Nobody wants a female main character. It does not fit the series at all. That's why when GTA 5 did 3 different MCs, all of them were male.
The game will feature a playable female protagonist for the first time,
That statement doesn't mean that there will only be 1 MC and it's a female. It could just be 1 female in an ensemble, which wouldn't be as bad as long as she was a minor character.
Rockstar's plan is to continually update the game over time, adding new missions and cities on a regular basis, which leadership hopes will lead to less crunch during the game's final months.
For fuck's sake, it's going to be a "live service" fucking subscription fee game. A half assed MMO.
This wouldn't be the first time the GTA series had a female protagonist, GTA 1 had some female protagonists to choose from (even if all the protagonists just looked like the same tiny undetailed person during top-down 2D gameplay). But of course Woke Left writing will absolutely prevent a good female protagonist, along with good female characters period. Don't be shocked if they get rid of the prostitutes.
A female protagonist would have been a non-issue, but the regressive left ruined everything so that this often becomes a warning sign of extremist themes and propaganda unless the developer openly hates regressive leftists.
GTA loves to repeat certain cities. GTA 1 had Liberty City, Vice City and San Andreas as stand-ins for New York City, Miami and Los Angeles respectively.
GTA 2 had Anywhere USA an unknown city set in a corporate dystopian future.
GTA London 1969 and GTA London 1963 are the only times that GTA had a city outside of the main 3 that was also real life based, and in this case, the only city that was real life named.

That's like saying Male protagonist wouldn't fit well in Tomb Raider, but then they made Uncharted and it was pretty good.
Cyberpunk 2077 is pretty much GTA. Female protagonist worked as well as male in it.
I think you guys are really overblowing the whole female thing. That's not the story here, that's the bait so you ignore the actual problem : toning down the non-PC elements.
Yeah, but not because of the female protagonist. It's because they fired all the good staff in 2018, the "frat boy culture" dudes, and replaced them with blue haired diversity land whales. And now they'll make the game PC instead of offensive.
I think it's important for people to push back when our community slides down the wrong path.
GTA Vice City already did Miami.
