he didn’t play GTA because it got to the bit where you have to shoot cops and he couldn’t morally do it

How you play a video game is as much a moral choice as writing/reading about the same.

I’ve found it’s a huge red flag when someone’s opinions are always hardline and binary like this. It’s literally choosing to be unreasonable when you never consider nuance, context, etc. I would agree that some issues are black and white, but most things in the world are shades of grey…
