People call left wing podcast discourse to be terminally online but god damn how did these right wing become such soyboys crying about shooting at ones and zeros.

I hope someone makes a game where if you shoot a cop in the game, a cop magically dies irl.

I think the moral part of a game would be what choices it encourages the player to make. Has anyone seen enough of GTAVI to know or is he talking about GTA in general? I feel like a major theme of the series is that average people commit crime and get into violence because of conditions they are in already. The player character in my view isn't evil or malicious (except maybe Trevor at times? But he does a lot of meth or whatever), I admit I didn't beat GTAV though but I've played through a good portion and all other GTAs. Missions in GTA don't tend to be like, "rob all the old people because it's fun", it's like, your homie is in trouble, you have to help him by shooting the rival gang, which in the situation isn't necessarily immoral. I think that's part of the huge popularity, it doesn't make you feel bad for doing things that are seen as 'bad' like robbery and murder, it doesn't make it seem like something you are supposed to do either really.
