C) Both?

I know it's just a game but still, it's kind of creepy to brag about such things.

Back away/ ignore. There is nothing further to discuss with this person.

If someone brags about their GTA accomplishments in real life, I'm probably just going to assume that they're an immature little shit, but that's just me.

(Anonymous) 2012-12-30 11:38 pm (UTC)(link)
+1, I wouldn't even really call it an accomplishment. That sounds like it's difficult. So this is what they spend their spare time doing and then feel the need to tell people? Not someone I'd bother spending time with.

Beating Supply Lines IS an accomplishment, and I won't hear otherwise.

I'd be profoundly unimpressed, myself. It's not like killing imaginary prostitutes is an accomplishment.

Now, if he'd beaten Dark Souls without the Drake Sword and no Pyromancy, then I'd be impressed.

Anybody from Toronto here thought it was GTA as in Greater Toronto Area for a second there?

Yeah, I'd be creeped out too, OP.

Just... keep it in mind. If it's not backed up by any other comments or behavior, maybe it's ok. However, usually you'll see a pattern of jokes, who they side with in celebrity or fictional stories, offhand comments, etc. If their "harmless" behavior implies that they enjoy violence (especially sexualized violence) against women, keep that in mind and don't be alone with them, and look out for your female friends when they're around him.

It's all a matter of odds. Some are dangerous, some aren't, but once you see enough indicators, yeah, better safe than sorry.

Why is that even a reason to brag? Not only is it creepy as fuck behavior that would make me run away and never come back but it would also make me think they're a loser. Isn't killing prostitutes ridiculously easy in that game? Go do something difficult (and less creepy) and then come brag to me.

(Anonymous) 2012-12-31 12:06 am (UTC)(link)
Apart from anything else, it's the easiest fucking thing to do in the game. You might as well brag about completing the tutorial on easy mode with all the cheats.

GTA =/= reality. Seriously, ignore the immature idiot who thinks it's something to brag about and move on with your life. It's not someone you'd want to associate with anyway.

Probably neither. I've known some totally sane people to go on killings sprees in GTA. If it's just a form of release, and those behaviors don't carry over into r/l, I don't consider it a huge problem. If it shows that they consider violence against prostitutes a-okay in a real life setting, that's another matter.

(Anonymous) 2012-12-31 01:18 am (UTC)(link)
Well...I wouldn't brag about it, but I like indulging in a little gratuitous GTA violence. Am especially fond of the katana.

I'd probably give them shit about it. Like ask "does violence towards women amuse you?" and side eye them. Sometimes I can't help myself.

I'd be neither because chances are he's a harmless gaming nerd, but I'd also know that this was a guy who wasn't emotionally ready to be interacting with actual women.

Anybody who says the best part of GTA is anything but the radio is wrong.

I would tell them that kind of thing makes me uncomfortable so please shut up. If they apologize and change the subject, I can figure they're probably just blowing steam or goofing off when they do such things but could still be a good friend. If they get defensive or mock me, I can tell they're a douche, and quite likely a misogynist, and know they're not worth my time.

But I get why you would feel creeped out or scared, depending on the setting. People should know not to talk like that in polite company, and when a guy acts more informal than you want him to be, especially when it comes to talking about sex and violence, it makes perfect sense to be creeped out.

(Anonymous) 2012-12-31 05:33 am (UTC)(link)
Just give them a funny look and say this:

"I'm sorry you had to take your mother to Prom because no one else would go with you. We're ALL sorry. But you need to let that shit go, man, because high school was a LOOOOONG time ago."

Actually, I'd just find it creepy if I knew any guys who played it at all.

Bragging about it seems attentionwhorey and dumb,
but are you seriously creeped out by this?
Killing people is pretty much the main draw of GTA. Going on crazy rampages, and such.

The only way I could possibly find this even mildly offensive is if you're a prostitute, and he's just saying this shit to put you down.

People are creeped out by this but they love Game of Thrones. IDGI.

Sounds like an idiot. Ignore this person if you are able too. If you can't avoid them just be polite and do nothing more.
