Im going to make this as clear as I can. When you do Nazi things, no matter whether in your heart you are just goofing around, you contribute to the sum of Nazi things in the world.

That's different because there's a mechanical gameplay advantage to doing that: you get your health restored and you get to keep your money. Therefore it can be argued that someone who kills prostitutes after having sex with them in GTA is not attempting to make any kind of political statement, but rather is just trying to maximize their in-game utility. There is no mechanical gamplay advantage to killing feminists in RDR2. In fact, there's actually a disadvantage because killing feminists lowers your honor meter in the game.

Nah it means they hate sex works in real life.

That sounds to me like he's just lying to cover his ass after all the public criticism he received.

Is someone sexist if they beat up a fictional AND virtual NPC female character?

The answer is "no".

Anyone who honestly thinks it is, has a mental condition.

No distinction between reality and fiction, and no understanding towards context or the joys of shock humor.

Do you also think people who watch violent/horror movies are all sadists?

People who watch any fetish porn means they would want to do it in real life including illegal acts such as rape obviously.

Yes, this topic is primarily about the actions of a player, not a developer. And thank you. At least someone here gets it.

Nah he's just as ignorant as you.

Ummmm, what? Your logic is insane.

Based on that, you must think people who watch historical war movies must loooove war and chaos and the murder of young men.

I want you to prove he has those views. Youre just assuming he does because of something he did in a video game.

Uh... His actions in the game are the proof. A person who supported equal rights wouldn't have made such videos.

This, along with everything else you've posted in this topic, is among the dumbest things I've ever read.

It was certainly sarcasm, but you did not use my logic. Not even close.

The npc he threw to the alligator was bigoted as hell.

Bigotry is not bigotry if you're a Leftist/Liberal/Progressive/etc because they're allowed to be all those things to make themselves feel better about all the perceived wrongs...

The Birth of a Nation may indeed be disgustingly racist, but it was also an artistic masterpiece of its time.

But yes, if someone films themselves performing bigoted acts within video games and reveling in it, then yes, they are a bigoted person, I'd assume.

Seems pretty simple.

Mark David Chapman shooting John Lennon after reading Catcher in the Rye is a pretty simple example of a book inspiring someone to commit violent acts, when the book really shouldn't be at fault.

I didn't know the Catcher in the Rye mentioned John Lennon.
