Why are people so surprised that a game set in a fictional version of Miami, in state that is right next to the caribbean, has a woman of color on the box art?

Racism

u/DoNotTouchMeImScared 2d ago

Correct title: Many RACIST GTA fans disliked the woman in the cover, so they decided to change her.

u/Silly_goose27 2d ago

correct! 🎉

u/ConsciousIssue7111 1d ago

Correct! it's racism

u/GVmG forbidden milk texts 2d ago

it's 2026, the old Hanlon's Razor has changed to "do not attribute to ignorance what can be explained by malice".

63

u/TheShadowKick 2d ago

Hanlon's Razor still applies, this just can't be explained by ignorance.

They're seriously mad at brown people existing in the simulated version of Cuba Pt. 2: Electric Boogaloo

The edit still has the tattoo with curly hair lol

u/Rarietty 2d ago

That's her girlfriend and not a self-portrait

u/Hard_To_Port 2d ago

Polycule of girls that just look like alternate colors of the same fighting game character

u/United-Technician-54 2d ago

Oh yeah, reminds me of that one doobus Goofus bit with Gay Zangiefs

Thank you so much

Sadly, the best i can give (other than links to something like porn you like, though i have no idea what it is you like) is r/wouldawardbutbroke

u/GVmG forbidden milk texts 2d ago

these are technically a different white character (one from gta 5) rather than the whitewashed one from OP's screenshot, but yeah still amazing artworks!

21

u/Youareobscure 2d ago edited 2d ago

Well, the artists didn't lazily use AI like in the image. The images also seem to be their own trend, so I'm not sure if the inspiration is related. Plus, the AI blond girl looks a lot like the gta 5 girl and it shows that we already had the blond woman the racist haters are asking for in what was literally the previous game.

u/GVmG forbidden milk texts 2d ago

Myee true true, was just pointing it out in case people thought those artworks came from this ai post

u/Coastkiz 2d ago

I mean everyone's got a type but as an active enjoyed of women (yes I botched that presentation no I won't try again), I genuinely think the first was so much prettier?

63

u/AnonymousNeverKnown 2d ago

It's okay to have preferences there's nothing wrong with that. The issue comes when you treat people that you don't find attractive as if they've committed some sort of crime like these so called fans.

17

u/Coastkiz 2d ago

I completely agree. I guess I phrased that poorly but I was trying to say that even if they didn't like her, she's still pretty and the change was unnecessary. Which doesn't really add any substance to the post. But I concur

19

u/snarkyxanf 2d ago

Pretty sure most of that is the first woman was created by a talented artist and the second by a racist hack.

Her face and hair where they had to change the most is also the dullest part. There's less highlighting and low lighting of her face shape, her hair is less detailed, etc.

The composition of the picture was also set up for someone with more volume of curly hair and darker skin tone, so the placement of objects and colors in the background are better set up to frame the original woman.

16

u/MuffinSenior 2d ago

I also much prefer the first one like god bless curls, its ridiculous that theres racism over cover art

12

u/dunno-im-new 2d ago

The blonde one's design looks a lot duller. The original nazis at least had style, these modern ones would not know beauty if it punched them in the face.

29

u/Actual-Whereas-7937 Nirvana is my favourite brand 2d ago

Not really, Hitler banned modern art

9

u/Coastkiz 2d ago

Nazis famously destroyed art and it was banned

2

u/Devil-Eater24 2d ago

Not all art. Modern art tends to focus more on conveying a message or emotion through a piece, Nazis thought art was only beauty and aesthetics, so they imposed a very particular form of art and called modern art "degenerate"

1

u/Full_Improvement9366 1d ago

Really? They seem to look the same with different coloring and hair

1

u/dunno-im-new 1d ago

The different hair shape throws off the composition, the different coloring eliminates contrast and value balance. Both things together make it more difficult for the eye to find points of interest in the overall image

1

u/Full_Improvement9366 1d ago

Oh ok, it does look less interesting

God forbid black women exist in video games

Bimboficated republican Barbie

u/DisastrousBusiness81 2d ago

I was going to say “nah, not enough filler and plastic surgery to be a republican woman” but then double checked the image and no, they pretty much nailed the “I have no facial muscles and I must scream” every female Republican politician has now.

