[QUOTE=BLOODGA$M;44311347]Michael didn't really strike me as a psychopath, more like he tends to respond to things emotionally and gets dragged into bad situations as a result.[/QUOTE] i always thought the point of michael's character was that despite the wealth and therapy and family he was still just as fucked up and awful as trevor
I conducted my own study, but only with daily mail writers and news articles. I found that daily mail writers are dumb cunts who do the devils bidding.
Just saying. Before GTA5 the most influential Black Character was Cole Train, a huge walking black stereotype.
[QUOTE=Wizards Court;44310730]even the comments have folks laughing at the article, which says something about it. more like most folks are already racist, and just it see as an excuse to be overtly so.[/QUOTE] I agree. I, too, find it an excuse to be racist when one dislikes when someone speaks Spanish, Portugese and Russian in US servers. It's absolutely a joy to be called gringo in broken English and to have language barriers in games that require communication. I mean, sure, there are nice people who are from those places, it's just that it's a shitty thing to join servers of another language and not actually speak that language, then act entitled for everyone else to speak that language. It's like if I, an American who doesn't speak a lick of Russian were to join a Russian server and speak in fluent English and get mad when the remainder of the team doesn't speak English back to me. On the subject of the article, though, this is probably some of the most laughable shit I've read in a while.
[QUOTE=Super Muffin;44317317]Lee is a good character overall, but they still wrote his backstory as a convict who may have killed a man. And the game starts in the back of a cop car. Or are we just going to overlook that part.[/QUOTE] What's the problem with that though?

Or are we just going to overlook that part.[/QUOTE] That's basically what I said. It's not really a problem since it's easy to empathise with Lee and his general behaviour leads you to think he's a good guy. Also his character development is complex enough that you don't jump to conclusions even when knowing that.
