You say that as if I can't just type "Female mobsters" into Google and get back 2 million hits. Here is just a few returned links http://www.thelisticles.net/people-and-politics/top-ten-gangster-females-of-the-world/ http://elitedaily.com/slideshows/baddest-female-gangsters-time/...

See Adam Jensen post and my reply to it

No, that is what organised crime when presented in games and movies tend to do. Like now. In GTA 5. They are making a crime drama so of course there will be no developed females. Says who? Well crime dramas obviously. This is the whole freaking point. When media erases women from stories it...

So your position is that the most expensive game of all time, produced by a staff of hundreds, can't write women other than the most basic characters set up just to laugh at or lust after? Because who can figure out women right lads, am I right, HIGH FIVE BRO! It matters because women...

God all mighty. The objection was not they are all strippers. Playing the game and finding a female character who is not a stripper is not demonstrating that the issue is made up. The GTA 5 wiki lists 38 central characters. 6 of the characters are women. 3 of them are simply girlfriends to...

If you played a video game where all black people were presented as under developed characters simply present for the player to laugh at, would you consider that video game problematic, even racist? That is circular logic. If you write a story without any developed women in it then of course...

Because it would be bad if it did? That is the freaking point. You have to "boil down" the male characters, precisely because the writers have developed them as characters. I'm going off the fact that this reviewer said there was an issue with women in the game, to which the interwebs...

So it isn't misogynistic because it is satirically laughing at wives and feminists. Yeah I'm not sure you really thought that through ... No one is saying it does. That objection was that there are no developed female characters, the only females in the game are ones to laugh at or view as...

In what way is it like that? The reviewer commented on the story, something that is IN THE GAME, not something Rockstar did externally to the game. You always know a reviewer has hit a raw nerve with people when the objections to what the reviewer said are so badly thought out.

For crying out loud. Your first objection to this review was that women characters were all satire, not sexist or misognist. When pressed where the satire actually was and who was being satirised your objection to this review became that strippers and hookers are in real life so why not have...

You keep changing what apparently you think is wrong about this review. First they should be objective. Now they shouldn't give social commentary. The reviewer is commenting on the problematic nature of the story that is in the game. They aren't going off tangent to talk about something...

And pray tell who's "stupidity or vices" are exposed and criticised by having all the women in GTA V be hookers, nagging wives or annoying feminists? You appreciate you have to actually expose and criticise something for it to be satire. Simply putting sexist, racist, homophobic, whatever...

The complaint isn't that the women characters are not nice characters. It is that they are not characters at all, they aren't developed characters in any sense. The writers have clearly spent a great deal of time developing the male characters, even if they are all horrible people, but no time...

Please learn what the word "satire" means. A display of sexism in a manner that highlights the flawed thinking of those who hold such sexists views is satire. A display of sexism because sure isn't it funny, is not satire. The developers of GTA 5 ALREADY KNOW THIS because they do...

The review you linked to is full of the reviewers comments on how much he loved aspects of the game and how much fun it was. How is that "not once in the review is personal preference even brought up"? If a reviewer is allowed comment on how much he, for example, loved a core game play...
