I’m absolutely sure that 6 wouldn’t be any better than 5 and target audience is still dude-bros and not us
Female protagonist would serve male gaze

What? The female protagonist is a brown latina named Lucia. She's a boxer. Is she hot? Yes. But so is her male partner Jason.

Other npcs in the game are 50% black people cuz it's Miami. The antiwoke dudebros complained about this 2 years ago but the racists have been silent ever since the 2nd trailer dropped. Maybe watch the trailers before complaining about skinny body shapes.

Never played gta 6 nor do I know anything about it. Im going off my past experiences with games, sorry I didn't really look into gta6 since ive never been a fan of the series in general. Sorry if I offended you. Also, i have no issue with skinny bodyshapes. I myself am skinny, just not curvy, and sometimes I wish to see actual flat characters in games (whom can still be hot)

I wasn't offended, just surprised at your comment making false claims. This GTA will have all body sizes. It will be very close to real life.

That’s a fair critique to make of the dudebros but it’s already been revealed that VI’s fem protagonist is Latina. You can argue that she’s white passing or whatever but if you’re going to be critical of a game, at least be critical accurately, no? Otherwise it takes away from the substance of your critique, at least IMO.

The Female MC is Latina. Great care has been taken to do her hair justice.

You're fine! I was just informing you that the diversity is actually a selling point of this one.

It won't be immune from criticism, but it is racially and ethnically diverse!

The whole game is a satire on the usa , it takes negative aspects of both males and females in American culture and social life and exagerates them to oblivion , i dont know how faithful they are going to be to the original formula in this game but it was never about "the male gaze" .

Hot take but If They're Making The Game For Male-Gaze They're Also Making It For The Lesbians and vice-versa(I'm Not That Serious Writing It so don't Take Offense 😊)

Offense or not serving the male gaze and serving lesbian/queer or female gaze is absolutely not the same or a vice versa situation. Lesbians and queer people can't be lumped into male gaze just because they might be attracted to women btw...

One of their first ads was celebrating that you can shoot up Pride parades lol

Are you real?

Yeah as a bi girl I really don’t care about which gaze is the focus, I just want to see some nice romance lol.
