These games are not for children my guy.
also bodies are not inherently sexual like a woman just standing around in a bathing suit is not an inherently sexual thing
twerking is only sexual in the mind of the observer
twerking is only sexual in the mind of the observer
Ikr, twerking is clearly a dialectic
twerking has as many roots in traditional african dance as it does in the club and is something that arose primarily among black women
its overly sexualization is a result of patriarchy and white supremacy twisting a dance that black woman who are comfortable in their bodies are doing to try and play into the racist and sexist stereotypes of the “aggressively sexual” black woman
this is my understanding of the issue from the black feminist point of view that ive read but maybe everyone disagrees with that i dunno
It’s no more sexual than ballet, which is to say quite a bit but there doesn’t have to be.
“Someone call the deparment of transportation on this dumptruck👀” Is the caption under that. You aren’t technically wrong. None of this had to be sexual and shouldn’t be inherently sexual but you are giving Rockstar way to much of a benefit of doubt.
True but Rockstar put that woman in a bikini in a male gazey way intentionally to draw sex sells eyes so I think that in this case that doesn’t apply. (the twerking is a reference to a real life incident, the trailer is full of refrences to “florida man” type incidents).
i dunno i just see a woman in a bikini it really doesnt come across as sexualized at all like im really not seeing it so either im completely wrong on this one or everyone in this sub is objectifying this character and telling on themselves
edit: maybe being a florida man himself who has been to south beach plenty of times its just so tame and normalized to sofla beach culture which has the ocassional women in a micro bikini so small it barely covers the vaginal opening and areolas… ill let yall google pics “south beach micro bikini” if you want to know what i mean
You’re objectively wrong. Unless you’ve never played GTA before, how can you seriously suggest a bikini model in a GTA game is anything but not sexualized? The shots of the women walking around on the beach or raving are not sexual because they’re just existing (though maybe that’ll change once we hear the dialogue), but the ones in the screenshots are twerking and posing seductively. And if you seriously think twerking is not sexual, especially in the US, then you’re probably going to suggest that the strip club in the trailer is not sexual either. And yes, we are objectifying the character because that’s literally the point since the beginning of GTA. Just because you don’t feel anything when you see the girl doesn’t change the nature of the game. I feel nothing when I see Marilyn Monroe, so that means she wasn’t sexualized, right?
i didnt say strippers in a strip club arent sexual why would you imply that
im saying a woman in a really normal swim suit just standing there is not sexual shes just there like looking at the sky or whatever
the woman twerking on the car is doing this wild thing but no, i dont think twerking in and of itself is inherently sexual
and no i dont think just because its in a video game its automatically sexual either
sexualization is as much something in the mind of the viewer as the intention of the person who is dressing the way they are or doing the things they are (or the artist of that model) and in this case as most others people here are sexualizing this stuff themselves as it may be done by the artists
I googled them, and they don’t seem that much smaller than string bikinis from the 80s and 90s. What am I missing? People are being driven wild with lust by this…???
im just saying that the bikini in the trailer is very tame, normal and not sexualized
the pose is just her looking at the sky shes not leaning forward and pushing out her chest or squeezing her breasts together or something ridiculous she like just standing there, i dunno i really truly dont see the sexualization here it jsut seems so mundane and normal
look at it this way, what would be a non sexual way for her to stand? like should she slump and look depressed? should she cover her body? i dont think a woman needs to be covered or stand in such a way that she seems to be shy of her body in order to be nonsexual she can like, i dunno, just be and wear what she wants and thats fine but maybe im wrong

Well at least not in the trailer.

