I forbindelse med lækket af masser af information om Grand Theft Auto VI, og nu igen efter den første trailer er landet, så er der nogle der insisterer på at spillet allerede er værre end sine forgængere fordi det er "woke". Det kommer blandet af at serien, for første gang, har en kvindelig hovedperson i form af Lucia, der dog deler rampelyset med en mandlig karakter, Jason.
Det er skuespilleren bag Michael i Grand Theft Auto V, Ned Luke, virkelig træt af. I et interview med IGN siger han dette:
"You get a lot of these clowns out here going, 'Rockstar's going woke, they're caving into the wokeness of the world'. First of all, there's been other female protagonists in the past, but obviously not in something as huge as this. GTA 6 is going to be the biggest game ever. She looks like a bada** to me. That last scene where they come busting in, she just looked like a bada**. And the thing that was cool was that she led the way. She kicked open the door, and then Jason was back here. So, I don't know if you read into that as she's going to be the big time and he's going to be with her, or what."
Forhåbentlig vil den kritik forstumme som vi nærmer os spillets lancering i 2025.
