Speaker A
If only you knew how bad things really are. Rockstar CEO is crashing out, and understandably at this point, because somehow people, for the most part, are in agreement about GTA 6. The graphics are good enough. They're fine. It's not exactly anything groundbreaking, but they're good. They're fine. They're okay. People are willing to accept it.
Speaker A
It's fine. But story-wise, oh boy. Now that is a different conversation entirely. It is not exactly the worst thing ever. No one's really saying that. But it does seem like we're going to have some serious issues. And the real problem is obviously Jason. And
Speaker A
this tweet is pretty good in explaining what the main problem currently is for a lot, the majority of people, in fact. It seems like Jason in GTA 6 is not good at all. Simple and straight to the point,
Speaker A
he's low energy and boring. Now, I would not say that he's necessarily boring or low energy because Rockstar did actually portray him as a pretty skilled individual, which I did actually like.
Speaker A
He looks buff, he looks strong, he looks manly. I do appreciate that, and I do like that about him as a character.
Speaker A
Just looks wise good. Some people are saying that they don't like his voice. It was a little bit strange hearing it for the first time, but it grew on me pretty fast, so that's not a problem, at least for me. But yeah, he is very tame,
Speaker A
even though he's shown to be resourceful and skillful, aka, you know, when, uh, when they're being bodyguards to that group and he does the grenade in the elevator thing. That's pretty cool.
Speaker A
I mean, who did not like that? That is a good show of him as a character on how good he can be potentially. But dialogue-wise, oof, this is where we're having really big problems. I mean, even Cloud from GTA 3 has more
Speaker A
personality than him. And that is a hard thing to admit, but currently it does look like that because currently most, the most, the most Jason actually says when Lucia bosses him around, because that's what's happening here. And that's
Speaker A
the big problem. His answers are like, "Uh, yeah, that's it. That's Jason's personality." It's pretty clear what's happening. And it's kind of a little bit sad because these times, this GTA is no longer around.
Speaker A
We are women. We are free. We're bringing down the patriarchy. We are women. Our pain. We are women. Hear our shout. We are women. Have no doubt. We are women. We are free. We are shut the [ __ ] up.
Speaker A
Never gets old, boys. And this GTA is long gone. We already know the developers. The CEO has stated that misogyny has no place in GTA. So, there is not going to be a single moment like this in GTA. Saying no to a woman in GTA
Speaker A
6 is probably going to be illegal in general. And I mean, it's very clear, uh, this tweet from Mark. All right. So Jason is very clearly a secondary character to Lucia. He has no agency beyond her whatsoever. Yeah.
Speaker A
Absolutely on point. This is true. This is what the situation looks like. Jason, she just berates him. She tells him what to do and stuff like that. It's just there are some moments, again, there are some moments where they almost try to
Speaker A
make this relationship almost work again. When the fighting starts, she does say that, "Oh Jason, you did a good thing," blah, blah, blah, blah, but it's just like one line of positive and unlikable characteristics versus 20 lines of not
Speaker A
really respecting him or even treating him as a human being. I don't think this is going to be good. And a lot of people are seeing this, and a lot of people are not liking this.
Speaker A
And I absolutely love this tweet personally. Girl boss and her boy loser. I mean, this is what we got. This is what they chose to show us, by the way.
Speaker A
Yeah. I mean, here's Lucia beating the [ __ ] out of two grown men because obviously. And here's Jason, you know, the guy with the military background being absolutely pummeled in a homemade wrestling ring. I mean, it's kind of clear. We have not seen a
Speaker A
single... We have plenty, plenty of footage and examples of Lucia being a girl boss. Wrong, blah, blah, blah. And we don't have any of that from Jason. He's just like, "Yes, sweetie. Yes, dear." Okay, I will sit in the... I will sit in
Speaker A
Sneo's chair. It's going to be great. And if you're wondering why, well, that's because this is the current Rockstar that has made this. And this is no joke, by the way. This is the current Rockstar that has made GTA 6. And it
Speaker A
gets worse. It gets [ __ ] worse. I just found another mentally illiberal woman who unfortunately works on GTA 6.
Speaker A
She's crying, calling people's criticism, and yes, criticism about abuse against female game devs, and this is no joke. I unfortunately had to lock the replies. I thank all of you for the incredible amount of support and
Speaker A
overwhelming positive comments. And let's just dissect this statement just a little. Okay, about GTA 6 extended look.
Speaker A
Unfortunately, a few nasty comments risk spoiling the, uh, the joy, and I don't have to listen to abuse against, uh, female game devs. So, let's just take apart what she said here. How absolutely insanely, and I'm using this word
Speaker A
unironically at this point, entitled is this kind of behavior. This is like serious entitlement. The fact that you're telling me the overall arcing response to your woman-yeah moment is positive, but because like five people decided to say no, you now need
Speaker A
to lock the replies because you can't handle this. Is this what you're telling us? Either you're lying and most people are negative about this, or you're legitimately incapable of taking any criticism.
Speaker A
Imagine a hundred million comments being positive and there's like two people being negative against you and you lock the comments. I'm sorry, but I mean, I cannot trust you with anything in that case because it's clear that you cannot
Speaker A
handle life. Okay, that is insane. And instantaneously just calling it abuse against female game developers.
