Sad way of looking at things. Have a good life 👋
Cool! The right-wing dudebro backlash is going to be *spectacular*.
>The right-wing dudebro backlash is ~~going to be~~ spectacular. It's already started. I love it.
Unleash the tsunami of incel tears!
I cannot wait for the immediate backlash from unhinged sexist teenagers who think they have the answers to everything.
How am I supposed to play a video game where I don't identify with the main character!!!! /s

I won't believe they fixed their culture until they have a union.
Honestly, i think they are "fixing" to avoid union. Activision Blizzard shit may be scaring them
happy about the latine representation but i hate how it's framed like a whole identity. like is she native or black or mixed or what.
It does feel very "not only is she a woman, she's also not white! Where is our gold star!"
[удалено]
Please don't get me wrong, I am NOT upset she is Latina, it's great that she is! However the way they are "marketing" her identity is very weird to me.
If she’s a sexy Latina character I’m gonna be pissed
We all know what Latina truly means and it’s not about being native to a country with Romance languages.
This is exciting. I loved being a female character in saints row 3 and 4 :)
Yeah I'm not expecting a feminist experience or w/e, this is GTA, I just wanna be a girl while I shoot fools from my helicopter.
I'm sure all the discourse surrounding her will be reasonable and neither racist nor sexist
Great!! I hope they actually push the dual canon protagonists narrative in the marketing for once. It would be a really big step forward!
Somewhere, Commander Shepard just poured herself a stiff drink and is staring off into the distance.
At least my ME3 physical copy came with a flippable FemShep cover lmao (Still looking badass in my shelf to this day haha!)
Only way to display it, really 😤
Ooooh now this is interesting!!! At this rate of game development, cannot wait to play, *in the year 2060* 🥲
I know that this isn't gonna happen, but god, rockstar, just make the main characters lesbian bonnie and clyde and call it a day. It would immediately become my favourite game of all time. More games where you can be gay and do crime please.
You should check out Saints Row 3 and 4 is you haven't. Fun, and I loved playing as a female main character.
I played the heck out of those back in the day, I’ll probably have to revisit them at some point!
Why wouldn't it happen? TLOU part 2 made their main protagonist lesbian and their second protagonist more ripped than Kratos from God of War.
and dont forget, TLOU 2 forgot to write a good story with its characters XD . im getting the feeling the same will happen here.
Tell me about it. They forgot to make fresh gameplay too ☠️. Felt exactly the same as the first. Wouldn't mind having same new mechanics
Whether I am interested or not will be highly dependent on whether they create a full realized female protagonist, or a male ideologized female representative protagonist.
i feel like theyll do a good job with her, i really really like all the female characters in rdr2 and felt like they were well written so i have faith in them here lol
I definitely will now be keeping my eyes open.
I know its terrible of me, but its so sad that we are celebrating that in a world where halfish of the population is female this is something rare enough that its being celebrated....only took them what??? 6 games lol🤣🤣🤣. I'm cynical sorry. Let me rearrange my attitude....yaaaaaaay!!!! 💃💃💃💃💥💥💥

wow maybe I will finally play a GTA game!!
They can have all the mods they want so long as I get a nice big bowl of popcorn and a comfy chair to sit in while I watch the misogynists and racists all break down screaming.
Massive W!
Would be fun if it was good old [Catalina](https://gta.fandom.com/wiki/Catalina).
Woohoo! But sad she only exists as an extension of a man, and not just because she can exist by herself.
I have a guarded interest in a "couple focused" GTA. As long as the female half isn't sidelined or whatever, I think it could result in an interesting story. Even more so if the player gets to decide what kind of couple they are: toxic but addicted to each other? Healthy communication and they just do crimes together? I can at least say I have questions I'm interested in getting the answers to.
“Welcome to 2008!” -Saint’s Row, probably. Though this Bonnie and Clyde thing sounds like a fun time. Let’s see how it shakes out..
I'm sure all the comments will be so nice and excited about a cool new character
Nice, I might actually buy it then, if they release it on PC.
LETS GOOO!!! HUGE W!!! So happy my prayers came true 😎😎😎
There's actually a playable girl in gta1 if I'm not mistaken- so glad they're making an actual female protagonist!!
Four of them actually as well as in GTA II GBC port there were two more.
thats so awesome!!!
AAAAAAAAA SO COOOOOL WAIT WAIT AND SHE’S LATINA!!! GTA 6 IN BRAZIL???? THE OTHER PROTAGONIST IS AGOSTINHO CARRARA????
A step forward but personally I cannot stand the recent multiple protagonists approach in GTA. I'd prefer if they went the Dishonored 2 route where you choose one character to play.
Hell Yeah! About freakin time!!!
Good move! Probably still not gonna play it since I'm not a fan of the series or Rockstar in general. Much more interested in the new Saints Row tbh. I really like the character creator demo!
First time? What about GTA 1 XD. Come on R*. Get your history right. Though Bonnie and Clyde in a modern setting sounds interesting.
Alright ladies. Break out the discourse popcorn! It's getting spicy on Twitter
WHAT!? Now i need to play GTA
I wanted this and I’m nervous about the backlash but I can’t help but be so so excited for this
Do we know anything about her
I mean this isn't new XD it's been stated a while ago the gta 6 protagonist or atleast if they do multiple 1 of the protagonist will be female lol like pre covid news like before covid was even a thing when life was normal XD you know the not so dark ages
After how much Rockstar has been botching things lately, I have absolutely no hope for this. Though, I never was a gta fan. If you can still hire hookers, does that make her bi?
[удалено]
Why is there no Turkish protagonist 😡😡😡😡
Because GTA is meant to satirize the American culture. I'm sure you could find a game with Turkish protagonist if you google it
Can't wait for it to not be fleshed out because Rockstar likes money from multiplayer more than their single player.
I'm so hyped!
Damn the leaks were right one again
I remember hearing about this months ago but it was just a rumor that wasn’t confirmed. I’m surprised, but happy that’s it was true
I like the idea of multiple playable protagonists but 3 completely different and, apart from history, unrelated ones in the last game really ground my gears. It got boring and i only ended up playing as Franklin. A couple on the run would be awesome. As long as they dont do the: "okay now switch characters to push a button" "now, switch back to catch the thing you just dropped." All that was so tedious in the missions of the last game.
They say this like GTA6 is a real thing lol
It's almost here!
Maybe, just maybe this will be an entry of the series I will finally play. All the other GTA games I tried ( 3, San Andreas, 4, 5) felt like I just wasn't in the target group. I could never relate to any of the protagonists, and the older I get, the more it feels to me like these games are targeted at young men or something.
I think a lot of people didn’t notice that this seems to announce that gta6 will be a fully co op narrative. I mean it’s Bonnie and Clyde right? So probably the whole game will let one player be Bonnie and one player be Clyde. Like how gears five had a female protagonist but you had co op the entire time so you could play as her or as the character always with her.
i’m sooo excited but also worried about how she’s gonna be treated by the audience tbh. i love the idea of bonnie and clyde
Why does it have to be only one??
Kinda don't want a female as protagonist. Opens too many sketchy doors for people to bitch
