I'm a feminist and I like GTA. Its a freaking fictional video game. What's the real issue is guys taking this video game as an example of how you treat women, not the game itself.
That's good to see they're some people in the world who know what it's real and not.
 
I got some laughs out of the solicit a prostitute section:

"There's one. Oh hi, sweetie." *hits with car* "Oop. OH! Oh, I killed her."

*controller sits on table, vibrates*
"Ok, I think he just finished."

The white girl in the black shirt got it. Good public service announcement at the end too.

It was fine, mostly... except for just providing stereotypes of hipsters... "I wrote a blog about this recently..."

But most of their complaints are pretty fair.

Oh boy. Looks like they intentionally directed them into activities that would get the biggest reactions.

Most of them seemed to be having a right old giggle at the drive-around-oops-a-person stuff that most of GTA is. Some of them seemed pretty intent on not enjoying it regardless of what they were shown.

"To anyone whos ever gone to a strip club, you're not supposed to touch the strippers".

This is pretty funny, they seemed to be enjoying the game until they were purposefully directed to the strip club and prostitutes. You could play a lot of the game without interacting with either.

Eh ... It wasn't that bad, a lot of them got it and some of them made really valid points. So, not a big deal if you actually watched it.

Love that the one woman already knew the deal - its a satire of American culture.
 
This is the grossest shit. This doesn't provide any new meaningful insight on GTA from a feminist perspective. It's literally the most transparent effort from Buzzfeed to capitalize on the drama in the video game community for clicks.

At least some of them found it fun.

Actually it seems most of them realised that it's about player choice like the girl with the reaction when she hit the prostitute. That was your own fault and not something the game forces you to do.

I was kind of surprised to hear one of the feminists say it's ok to solicit a prostitute (as long as you don't kill them after of course).
