Forums - Gaming Discussion - Does GTA 5's Sex With Prostitutes In First Person Promote Rape Culture? Does it go too far?

The term "rape culture" is quickly becoming a way for women to slam men who have act outwardly sexually in any way. I can't stand it.



Around the Network

Seriously, what's wrong with our society if things like this have to be asked constantly? No, it doesn't promote rape culture. It's simply a certain kind of portrayal of things that happen out there in the real world. This promoted rape culture in the same way that GTA in general promotes killing culture (i.e. it doesn't).



Can we ban this click bait articles threads please?



Gotta make a women sign paper work confirming consent these days....

I don't want to be a prude but they shouldn't have to put it in. I know it's an 18/M rated game but a lot of children play GTA.
My friend who never played GTA let his 8 year old son play GTA 4 until i showed him the game, he told me his son played GTA San An when he was 5. This will be some childs first encounter with sex. Not good in my opinion. Maybe they could release an edited version with no sex, blood and bad language for a younger audience.


It's the parents responsibility to moderate what there children do and don't play. It'll only be the childs first encounter with sex if

A. The parents don't care 

or

B. The parents aren't doing a good job.

 

Children shouldn't be playing GTA, buy them another game.

 

 

Also wtf is rape culture.

GTA V lets me shoot people in the face. But first person sex with a hooker is just too much to handle? Nope, sorry, don't buy it.

I bet that on launch the Nintendo Switch will have no built in in-game voice chat. He bets that it will. The winner gets six months of avatar control over the other user.

Don't blame the game or developers for bad parenting. Your friend should be more involved in their child's life.

That's pretty narrowminded, in my opinion. Yes, people SHOULD take responsibility for their safety, but most certainly does not mean that they are fair game if they don't. The actual blame lies solely on the perpetrator. If someone mugs you on the street, would you appreciate someone saying "Well, you should have been carrying mace."? Yes, mace could have prevented it, but the one who robbed you is the impetus for the crime, not your lack of mace.


"but most certainly does not mean that they are fair game if they don't"

 

what does fair game mean? does that mean that should something happen to them that they are partially responsible? if so then i disagree they would in that case be fair game

 

"The actual blame lies solely on the perpetrator"

 

for initiation of the situation yes, however, the response to that situation falls on my shoulders

 

" would you appreciate someone saying "Well, you should have been carrying mace."?"

 

that is the problem with this whole issue everything must be adjusted to fit what makes women feel good as opposed to what makes sense

regardless of how i would feel about it the fact remains that considering that we live in a world where crime happens, to mitigate against that crime there are several methods we can use

one is as you said the use of mace

 

"the one who robbed you is the impetus for the crime, not your lack of mace."

 

yes they initiated the situation and to respond i have 2 choices take the passive i am a helpless victim route or i can be prepared should something happen



There is no rape culture.
