GTA worlds have always been about reflecting what goes on in the real world, either played straight or as a parody. Something like this is not off-brand for Rockstar North at all, and certainly isn’t them going woke.

In the remaster trilogy they removed a southern flag from some inbred redneck because they said it’s no longer culturally sensitive. I seriously doubt they would do something like this with the next game.

That was Grove Street Games who made the remaster trilogy. Rockstar North had nothing to do with that.

Oh I know that they were the ones who actually did the work. But Rockstar had to sign off on this stuff in some way. They definitely had a say in what was removed from the game.

You say that as if going woke is a bad thing.

I don’t think woke is a bad thing, I’m just saying this isn’t even a change of course for Rockstar North. They have always done this kind of social commentary in GTA.
