The comments in the Guardian article are even better than the ones in SMH.

Why don't they do the same with other movies and music which encourages violence? They are only doing this because the 3 sex workers want compensation from a multi billion dollar gaming industry eg: Rockstar.

 

[obliviousninja]

This is such trivial news

 

[enigma_1]

How is this even going to affect anything? ://

GTA is life. Lemme demonstrate.

"Oi oi. I've got 2 mil and just bought a sick ass house."

This is exactly what I don't understand...

There are other media available which displays/portrays/encourages acts of violence. Why are they not targeted and removed/banned as well???

Someone pls educate me on this matter

Because people are irrational by nature.

Another win for the feminists...

 

[nerdasdasd]

Stupid people

Games don't make people violent

That's not really the argument this time though.

They are saying that GTA V rewards sexual violence towards women because you can have sex with hookers for health and kill them for money.

 

[SylviaB]

fucking feminists

first alcohol, now this

smh

 

[RealiseNothing]

There's now a petition to ban 50 shades of grey.

Really hope this goes through, will be hilarious.

 

[Feynman]

Damn feminazis always ruining things

 

[Speed6]

Just pull 50 shades of grey off the shelves as well then.

 

[Flop21]

lol.

I don't get it, are there not tonnnes of other games 10x more violent than GTA?

And what's the big deal. Target pulls from shelves, so buyers take their business elsewhere and buy it at another store??

Weird. But who knew online petitions actually worked.
