There was a story about Roblox kids creating Charlie Kirk simulators and that made me laugh

There’s an EARLY mission in the GTA V storyline where you assassinate that universe’s equivalent of Mark Zuckerberg with a literal phone bomb. As in, the phone rings, he puts it to his ear, and it detonates right there. And in the Doomsday Heist you blow up that universe’s equivalent of Elon Musk with missile-equipped jetpacks after the dipshit tried to start a nuclear war with his super AI named Cliffford. I guess they’re cutting it for using the real world names? Maybe people should be more creative and use a non-distinct name for him. Either way it’s still a stupid thing for R* to censor.
Guess they did that because the last thing you currently want to do is getting into the crosshair of the trump gov.
They’re UK based, they don’t care. And if Trump decided to ban GTA VI from sales in the US there would be straight up riots.
Uh, they’re not, Rockstar is an american company, so is the parent company take two
Either way, point stands. If Trump tried to ban GTA VI for being offensive to the regime, the result would be the canon ending of Black Ops 2. AKA, the White House burning down. It’s the most anticipated piece of media in the planet. There would be so many riots that no one would be able to contain it.
Lol people do not care about GTA VI that much dawg.
Just call the target “Chuck” or something.
Chuck Kurk
Cuck Churk seems apt.
It’s gonna be the real name thing, honestly. But I do feel GTA VI is going to be a lot more “censored” than the previous titles, I hope not.
Rockstar has always wanted to be edgey without “being political” and I think this is unfortunately the natural end result of that being applied to an ever bigger and bigger business model, an empty mirror of the worst of US culture without any courage even to grapple with it.
The difference between Charlie Kirk and a Charlie Kirk community mission in GTA is Charlie Kirk advocated for real violence, harassment and oppression with his platform whereas GTA is a fantasy video game.
I think this has to do more with real world names. In both GTA V and GTA Online you kill the equivalent of big CEOs, with the original singleplayer having an early mission where you kill Temu Mark Zuckerberg with a phone bomb, and in Online during the Doomsday Heist you kill Temu Elon Musk with a jetpack armed with missiles.
Fair, that is an important difference I just think you would be much harder pressed to prove in court GTA has meaningfully increased hateful behavior, in comparison Charlie Kirk was entirely optimized for actuating that as a media persona.
I agree any kind of targeted media that uses real names is a different level ethically, but I can’t ignore the context that in terms of real world impact here Charlie Kirk did so much harm vs. GTA which has always been a silly video game series intent on entertaining people.
They literally have JFK assassination games and even columbine shooting games. Why not one for Chuckie?
Columbine happened in the 1990s. I remember when they came out with the DOOM map for it. In the 90s. I never actually played it, but I kinda wanted to.
I feel like if Blood came out after Columbine, they would have had a school level. They did have a grocery store level. Blood was more like Duke Nukem 3D, way more advanced than DOOM, but still that same generation (what people now call boomer shooters).
There are some delicate snowflakes who are pained to leave their safe room echo chambers if content like this exists in the world.
No no, this is the Kharlie Cirk mission, completely different guy.
Fuck
