Did Reds Team President Jinx His Team When He Dared Fans to Leave?

Rockstar is Editing Transphobia Out of GTA V
Rockstar was accused of feeding transphobic behavior because it was creating trans characters designed to irritate fearful gamers, and provide an outlet to abuse those characters. Others accused the game maker of creating trans characters in a way that ridiculed them. The new version appears to have addressed some of these issues.
So what about the 99 other offensive things. Like umm…murder?
In new-gen GTAV/GTAO, Rockstar appear to have disabled the trans caricatures or “drag queens” from spawning outside Cockatoos. This could be following a plea from OutMakingGames last year. I hope this provides comfort to anyone who felt these NPCs depicted harmful stereotypes 🏳️⚧️
