"Put aside the fact that the video game allows players to be violent — in equal measure — to both men and women. Place that aside for a second. That’s a given. Female characters in Grand Theft Auto are poorly drawn; they’re either ‘prostitutes’ or wailing, nagging buffoons."
This is so dumb I don't even know where to start.
First off, you can't just say "Let's ignore this particular counter argument." No, sorry, debate doesn't work like that.
Secondly, the group that wanted GTA V removed from stores specifically mentioned the game's depiction of violence against women as what they're upset about. Bringing up the roles that female GTA characters generally assume is completely worthless in this debate because the group did not mention it. At all. The group specifically pointed to the violence as the source of the problem. So I'm not just going to set aside the fact that you can be just as violent to male characters as female characters, since its all kinds of relevant.
I'd be happy to discuss women's roles in GTA, but that's not what this particular debate is about.
