If you are not already aware a petition passed to get GTA V off the shelves of Australian store Target.

Their reason? "It's a game that encourages players to murder women for entertainment. The incentive is to commit sexual violence against women, then abuse or kill them to proceed or get 'health' points – and now Target are stocking it and promoting it for your Xmas stocking."

This is ridiculous! These people are clearly ill-educated and have no idea about how GTA V works and how if anything killing hookers is far from encouraged because not only do you not get all of your money back (you get a random drop) but you also get chased by police which in most cases will end up in you being killed for the crimed you commited.



Not only is this a very small side activty but it is not IN ANY WAY encourage or at all part of the single player.

Regardless of this why should the game be pulled because you can be violent towards women? If people want gender equality then they shall have it!

So how about we start a petition to get GTA V back on the shelves? If enough people have the same sight as me hopefully we can turn this around.
