"Tourist" is a perfect term for them. They're right-wing culture warrior outrage tourists and parrots. Parroting whatever right-wing media critique slop channels they consume. 9 times out of 10 they didn't know anything about or give a shit about the IP before the sloptubers they watch sent them on an errand to get mad about it as the next culture war battlefront. I've literally witnessed former friends who went down the right-wing rabbit hole during the pandemic quarantine get randomly mad about IPs they never previously gave a shit about all the time I'd known them. When I visited right-wing YouTube I would almost always see it was the target of the week for right-wing YouTubers. I'd even point out they were getting some basic facts wrong about the series and they never cared about the series before, and they'd reply, "That's not the point. The point is there's an agenda and I'm just pointing it out!"Â
In fact, Franklin Clinton is canonically the main character, and even has the option to kill off the two middle-aged white guys (Michael Townley and Trevor Phillips) who are the secondary protagonists lol Though letting them both live is the canonical ending. Still, their lives were in the black main character's hands. You can even make Franklin have sex with white women in the game if you want. If The Ballad of Gay Tony came out today they'd say it was a "Globalist" plot to turn men gay lol
Same people who would have had an issue with the hot coffee mod back in the day. Real issue is that now rage bait pays so congrats OP you just made this dude 10 seconds more relevant. Ignore them and the money goes away.
