Grand Theft Auto 5: Kmart joins Target in pulling game from sale
Found on The Guardian on Friday, 05 December 2014
Kmart has become the second major retailer to pull controversial video game franchise Grand Theft Auto from its Australian stores.
Target said on Wednesday it would stop selling the game in response to customer complaints sparked by an online petition posted by three women identifying themselves as victims of violence in the sex industry.
“Games should not be treated any differently than books, music, television, or movies rated R18,” Knowles said. “Consumers, which include parents and caregivers, should be allowed to make informed decisions for themselves.”
So it has been pulled because of violence against women in the game. The violence against men in the game didn't seem to be a problem for anybody. So much for equality.
