In the inaugural Video Games Weekly on Engadget, the writer reflects on the reactions to the trailer for Grand Theft Auto VI, particularly within queer gaming communities. While the character Jason became an object of desire and humor among queer fans, there were also concerns as some alt-right gamers reacted negatively to this perceived portrayal. The article discusses the paradox of queer players viewing GTA as inclusive, despite the series' historical issues with harmful stereotypes, especially towards transgender individuals. The piece invites dialogue on representation in gaming.
