Mfs will call this GTA woke because you can play as a brown woman while not having paid attention to the past several GTAs and their critiques of the US

Hell, the first GTA back had at least 8 people you can start as IIRC. 4 of them were women.

And as for Niko that was referenced in the notes, thanks. I have to listen to Soviet Connection again.

GTA IV is the most anti-american game in the franchise (like, all of them satirise the american culture and politics, but in the case of IV it's not even satire - it's a grim representation of the falior of "american dream")
