Depressing article.

Misogyny is a hate crime. It fucking is.

That is really grosse- very depressing

As if men didn't kill enough women in real life. I no longer tolerate the gratuitous killing of women for entertainment. Makes a fair amount of TV unwatchable.

Same here with the TV programmes and films.

I've read a bit about it and I think it's a bit sensationalized. Basically players can interact however they want with other characters, there are game play reprecussions for dishonourable behaviour.

And attacking a suffergete would be dishonourable.

Maybe it would have been better to ignore them as characters? Not to exist in the game.

I hope the game makers fix that with a patch.

That's pretty grim reading. And I'm a gamer, not that RDR is my cup of tea.

I'm a gamer and I am playing this game. You can attack any npc. If you made the suffragette unkillable it would be treating them different.
I like that they included her in the game. I got a surge of happiness seeing her out there.
So far they included, breifly, another story about helping a feminist from camp, and i haven't competed it yet but there is a mission about protecting suffragettes while they campaign i believe.
