Sanders Just Won!
Ouroboros
Coincidentia oppositorum
Someone is Jokingly Wringing the acronyms.
But mine is the best because it's so timely & uplifting.
I proclaim a win!
GROUP HUG!
Ehhm...
I see. Word by word meaning, it sounds like a compliment to me. Oh well, the West never ceases to amaze me!
Idioms work that way, ie, the literal meaning of the individual words don't apply when arranged together.
Examples: "jungle bunny", "red neck", "tree hugger", "rain maker", "getting to first base"
In all languages, idioms can be difficult to recognize & interpret.
Arabic must have them too.
Yes, we have idiots too.
In essence, it SHOULD be. But the people who throw it out there couldn't be more insulting when they say it.
We western folks are pretty weird ourselves. We behead folks behind closed doors instead of in a public square. Strange, no?

Yeah, gotta love ya for that. It keeps public places clean
I don't know if they necessarily use sexist stereotypes all that often, though.
In San Andreas you have Catalina, who is very........"passionate." She loves CJ but is very much a violent crazy person, much like every single other character in the game who helps CJ.
CJ's sister, Kendl isn't a bad representation either and I'm not entirely sure what stereotype she's supposed to be. A 90s girl? She's no ghetto hood rat, nor is she a stereotypical black woman. She's intelligent, independent, strong willed, feisty, doesn't take any ****, has leadership qualities and is talented at running a business. She pretty much makes CJ financially successful in the later parts of the game and runs his chop shop. Though she's not above leaning on her brother's violent tendencies to protect her honor when she is hurt.
I suppose you kidnap that lady in IV. But even she is no push over and fights you tooth and nail all the way. You have Roman's girlfriend and Elizabeta, who are not really sexist stereotypes. Maybe race stereotypes?
V pretty much uses all the stereotypes in can possibly cram in. All the while mocking them through various dialogue. And even then, the closest sexist portrayal is probably Micheal's daughter. But even that is more "spoilt brat princess."
Then Franklin's ex, who is the catalyst for his step up in crime in order to impress her. She's no stereotype. She's clearly intelligent, values loyalty (she tells Frank to save his best friend) and is strong willed.
As for strippers and hookers, the game doesn't encourage you to visit strip clubs in order to have sex. You can do that if you desire, but where I live you actually can literally do that (we have legal brothels.) So really, isn't the franchise as sexist as one wants it to be? I mean ultimately? It probably leans on racist stereotypes more than sexist ones. At least the later ones. I can't remember Vice or Liberty City Stories very well though.
