In 2025, a female protagonist that is not overtly sexualized in a AAA game is absolutely a red flag for DEI. Because DEI is ubiquitous, so the absence of green flags is a red flag.
A female protagonist in a long running game series that has never had a female protagonist is absolutely a red flag for DEI. Anyone who thinks otherwise is an idiot or a liar.
Incidentally, using the phrase “reactionary” is a huge red flag indicating that you are a crypto lefty. Probably you oppose current day leftism because your greatest fear is an ascendant right wing.
Yup. Countering a valid generalization with “muh outliers” is a classic midwit tell. No one cares if you heard about a woman who lifts heavier than the male average, etc.
I don't think we need to investigate it thoroughly, I just think I haven't seen the overt examples of DEI yet from the single trailer released.
That being said this isn't a game I'm super hype or hopeful for, and it can likely be pozzed to a ridiculous degree with what we have heard and seen from rockstar over the years, so it is fair enough to assume I think.
I've been here since we were on reddit man, I'm not here to subvert you or any right wing movement.
Seeing a (non anime)woman beat up men, seeing women in every single position of power, seeing a black woman be a genius, all I would believe in as DEI. A female character existing isn't DEI, at least imo, but I don't disagree with a lack of green flags for sure. I haven't reserved or plan to reserve/pre-buy GTA6, just keeping my eyes open to see what it is actually like - will you be able to drive into the pride parade or will they cutscene it out/fail a mission because you kill the gays, etc?
I think to simply see 1 minute trailer and then post on people's random 3d printed logos dogshit stupid comments like "DEI slop" on an icon/logo for a game is reactionary, I'm not sure what other word can be used to describe it.

He's doing the whole, we need to investigate this thoroughly to determine what is highly likely and probable based on observed patterns.
These are the "but I know a single mom who isn't batshit (out of millions) so your stereotypes are false" kinda guys.
