GTA5 Banned for "Violence Against Women" !?

[ByronParticipant 465]

* News: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qkwgvLEZ4u8
* The actual petition: https://www.change.org/p/target-withdraw-grand-theft-auto-5-this-sickening-game-encourages-players-to-commit-sexual-violence-and-kill-women

So, apparently a feminist activist made a petition (subsequently signed by thousands of women) that states:

“It’s a game that encourages players to murder women for entertainment. The incentive is to commit sexual violence against women, then abuse or kill them to proceed or get ‘health’ points – and now Target are stocking it and promoting it for your Xmas stocking.”

Oh, there is more – it continues:

“This is Grand Theft Auto 5. This game means that after various sex acts, players are given options to kill women by punching her unconscious, killing with a machete, bat or guns to get their money returned.”

There is much more. Be sure to check the petition out.

So, apart from being false (you do not get health points from killing women??), it misses that out of nearly 50 story characters killed, only 2 are women (and 1 is not even killed for certain). The game is not targeting women in any way, shape, or form.

Apparently logic or any type of rational thinking is foreign to those rage-infested feminists. Even so, they won and the game was banned in certain stores for “violence against women”. What about men? I guess they are expendable..

This is beyond ridiculous, yet the feminists these days have gone absolutely mad and continue strong with their outlandish claims.

they want to elevate women to an untouchable level, they have this blurred conception that the world revolves around women, it doesn’t !. the game is violent against everyone! men, women, cats, cars, birds. it`s a freaking GAME!! a Car stealing Crime game.

if it gets banned in countries cuz of feminazi then I really don`t know what gamers would do. this is just sad.

I’m suspecting the real reason behind them wanting to banning it is how it mocks the western culture and the feminist mentality in GTA V radio channels. I don`t think it has anything to do with violence, the game it self shows the real nature of women who are poisoned by their stupid ideology, from Michael promiscuous wife and daughter to women walking in the streets, to radio shows characters to trever friends cousin who is married to an alpha female who has a room full of dildos. the whole game is making fun of the lifestyle they created for women. so of course their gonna fight it !!.

Yeah I remember this crap. They tried to ban it in quite a few countries and I think they succeeded in Australia.

I’m not a big games player and had never played GTA before but after I heard the Feminist Thought Police wanted to ban this game I went out and bought a copy.

Welcome to the hysteria of the left, wearing the label “feminist”.  I would recommend that they read the Constitution, particularly the First Amendment.  Then, if they’re willing or able (likely ‘no’ to both of those), they should familiarise themselves with the philosophical values and reasons for freedom of expression and speech and its practical implications.

 

Until they’ll, they’ll keep up the noise while they pursue faux outrage to add meaning to their meaningless lives.

I am glad I kind of walked away from video games for a while. Although I do get irritate on this crap.

As long as women leave tabletop RPGs alone… I will be fine… I guess… o.O

I wonder why the feminazi c~~~s never went after games like this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/7_Sins

where you go around trying to f~~~ as many women as you can… lol.

Never have seen the appeal of the GTA games. Played Vice City and just seemed aimed at immature kids who are easily amused by shock value.

The Children of Doom... Doom's Children. They told my lord the way to the Mountain of Power. They told him to throw down his sword and return to the Earth... Ha! Time enough for the Earth in the grave.

To be honest… i only saw appeal in them… cause you could kill a hooker with a dildo 😀

Only reason why i want to get GTA 5… is so that i can kill another hooker with a dildo… but with better graphics!
LOL!!!!
😛

Yeah, i know… 😛

Oh, and the radio stations are pretty awesome in the game 😀

I don’t buy the argument that video games can cause people to be violent in real life. That is because I played a lot of violent video games in my life. I played GTA San Andreas. And I am the farthest thing from a violent person IN REAL LIFE.

 

 

Women are parasites. Each and every last one of them.

