      It’s a fake slider. Cartman just say it will affect every aspect of your life, just not the game one. Still funny af.

      Which South Park game has this?

      I don’t remember it and I’m pretty sure I’ve played them all.

        Either or both of stick of truth and fractured but whole. I can’t remember off the top of my head which, but it’s definitely there.

            Quick googling tells me they don’t affect gameplay at all. Being said, I really liked both games and wouldn’t ever tell anyone not to get another run in

      Racism is an Easter egg in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, Grand Theft Auto IV, and Grand Theft Auto V.

      https://gta-myths.fandom.com/wiki/Racism

      Sounds like this will be the first for racial profiling by police, well if the denial of it happening in V is true.

        Sometimes, the cops will say “I only listen to white rappers”

        I think that’s very funny and poignant satire. It’s racism of the most stupid and least consequential order.

      I always thought they were more aggressive with Lamar vs Trevor out in Blaine County. At least it always felt that way when playing.

    That’s actually kinda awesome imo. GTA has always been a parody of real life; parodying police brutality against minorities might actually help people to stop and notice when it happens irl (assuming they handle it well).

    That said, and I might be misremembering this, didn’t postal 2 do this? You never saw it happen to you since the Postal Dude’s white, but I swear I remember cops would occasionally randomly arrest people who weren’t white. That’s not to say that Postal 2 is “”“woke”“”, it’s about as far from it as you can be; nor do I think that a lot of the jokes would land nowadays because some of the edgier ones were satirizing the politics of the time. However, I vaguely remember it having some really potent satire about society hiding under the crackhead edgy humor (the Postal Dude is literally a crackhead).

    They could have just left out the word “evil” there.

    Anyway, never mind that - when are they doing a modern take on GTA London?

    But the “corrupt/evil cop” archetype is a staple in the GTA franchise. Remember Tenpenny? Is this just rage bait for right-wingers again?

    Who cares. Ill be doing so much crime, them pulling me over will be warranted.

    They will have to catch me first.

    Just like GTA IV and V have right? ( neither game has that programed dispite that people insist it’s in those games)

    Have cops pulled over NPC citizens in GTA before? Or is this hinting at a similar multi-character storyline like GTA5?

      You could always come across chases going on, there were nocshootouts happening. But I don’t know if you ever saw the race of the npc.

      I think I’ve seen it before, but admittedly I think my actions lead to the interaction.

      Ie: I was driving as one does hit a car which hit a police car leading to the civilian getting shot

        Yeah I think I’ve seen stuff like that, but I don’t think I’ve seen an actual pull-over. Like a car on the side of the road and the cop walking up to it and issuing a ticket. NPC interactions have definitely advanced over the generations of the game, this might actually be interesting to see.

    GTA going woke?

    It boggles my mind that so many people don’t realise the entire GTA franchise is a satire of American culture, by the Scottish development studio. It’s always been liberal.

      The recognition that there are entrenched systematic inequalities based on bigotry in American society, and the belief that action should be taken to break them down.

      Source : Ron DeSantis’s lawyers (not joking)

        DeSantis’ general counsel, Ryan Newman, responded that the term means “the belief there are systemic injustices in American society and the need to address them.”

        But, yeah.

      To be “woke” is to be aware that things are not all butterflies and puppy dogs, and to acknowledge that fact.

      In other words, to be anti-woke is to willingly chose to remain ignorant about all the awful things that are happing in the world, such as racial inequality, for example.

      It’s a good thing to stay woke.

      The real answer is just that it’s a blanket term used by conservatives to refer to liberal ideas. For example, saying that gay marriage should be legal makes you “woke”

      Alternatively, and one adopted by the alt medicine movement, new age and fringe groups, is to be aware of chakras, crystals aliens (Pleiadians, the Grays, etc) and other conspiracies. Basically to buy into the quack. I used to lurk those communities on FB for years often back in the day and was incredibly confused when people meant the other type of woke when the term gained traction.
