Yeah, I get it. "Satire." I also get violence against civilians isn't strictly encouraged in Rockstar games but actually it kind of is. When you make NPCs shrill characatures of certain groups of people, you're encouraging players to live out their violent fantasies against these groups.

What purpose does an NPC like this in RDR2 serve other than to say "lol, feminists."

Rockstar has a fucking huge problem with women. Is it really nessessary to take the piss out of suffragettes?

I haven't gotten there but a friend of mine was acting like that mission was very pro-women?

Uh. Ok?

Not sure if I misunderstood the tone of OP, but I'm kind of confused what you're trying to get across there .

Such a huge problem that they had a whole mission about helping them?

You (or the guy in the video) made the active choice to go up to her and be a dick, before that she was just spreading the message in a public place (which according to you is annoying? This seems like a you problem)

I haven't gotten there but a friend of mine was acting like that mission was very pro-women?

Different mission, this is a separate NPC in a different place

I haven't seen any of the videos of her in it but there's a disturbingly high amount of videos on youtube of brutally killing her

Huh? I went on a mission taking some around town, it was perfectly pleasant. The game allows you to be dick. Just don't.

Arthur is not a misogynist.

Oh my goodness.

I don't mind it though because... it's a rockstar game. I expect to be shocked. From what I read you can choose to donate/help to her too. I like having that choice.

Arthur helps out a group of feminists in the story for an entire mission. Yeah, they're kinda played up for laughs but you're driven to help them. Arthur's even probably more obliged NOT to help them because the town you're doing it in is heavily against these protests and you're trying to be on their good side. But the game forces (for lack of a better term) you to help them.

So... this is an odd narrative you're pushing.

There's a whole mission where you escort a women's march. I think it goes with the time period.

OP maybe you should take a break from the game.
Also calling the character a "shrill caricature" and "annoying feminist" says a lot more about you and what you think of feminists than Rockstar. Projecting, much?

I like how people are spinning this as if it's some sort of statement made by Rockstar.

Have you actually played the game? Rockstar paints those women in a very positive light while those that oppose their views are painted negatively. Arthur for example is very much on the side of the women. But the game is open-world and they allow you to kill anyone you want.

I don't get it. It's the player attacking an NPC. The written dialogue for the character isn't even against her cause. The uploader choosed to call her annoying in the title. Going on by this clip, I wouldn't personally call the NPC annoying. But yeah gamers can be trash.

I see another video of "feeding the annoying feminist to an alligator" or something like that, but it's more like the dude's action, the game seems to never actually encourage that. This is on the player, not Rockstar.

It's funny, because for all his flaws, Arthur actually help some woman to get a pro-vote rally.

He also hates the KKK and racists in general.

I lover Arthur's interaction with Lenny, as Lenny tell him some of the troubles he had for being a man of color. And Arthur pretty much tell Lenny he's a good man, and that he's happy to have him as partner.

Nice reach there OP.

You can CHOOSE to punch, shoot, kill anything and anyone in the game. Welcome to every rockstar sandbox game ever.

What are you on about, OP?

There is plenty of real shit to get angry about so I don't know why would you fabricate more.

Anti-feminist idiots probably get their dicks hard by killing her or beating her up.

Can't really say that is Rockstar's fault.

Try and not directly give that dude views if you don't like the vid, here's a substitute.

Also making a whole ass thread about this is extremely weird.

You can literally do that to anyone in the game. Why single this out?

What I want to know why YouTube keeps recommending me this shit.

I don't watch these people and I don't watch "fuck the sjw's" videos either.

Heck I don't even watch RDR videos.

I saw this video recommended to me on YT, and it immediately went to my 'Block user and all his videos' VideoBlocker for YT.
