In the South Park game the "difficulty" setting is a slider that changes your skin tone.
And Jew is a character class that starts rich, but everyone hates you.
It's a fake slider. Cartman just say it will affect every aspect of your life, just not the game one. Still funny af.
Which South Park game has this?
I don't remember it and I'm pretty sure I've played them all.
Either or both of stick of truth and fractured but whole. I can't remember off the top of my head which, but it's definitely there.

realistic american cops is woke now? get outta here
Hmm, it fits to the literal meaning, at least. If you are awake, you see the reality.
Check the sub you're in
Me when I dom (I'm blind)
More like realistic US cops.
Didn't they have those in gta3?
And Vice City, and San Andreas.
Yeah I'm pretty sure this is nothing new for the series

That's actually kinda awesome imo. GTA has always been a parody of real life; parodying police brutality against minorities might actually help people to stop and notice when it happens irl (assuming they handle it well).
That said, and I might be misremembering this, didn't postal 2 do this? You never saw it happen to you since the Postal Dude's white, but I swear I remember cops would occasionally randomly arrest people who weren't white. That's not to say that Postal 2 is """woke""", it's about as far from it as you can be; nor do I think that a lot of the jokes would land nowadays because some of the edgier ones were satirizing the politics of the time. However, I vaguely remember it having some really potent satire about society hiding under the crackhead edgy humor (the Postal Dude is literally a crackhead).
evil cops is redundant.
They could have just said COPS.
Realistic cops.
Woke?
Like far too many people, OP appears to not understand the definition of woke.
Are people not aware that this is gaming circle jerk?
Also, as far as I'm aware, highlighting police brutality and racial injustice IS woke
The point is that it's being used as satire by posting in a circlejerk sub, not that it's being used incorrectly.
Shit. I don't understand what it means.
Woke - Anything right wing politicians and media has decided to rile their base against. Defining "woke" any more specifically than that today will mean that the definition is wrong tomorrow because what is or is not "woke" changes almost daily.
Woke simply means being conscious of diversity and discrimination issues happening in your society.

They could have just left out the word “evil” there.
Anyway, never mind that - when are they doing a modern take on GTA London?

But the "corrupt/evil cop" archetype is a staple in the GTA franchise. Remember Tenpenny? Is this just rage bait for right-wingers again?
Who cares. Ill be doing so much crime, them pulling me over will be warranted.
They will have to catch me first.
Just like GTA IV and V have right? ( neither game has that programed dispite that people insist it's in those games)
This just in, GTA 6 will feature COPS.
Have cops pulled over NPC citizens in GTA before? Or is this hinting at a similar multi-character storyline like GTA5?
You could always come across chases going on, there were nocshootouts happening. But I don’t know if you ever saw the race of the npc.

GTA going woke?
It boggles my mind that so many people don't realise the entire GTA franchise is a satire of American culture, by the Scottish development studio. It's always been liberal.
GTA worlds have always been about reflecting what goes on in the real world, either played straight or as a parody. Something like this is not off-brand for Rockstar North at all, and certainly isn't them going woke.
What does woke mean?
The recognition that there are entrenched systematic inequalities based on bigotry in American society, and the belief that action should be taken to break them down.
Source : Ron DeSantis's lawyers (not joking)
DeSantis' general counsel, Ryan Newman, responded that the term means "the belief there are systemic injustices in American society and the need to address them."
But, yeah.
The real answer is just that it’s a blanket term used by conservatives to refer to liberal ideas. For example, saying that gay marriage should be legal makes you “woke”

Smh, everyone knows cops famously love black people. We can't openly say the n word most of the time now, so we basically solved racism.
GTAV already has this for Franklin