its not obtuse i gain this opinion from a discussion ive read by a black feminist about the way society shames black women and part of that discussion used twerking as an example of how our perceptions of black women and them being “aggressively sexual” is fueled by white supremacy and the person was making that case that most dances in the black community are twisted to be perceived as overly sexual in order to objectify and demean black women in the social sphere when at the day they are dancing their dances and being comfortable in their bodies in their own way
so basically, our perceptions about the sexual nature of this stuff is fueled by sexism and racism and is not necessarily an inherent part of the action
but i guess we arent ready for that struggle session on hexbear yet i dunno
That guy was being weird but I think that was a little harsh.
But it’s GTA, so women are inherently sexual in the game.
The multiplayer definitely is. But these people wouldn’t call for an end of COD because kids play it, but because they might become woke from all the female soldiers committing war crimes (they don’t have a problem with that last part)
I wonder who his audience is now. He went on Infowars and saw how much the right hates him, but a post like this would only appeal to them and would alienate everyone else including groypers. Hinkle has been fully reduced to begging other kids on the playground to dare him to eat a worm.
2.2 million followers so whatever he’s doing he’s figured something out.
with these grifters i always wonder how much of that is organic engagement and how many are just bots paid for by whatever right wing think tank came up with the idea that fake nazbols are the best way to wreck the left
Honestly I think that strategy is working at least on twitter. Ive mentioned it frequently before but there’s so many socially reactionary Hazite “MLs” on twitter, and the social progressive leftists on there feel driven to Ultraism to not be like those people.
i’ve been thinking the same thing lately. it’s primarily designed to stop growth of ML thought/interest among younger people by making it seem virulently socially conservative and drive a wedge around a growing but confused leftist movement
so first of all most of those are not human beings. this is exactly the type of guy to pay for followers.
The first clause is true even if the followers were not paid for
I sort of wonder if the ragebait factor (Pure spectacle?) carries with guys like him, but that doesn’t explain the weird armies of really persistent name-searching infrared globe avatar guys
Grand theft auto was never for children, I’m pretty sure it’s always been an R18 rated game.
Do not ask the gamestop guy circa 2001 if he sold me GTA Vice City when I was clearly under 17.

Cartoon boobs make it M for mature but shooting soldiers in the head is good for growing boys.
This is what you get when your empire superstructure prominently include aggressive religion with manicheist vibes.
also do not go to 2001 and ask certain people certain other questions
Did I fall through a time portal to 2001 or something? Why are all the conservatives losing their shit over GTA again?
Rockstar waited 12 years to release it so they’d get a new generation of moral outrage free advertising.
It’s hilarious because there is literally nothing that could make kids want to play a game more than some asshole in a suit saying the game is too sexual for kids.
Yeah, someone said that this is all astroturfed by Rockstar, and I kind of half believe it. The previous games sold really well due to controversy giving them free publicity. So it wouldn’t surprise me if they wanted this one to also be “controversial” as a form of free advertising.
it honestly does feel like reality’s being shifted by the LHC every 6 months or so
Increasingly convinced I’m in the Dark Place in Alan Wake
Either some org like ADL paid him off to start blatantly conflating Judaism and Zionism in a transparently antisemetic manner or he’s just got the “stooge for the ruling class” brainworms so baked into him that he’s doing it on his own

I thought most capital G Gamers were in favor of sexualizing women in games?
There’s two camps on the reactionary right, those that hyper-sexualize women and see them as fuck toys which a lot of capital G G*mers fall into and then there’s the “trad” camp, which hosts dipshits like Hinkle who want women to be docile and demure (but still be fuck dolls in private).
spoiler
They are actually the same camp
Pretty much but I can still see them squabbling amongst themselves over the “right” amount of hatred and control to put on women.
lolbertarians vs. tradbozos
this is the first I’m learning about this person and is this just like a funny har-har joke the state department is pulling or what
how is this guy real? “MAGA communism” like yeah dude I’m really into Marxism-Chudism what the fuck are you even talking about man
Pretty sure maga communist is more a play towards national socialism.
His views are definitely not communist, I can tell you that
I hate this fucking guy
Game rated M and the ESRB suggests 17+, most kids have to get money from their parents to buy it: STOP MAKING THIS GAME FOR CHILDREN
He is absolutely being paid by Rockstar Games.

The Jews are tired!
If I didn’t see who twet that I would have assumed it was Fartlow’s.
David ben Gurion ghost, shaking in the “INTENSIFYING” meme yelling “MOAR JEWS, MOAR!”
WTF
i think he’s doing a bit, but for the life of me i can’t figure out what he thinks it is. is it supposed to be a dunk on antizionists? does he think the new Treat is too Woke for some other reason so he’s trying to trick the loony left into attacking Our Favorite Game? Is he just trying to get attention by saying something that will get the greatest number of people to call him an idiot (this one is the most likely)? Their brains are so fucking warped.
“Why are the ROOTLESS COSMOPOLITANS releasing their UNARYAN artistic perversion upon the whit…I mean Children of AMERICAN PATRIOTS.”
God I hate this timeline. My Arab friends of all religions are terrified and heartbroken. My anti-Zionist Jewish friends are scared and hopeless and constantly defending themselves.The fash are using it to attack both. Often the same fash will attack Jews and Palestinians, using opposite arguments.
One day there will be a fucking reckoning for this, god willing.
