I only own Hitman 2 (gifted) not 3, so I don't have a full grasp of what the content was, but apparently he was a limited time Elusive Target at some point in the past. Which surely means they could have just kept their mouths shut and never featured him again and it would amount to exactly the same thing, unless it also means deleting the content for those people who still have it. Maybe a Hitman 3 owner could clarify.

Further on the story.

For those who don't know about the rape case, some interesting facts:

  • it was tried in civil court and there will not be a criminal case, because the director of prosecutions says there is little chance of a conviction

  • McGregor was one of 2 men accused. The other was cleared. So apparently if you Believe All Women 50% of the time, there are no contradictions and no implications for the woman's general credibility.

  • this all comes off the back of McGregor emerging as a dissident political voice in Ireland, so I'm sure it's a very true and real accusation just like it was for Russell Brand and Julian Assange.

These civil trials are ridiculous. In Trump's trial they couldn't even prove he was ever in a room with her, with no physical evidence and 30 years old, and they found him guilty?

Remember the Simpsons episode where Homer is accused of sexual harassment and we get the line “there there, your tears say more than than any real evidence ever could”

The gummi bear and "Homer sleeps in the nude" episode. I remember it well

My favorite is when he interviews him and acts like Homer is attacking him him and then there is the “warning may not have actually happened” disclaimer

In this one, apparently there is no dispute that they had sex, only whether or not it was consensual. A big deal has been made about the fact that she had bruising which some vaxxpeddler said was 'le worst bruising I ever seent' and also the fact that she reportedly had to have a tampon removed with forceps.

At the same time, the jury somehow accepted that the guy who fucked her just after McGregor did so consensually.

They also did not award any punitive or aggravated damages against McGregor.

“Aggravated damages or compensatory damages are for conduct which shocks the plaintiff,” the judge said. “Exemplary [or punitive] damages are damages for conduct which shocks the jury. That’s what you’re doing there.”

These were not awarded. The jury were so shocked and sickened they decided to make no example of this rich man at all. It sounds like a tepid, middling, contradictory verdict from a panel of cowards (8 women and 4 men, if I recall).

Oh, also the judge told the jury not to engage in 'victim-blaming' just before they went off to deliberations, queering the pitch still further.

"Before you talk this case over, just remember #killallmen. That is all"

Courts in Canada too got mandatory feminist comissars ''educating'' judges about things like that, which only make sense if you presume the man accused is guilty by default, which is exactly what Feminists want.

If he's a target then...you're killing him. So you're killing the guy you don't like. Isn't that good?

It's like the castle level in Hitman 2 where you kill the two annoying black sisters. I love that level because the objective is to kill the annoying people.

Or the Elusive Target in Hitman 1 where you kill Harry and Marv from Home Alone. They're bad guys; you're killing them. This is supposed to be a good thing.

Funnily enough, the McGregor Elusive Target is on this level too.
