   Just saw the GTA6 trailer. The theme and characters look kind of meh. Some of the street level details look really accurate for Miami but there's like 5x more black people than irl feels like.

     I’m pretty sure it’s because it’s made in the UK during the summer of BLM. The media filter they understand the US by is far off… this could end up being another Saint’s Row.

     They’re not targeting a minority demographic with this, but it’s the same issue Disney has… younger gamers/movie goers already hate Woke shit.

     I don’t think digital blackface isn’t just a fantasy setting as it has an intended political goal.

     @thendrix @romin If I had to guess it's that the GTA games do well with black audiences, or at least they can please black audiences while other audiences don't care.

     @romin doesn't bother me that much, just an observation.

     @Moon fictional game, doesn't need to accurately portray reality

     @teratology @romin it's based on a real place that I live in the current day so I was just comparing and contrasting to what I see when I look around. some of it is very accurate looking.

     @Moon @romin fair enough but some of the outrage over the # of Black people is p weird considering the previous games lol