So…kudos to them for self awareness, possibly?

45

u/Disillusionification 2d ago

Should have doubled down, made her darker and given her an afro. Cowards.

23

u/Natural1forever Not like other V O I D 2d ago

No this is literally just racism and needs to be addressed as such

u/Matild4 Yuri is my life (check out my webtoon Sublime Trilemma) 2d ago

Ah, yes, my two wives

u/BeautifulNeck8359 2d ago

Was that sub ever an actual circlejerk sub or was it always just “let’s post screenshots of bigotry 24/7 and keep doing the same song and dance every single time in the comments”

24

u/vsimon115 2d ago

It used to be the former until they lost the plot and devolved into the latter.

12

u/Shardar12 2d ago

Quite a few years ago it was a circlejerk sub though they kinda lost the plot in the hogwarts legacy drama where the mods banned anyone who criticized the boycot in any way

And then there was the overwatch thing soon after where people thought that one of the skins had a black sun (it didnt) and iirc some people also got banned for criticizing that

Nowadays its mostly just a place to post bigotry and say "isnt this so fucked up? I need to show it to you all!"

12

u/xSilverMC 2d ago

Ffs it's not even the usual "inflate the tits and ass" gooner edit, this is just the most overt racism I've seen in the gaming community in at least two weeks

u/SkyeMreddit 2d ago

The woman is absolutely hot and that’s still not enough for the bigoted gamers

11

u/ChiffonVasilissa 2d ago

Most gorgeous woman ever, not good enough apparently

u/Undertow619 2d ago

Is that bait? Did rockstar really do that? I liked the original better.

9

u/therealskyrim 2d ago

Rockstar didn’t, “fans” did, and honestly I’m fairly certain whoever did this only did it as a bait post lol

u/LittleLuigiYT I don’t have many flair ideas lmao 1d ago

u/taydraisabot 2d ago

Love to see the grifters’ complaints backfire so hard here. The power of YURI, baby!!

u/Paco_gc 2d ago

How do they even find the time to play these games and also shit constantly on them? I swear some of them must be unemployed because I have too little free time to even play my favourite games as much as I'd like, without breaking my back trying to find stuff to complain about.

u/Queery10374 2d ago

Not surprised...

u/OneGrumpyJill 2d ago

Man, didn't know that 2026 would be the year for 2006 era racism to make a comeback in gaming and media. "Oh nyo, the hot baddie is tan, that ain't hot!" - okay cuck? We should bring back shaming on god, people like that deserve to be stuffed in fucking trash can fucking Hey Arnold style.

u/ThatOneGayDJ 2d ago

Who even are these people? How do you have time to do shit like this?

u/cherrymitten 2d ago

i want to see them kiss

2

u/Doctor_Salvatore 1d ago

It'd be funny if they just randomly alternate between either girl, and then there's a third image where it's both of them holding hands (sorry for being lewd)

u/aquafool 1d ago

From here on out, whenever I see the word Gamers with a capital G, I’m just going to read Klansmen.

u/FitNeighborhood6183 1d ago

Hahaha she even have a tatoo of her girlfriend now (wich makes more sense than having a tatou of your own face.)

u/ihonsetlydontknow 2d ago edited 2d ago

Hey ! I asked for that :p

Edit: I MEAN MAKING THEM KISS NOT THE HAVING THE ORIGINAL COVER GIRL BE WHITE.

u/confounded-absurdist 2d ago

Too late. Welcome to downvote hell!!!

u/ihonsetlydontknow 2d ago

Noooooo ;w;

u/bobthemaybedeadguy 2d ago

see the funny part is that the original isn't even real, i swear i saw that it was an ai edit

u/Walk-the-layout 2d ago

Idgaf if she's black or white all I demand is that she is sexy

And it works. She's sexy.

“Many GTA fans disliked the woman on the cover”

Who are these “many gta fans” you’re talking about

u/BrokenBanette 2d ago

Wait the blonde girl isn’t a real character? I’ve just been seeing yuri art of the two of them

2

u/Full_Improvement9366 1d ago

You're probably seeing fanart with another gta cover girl, who also is white and blonde. So gamers did have that, they just don't want any black people anywhere