Using the same logic, we’d have to ban:

Tomb Raider series

Assassin’s Creed: Liberation

Assassin’s Creed: Chronicles

Saints Row

Bloodrayne series

American McGee’s Alice

American McGee’s Alice: Madness Returns

Resident Evil series

Catwoman

Metroid series

Perfect Dark series

Diablo series

Final Fantasy series

Any MMO that allows a female player character such as (but not limited to)

World of Warcraft series

Guild Wars series

League of Legends

Star Wars: The Old Republic

et cetera ad nauseum.

In fact, just for posterity let’s tighten the reins on ourselves and set the criteria to “video games that require or allow the player character to be female and whose enemies to be violently acted upon are of a male majority”:

All of the games listed above, and many more.

So let’s reverse that criteria and try to find “video games that require or allow the player character to be male and whose enemies to be violently acted upon are of a female majority”:

None. There aren’t any. Not one. If there is one, post it and I’ll stand corrected but I couldn’t find one and neither could google.

There is lots of comedy in movies and on TV. Does watching comedy make men go out in the streets and tell jokes?

It’s silly to continue with this video games causes violence argument. Every single one of their studies only points to increased aggressive thoughts if anything, which so long as it doesn’t result in an increase in violent crime does not matter. It doesn’t matter if a person is thinking aggressively as long as they aren’t hurting people and committing crime. The only worthy measure of “video games causes violence” would be a significant correlation between video games and violent crime. At least then, we could figure out if we have causation, or something else.

But even when it comes to things like Shakespeare, there is a concept called catharsis that is understood. We don’t complain today that Shakespeare’s plays cause violence towards women, or anyone for that matter. In fact, Shakespeare’s works are taught as literature in schools. When I was in high school (which was not too long ago for me), my English teacher taught us about the concept of catharsis, the release of emotion that comes with experiencing violence in literature, art, or games. Video games have cathartic power, providing a medium in which people can release their aggression so that it doesn’t come out in real life.

This of course has nothing to say about how GTA V is violent towards all people and not just women, but that has already been discussed. I guess catharsis can just be ignored when an agenda must be pushed. I guess the lack of correlation between video games and actual violence can also be ignored too. Remember, the hive agenda is most important! Who cares about facts, right?

They don’t, if any they reduce violence instead, one would take his anger on playing games. Some people play extremely violent and bloody games and are the 1st to try to rescue a pedestrian from a car accident or such, a friend of mine is like that, he would cry if he see somone suffering and then goes home and play dead Island.

Here’s some backlash to what the feminists attempted…. Oh yeah, it sold 45 million at the time of this video. Kudos to Rockstar for having the b~~~~ to release this game.

Because in order to be able to think, you have to risk being offensive.

[MgtowWaveParticipant 4352]

Feminists lie.They always lie.

frankly my dear i don't give a damn

Violent imagery causes violence in young men. Like this image?

The story behind Target banning GTA V is that the majority of their customers are middle aged mothers and women, so when they start bitching Target is going to think of the backlash from their main customer demographic and will pull it from sale.

Mind you it was about a year or so after it launched, so they were selling it on release, so they probably weighed up shutting up a bunch of sooks vs lost sales from GTA V, they would have got the majority of sales from GTA V when it launched and in that first year or so, so really its just a token gesture.

I wouldn’t even give Target the steam off my s~~~, they’re like a general store which sells s~~~ty electronics, s~~~ty clothes, s~~~ty everything.

 

[Puffin StuffParticipant 24979]

OK. I have a son turning 18 this week. He played them all under my supervision.

The worst by far, especially about shooting strippers is “Saints Row”.

Kill the stripper horde!

It was definitely banned in Australia.

When my son’s mom left him the first time, he watched this show and shot all the strippers in the c~~~. I asked his psychologist and he said “as long as he’s not lighting the cat on fire”. That’s true pathology.

Watching video games, what a joke. This is prohibition and nothing more.
