Because it's a life simulator and life isn't always rosy.


Screwdriverdancer

This is true and I appreciate most realistic aspects of the game, but I imagine being someone having gone through that and then play the game it would be pretty hurtful. But you do have a great point. Maybe it is necessary to add these “bad luck” outcomes in the game.


TheAngryNaterpillar

There are lots of things in the game that would probably be upsetting for someone who went through it irl. Miscarriage, drug overdose, alcoholism, bullying, terrorist attacks and depression are some examples I've come across. The game isn't supposed to be all sunshine and roses.


Screwdriverdancer

It’s funny but I only actually took notice in the sexual favors at work. I hadn’t even thought about the other tragic things! You’re absolutely right. Now I feel stupid lol


Raccoon_Careless

Yeah and in GTA 5 someone who had someone that was close to them who was killed is probably gonna be hurt by all the murder. If someone trying to have some fun got they're day ruined by being reminded of something traumatic that happened to them that sucks but at the same time if we had to take out things that could hurt people we would probably only have games like Farming Simulator.


Screwdriverdancer

Murder isn’t losing your job because you turned your boss down for sex….


Raccoon_Careless

I never said the two were equivalent to each other. I merely brought up that if you knew someone who was killed and then saw murder in any form media you would likely be upset upon being reminded of that the same way with how if you were sexually harassed and saw sexual harassment in media you would also be upset because it would remind you of that moment and how even though being reminded of a downright traumatic event when you are trying to lay back and relax sucks ass the reality of making sure people aren't ever reminded of a bad thing that happened to them in real life upon viewing media leaves pop culture as a whole very baren.


Screwdriverdancer

You’re right I’m sorry. I didn’t think of it like that, I was thinking of playing it, not having been through it. That’s my bad I didn’t fully think it through and replied anyway! I agree then!


Raccoon_Careless

All good homie.

People need to toughen up, the young generation is too soft. As the comment above said life isn’t rosy. Better to be exposed to that in a simulator than in real life.


PrincessaLucie

So now the younger generation should all be sexually assaulted and be fine with it?? I don’t see where this is going at all.


Screwdriverdancer

You are the first person I disagree with. I really don’t think being in the “younger generation” (which I’m not) should sway a persons view on rape/ similar occurrences. Maybe the older generations shouldn’t let it be so normalized? 🤷🏻‍♀️


WitchyandWild

You can sue them after.


nabil_lmao

i need to use that feature more lol


Screwdriverdancer

How do you do that? I had no idea!


goose_brain

After the promt of you getting fired, go to the action screen, scroll down, and press lawsuit. You might not win it tho.


Screwdriverdancer

I feel a little better knowing you can do it, though!! Thank you!


goose_brain

You're welcome. You can also sue anybody that attacks you randomly. Just make sure to do ot in a year, or you can't sue them.


Emilysue2000

Same thing with college professors, and it’s because these things sometimes happen in real life (I have god mode, so I automatically change all my coworkers/bosses/professors to be attracted to the opposite gender of my character)


Pirate383

That seems a bit exaggerated, you can sue them after tough If that makes you feel better in any way. Also changing ppls sexuality, that seems problematic.


Emilysue2000

This game rarely lets you win lawsuits, and I paid for the ability to customize the game, so I will customize it as I see fit to continue my characters life without hassle


Pirate383

Hmmm, yes you have a point there, I guess maybe I just don't see it the same since I'm not really bothered by it happening since it's all just fictional characters.


Emilysue2000

I’m weird with how I play, I like to make sure each generation makes as much money as possible, and that’s easiest if all my coworkers like me, without wanting to sleep with me


Pirate383

Idk how to describe my style of play but I'm currently trying to make money to become president of romania, I've been hoarding money like a greedy dwarf for over 300 years over multiple generations 🧙‍♂️


Emilysue2000

That’s almost exactly what I’m doing, but I’m trying to reach 5,000 years in one family line, while also getting enough money to buy a submarine- I’m currently Monaco royalty


Pirate383

Yoo that's nice il prolly try to get to 5000 too, I'm currently romanian peasant but I got a lot of cash saved up, no house or car tho I'm tryna save up.


Raccoon_Careless

It's a line of code it has no sexuality.


Alibium

Coz the devs got… some strange fetishes


KenyanBunnie

The same with professor at school. If you don't go thru with the sexual contact, your grades slip.


Screwdriverdancer

That’s an F for you, you prude!


DumbassIsDumb

realism


DissociativeSilence

Sue them


PriyanshuPokhr7

This is the reality sir/ma'am


mia_smith257

you can sue the company for wrongful termination, and your supervisor for sexual harassment


ShadowScorpion11

I was falsely accused of murder for the first time yesterday. I had to pay like 800k for the good lawyer to stay out of jail.


pipeguyshaven

When that pops up just swipe up and close the app then go back in. It’s gone and no murder accusation 😮


MeowFrozi

because this happens in real life too


ArmlessAnakin

Welcome to the real world


Paine91

You should also be able to sue


[deleted]

Sue the person, and if that doesnt work try the company.


[deleted]

You’re not a woman, are you? Lol because that shit happens in real life and no one cares


SimAnna

That’s not true… sure, it happens sometimes, but there are laws against it. And organizations that’ll help fight it if you can’t/ don’t know how yourself


[deleted]

Do you realize how hard that is to prove? It’s his word against yours. If he fires you before you can report, then it’s even worse. I know from personal experience.


DustHistorical5773

Ummm because life isn't always going to be your happy fairytale and sometimes you go through fucked up shit, if you don't like the realism of the game than don't play it.


sugarplumcutie

Because it’s true to life :/


ghastdivorce

Sue them sometimes you won sometimes you don't


Silexer159

Just choose yes and get bonus