Speaker A
That's just, again, classic shifting the blame, not taking responsibility for anything. Okay, criticism against her cannot be anything reasonable. It has to be some form of bad thing. Like if someone, if I, if I was a boss
Speaker A
and someone literally wrote something like this, I would be like, "Oh [ __ ], we need to fire this person stat because they are insane." Like they are not fit to live in the world.
Speaker A
Yeah. And I mean, it's showing the fact that these are the people who made GTA 6 because, uh, look at this. This is... This character is called Veronica, and she's from GTA Online, and she's beautiful. She looks very good. She looks feminine. She
Speaker A
looks nice. She's pretty gorgeous. Okay, this is her in GTA 5, by the way. So, it's the same character, and she's going to be here for, um, she's going to be a part of the story. How big, we don't know, but she's
Speaker A
definitely going to be at least a small bit of the early portions of the story.
Speaker A
Who knows how much. But this is a great-looking character. She looks good. She looks nice. She's likable. Okay.
Speaker A
And this is what everyone's also noticing. Lucia is, well, she's not, again, they didn't make her ugly, ugly, but man, she is that 25% Concord look. Okay. Every other female character that we have seen so far
Speaker A
absolutely mosses her. And this is because these female game devs cannot, uh, cannot allow you to play a hot character because she needs to be uglified to a certain extent. Again, this is your main playable character.
Speaker A
This is literally just the hottie we showed previously. And this is also someone who's clearly, by the way, twice as old as Lucia. And I mean, she's also still better looking than her. It is quite [ __ ] insane.
Speaker A
Okay. And you can, if you want, you can say, "Oh no one cares. No one cares." Listen.
Speaker A
And I mean, I can't stand Jason's voice. The voice is not a big, a big issue. But the dialogue, the dialogue, listen to this dialogue right here, boys.
Speaker A
He's just cautious. It's probably why he survived so long. We could learn something. Maybe you could.
Speaker A
Ouch. That is a lot of attitude. I'm sorry. Did he go to prison or did yo
Speaker A
Ouch. That is a lot of attitude. I'm sorry. Did he go to prison or did you go to prison? Okay. That is This is not a good relationship. This is not a good dynamic.
Speaker A
Okay. If this was Trevor and and Michael, yeah, it would have worked. If it was, you know, Trevor or Franklin would have worked. If it was Michael or Franklin could have also easily worked, but this just doesn't work. I mean, this
Speaker A
is seven [ __ ] seconds and the dialogue is already offputting. I don't like it. Not a lot of people like it.
Speaker A
You're the perfect criminal. Jason, Lucia? Yeah. Yeah. We got to go. Go. Yeah, go like right [ __ ] now. Also notice how she's the one driving again.
Speaker A
Jason is just kind of there, you know, being her [ __ ] That's essentially what's happening through most of everything that we have seen. Again, he has absolutely no say in anything.
Speaker A
Lucille tells him what to do, where to go, what's happening. If anything's going wrong, it's his fault probably.
Speaker A
It's It's not It doesn't look good. [ __ ] He's cautious, right? [screaming] And then it's like, oh my god, woman poverty.
Speaker A
We saw that mask mechanic, by the way, at the end. That's going to be a mechanic in the game that, you know, if you wear a mask, people are not going to recognize you when you do crimes and
Speaker A
whatnot. Pretty nice. And I mean it looks I I don't know if this is real, but they potentially got the hottest NPC in the game. Okay, everyone loved her.
Speaker A
Obviously, maybe that's not good enough. So, here's a little bit of cellulite. So, for your enjoyment, you know, let's just make it worse. Okay, let's just make it worse. I don't know if this is true or not, honestly, but I would not
Speaker A
be even surprised at this point. And also in general, the the fact that we have literal [ __ ] neon being put in the game is just the saddest thing I have seen in my life.
Speaker A
Oh [ __ ] Who the [ __ ] are you? Who the [ __ ] is this?
Speaker A
Oh, it's a truck. Wait, did you steal my friend's car? Yeah. Holy [ __ ] Chad, what do we do?
Speaker A
I'm just so tired. Honestly, this is the saddest thing ever. Okay, imagine being a woman above everything else and watching Neon stream. That is just pathetic. Okay, if you're a man, that's pathetic. But ouch. I mean, there's levels to these things. And you know,
Speaker A
obviously you also have uh potentially Lucy's love interest because of course the lesbian love interest is Lucy's. Uh she also well she's she's obviously trash because she has tattoos. of women with tattoos is always bad news. But but
Speaker A
she still looks a hund times better than Lucia. And I mean uh you kind of can't tell here because it's low quality, but you have probably seen her. She also completely destroys her on looks. Well, Lucia is arguably the ugliest character
Speaker A
in GTA 6 and you for some reason it's the main female protagonist. Makes you think. Makes you think. Also, by the way, can you imagine how this lesbian relationship is going to go? Lucia like comes back and over Jason and says,
Speaker A
"Jason, I have found the woman finally. I don't need you anymore." And he's like, "Yeah, I mean, it's going to be pathetic. It is. It's not going to be okay. It's it's just not going to be good." And, you
Speaker A
know, there's a lot of discussion about this. Some people are also obviously praising how this looks. For example, this eh I personally do not adore it in the slightest, but hey, it is what it is. Again, not the worst, but I mean,
Speaker A
she gets mocked by literally every female character currently that we have seen so far. And that's that's sus to say the least. In any case, that's pretty much it. Thanks for watching.
Speaker A
Have a nice day. Like the video. Thanks for listening a second. Bye.
