As ever the proponents and apologists for vicious, violent tack and sleaze try to wedge opposite opinion into their own (quite worrying) black and white framework.
I don't recall anybody claiming these games automatically cause murder and the like, but even a deaf, dumb and lobotomized primate would deduce it certainly sends out the wrong signals for one and all. You can't sanely condemn the same sort of behaviour in real-life and then gleefully emulate it in a sick game...and with such emphasis and detail.
Human history might well be full of violence and slaughter, but I expect back then there were far less pseudo-intellectual hypocrites to enjoy or profit from it whilst airing their liberal, goody-goody, 'what ever rocks your boat' credentials. You'd think for the sake of sanity we'd draw a line and say don't EVER cross it. But no, that would take restraint, and if there's one thing the gelded western metro-fag that calls itself modern-man cannot abide nowadays it's self-discipline and restraint. We've only a few taboos left. In a few years time when stuff like GTA 7 (as well as mags, books films etc) has paedophilia included (with a new responsible age limit of 21 of course) the same people defending this trash here will be spouting how this can in no way encourage you or me to fiddle with children. And all the massaging of statistics in the world won't change the reality of rampant, increasing perversion and pointless violence one Iota.
GTA might not command the peons to go out and slaughter people but it definitely says 'Hey! It's no big deal - we take this sort of stuff very lightly anyway.'
