Women ruined gaming again… Note: This is my first EVER scripted & researched video essay commentary video! Leave a like to let me know if you want more of this kind of video in the future!

This video is interesting insofar as it's the creator's first venture into video commentary. Due to the hype surrounding GTA6, the fascist/anti-feminist backlash bleeds into the mainstream and now people who had previously not been aware of the fascist/anti-feminist content on social media are exposed to it. [Most of the fascist/anti-feminist content creators she mentions are the usual suspects of fascist/anti-feminist content and have been at it for years.]

They pushed Niko's relationships with everyone in GTA 4, and people look back on that fairly fondly.

This just seems like fake outrage.

Just finished replaying gta4 a week ago, I just ignored the relationship bait and had no issues. It's entirely optional.

Well, I think their outrage is very real, it's just also very stupid.
