GTA going woke?
It boggles my mind that so many people don't realise the entire GTA franchise is a satire of American culture, by the Scottish development studio. It's always been liberal.

This just in, GTA 6 will feature COPS.
But the "corrupt/evil cop" archetype is a staple in the GTA franchise. Remember Tenpenny? Is this just rage bait for right-wingers again?
evil cops is redundant.
They could have just said COPS.
Realistic cops.
Just like GTA IV and V have right? ( neither game has that programed dispite that people insist it's in those games)
They could have just left out the word “evil” there.
Anyway, never mind that - when are they doing a modern take on GTA London?
A GTA game without guns or cuss words would be pretty bland
GTA London? What? Please explain.
They are referring to the standalone expansion set in London in the 1960s for GTA 1 (the top down one), if I'm not mistaken
realistic american cops is woke now? get outta here
More like realistic US cops.
Hmm, it fits to the literal meaning, at least. If you are awake, you see the reality.
Check the sub you're in

What does woke mean?
The real answer is just that it’s a blanket term used by conservatives to refer to liberal ideas. For example, saying that gay marriage should be legal makes you “woke”
To be "woke" is to be aware that things are not all butterflies and puppy dogs, and to acknowledge that fact.
In other words, to be anti-woke is to willingly chose to remain ignorant about all the awful things that are happing in the world, such as racial inequality, for example.
It's a good thing to stay woke.
The recognition that there are entrenched systematic inequalities based on bigotry in American society, and the belief that action should be taken to break them down.

In the South Park game the "difficulty" setting is a slider that changes your skin tone.
It's a fake slider. Cartman just say it will affect every aspect of your life, just not the game one. Still funny af.
Which South Park game has this?
I don't remember it and I'm pretty sure I've played them all.
Either or both of stick of truth and fractured but whole. I can't remember off the top of my head which, but it's definitely there.
I don't remember that in either one and I own both...
Maybe it's time for a replay
Quick googling tells me they don't affect gameplay at all. Being said, I really liked both games and wouldn't ever tell anyone not to get another run in
And Jew is a character class that starts rich, but everyone hates you.
evil cops
You mean cops?
you mean good cops?

Woke?
Like far too many people, OP appears to not understand the definition of woke.
Shit. I don't understand what it means.
Woke simply means being conscious of diversity and discrimination issues happening in your society.
Woke - Anything right wing politicians and media has decided to rile their base against. Defining "woke" any more specifically than that today will mean that the definition is wrong tomorrow because what is or is not "woke" changes almost daily.
someone who is overly worried about issues like discrimination to the point they create their own problems would be one definition.
That definition is really helpful for blocklist curation.
A bad definition, to be sure.
Who cares. Ill be doing so much crime, them pulling me over will be warranted.
They will have to catch me first.
Didn't they have those in gta3?
Racism is an Easter egg in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, Grand Theft Auto IV, and Grand Theft Auto V.

Sounds like this will be the first for racial profiling by police, well if the denial of it happening in V is true.
Sometimes, the cops will say "I only listen to white rappers"
I think that's very funny and poignant satire. It's racism of the most stupid and least consequential order.
racism is an easter egg. wow never thought I'd see those words together.
Yeah I'm pretty sure this is nothing new for the series
