The Anti-Woke Right Can’t Figure Out How to Stop ‘Grand Theft Auto VI’

Rockstar’s Grand Theft Auto VI, released on November 19, introduces the series’ first mandatory female protagonist, Lucia Caminos, and a relationship mechanic with male lead Jason Duval, prompting backlash from right-wing gamers who claim the game promotes “woke” values. Critics on X and YouTube allege the dialogue and character design reflect feminist or LGBTQ agendas, despite Rockstar’s statements that the Miami-inspired setting aims to reflect realistic diversity.
