Well you could kill them and steal it back afterwards I suppose but you do have to pay the fictional game ladies fictional game money, yes. They need it for their fictional kids and to buy fictional food in the fictional grocery store, duh. What, you think they take USD?
But sex work is real work. Rockstar should pay them real money.
They did pay the voice actors real money, and the fictional women use fictional currency. They are being paid both fictionally and IRL. Sucks to suck my guy, get good.
Btw I like that the root of your sarcasm is "No, stripping isn't real work, real ones shouldn't get paid because the fake ones only get fake currency." You're a weird dude.
The pixels and boob meshes should get paid real money.
Here you directly state that getting a lap dance, i.e paying a sex worker for the service she sells, is objectification and you go on to accuse those who engage in such activity of being misogynists. This implies that sex work is not real work, a phrase meant to normalize sex workers and cut down on their judgement, as you can't normalize something if all their customers are also bad people. It also implies you think sex work is something to look down on, likely from a place of "you're better than that" rather than "dern whores," but that's still not very sex positive of you.
You can say dumb shit about your pixel strawman all you want, but putting sex workers as helpless dolls that need to be saved by the hero isn't as progressive as you think it is.
I also think someone should murder the insurance workers' boss.
Mhmm that's 'cause of all that violent imagery no doubt.
