Self-proclaimed “escort, companion, writer, activist” Grace Bellavue took to Twitter last night to provide her thoughts and feelings on Target removing Grand Theft Auto V from its shelves.
“What utter bullsh*t,” she began. “GTA V is a game for adults, by adults. Adults realise they are playing a simulated environment.
“Sex workers campaign that we should be allowed to commercially engage in consensual adult play. GTA V is an adult game. If you have concerns your child is engaging or playing an adult rated game with no context, you should address your parenting.”
Bellavue then compared Target’s decision on GTAV to other aspects of life.
“Why not ban McDonalds because your kid is fat and your parenting is lazy? Utterly ridiculous,” she said. “People are just f*cking lazy. Much easier to ban a game than spend hundreds, even thousands of hours actually erasing social ossue [sic].
“If all the potential rapists spend their lives stoned on the couch just playing a GAME so I can be safe in REALITY, bring it.”
She concluded with an alternative suggestion for Target. “Here’s a happy solution [Target]. Just swap out all the GTAV discs for Minecraft. The younger generation can work and build!”
Grand Theft Auto V is rated R18+ in Australia. Sex worker Nicole of Perth, a woman who helped with a petition that allegedly influenced Target with their decision, says the game grooms “yet another generation of boys to tolerate violence against women”.
