I just have to respond to those who think that playing this game contains the same kind of innocence that motivates someone to play a shooter such as Overwatch. Just because shooting someone else is wrong (arguably worse than sexualing a young woman who I will assume is a consenting adult), does not make the motivations for playing that game right or wrong. Most people who play shooters are doing so for the rush - the competition - the feeding of the survival instinct. There are those who play the games who wish they could kill others, and I believe it is wrong for them to play the game with that kind of intention. What makes this game bad (and this video comical) is that the main drive to play this game is to meet the appetite for over-sexualization of women. There will be the select few (like Alex) who play the game for other, less objectifying reasons, but that is the exception. And if you don't think this objectifies women, then why don't you try this with real women?
But you might then argue that shooting others is treating them as expendable, but as I said earlier, you are more likely viewing others as elevated - as real competition.
Just for full disclosure, I am against gratuitously violent games such as the GTA series.
