"It's a game that encourages players to murder women for entertainment. The incentive is to commit sexual violence against women, then abuse or kill them to proceed or get 'health' points – and now Target are stocking it and promoting it for your Xmas stocking," the petition said.
"This misogynistic GTA V literally makes a game of bashing, killing and horrific violence against women."

garry's mod lets me spawn like 30 nude models of kasumi from dead or alive and crush them with a giant penis into a bloody mess. can we ban that nextGMod is online-only and Valve has more sense than to pull any games from Steam.

Those poor virtual men always get the short end of the stick when it comes to woes. :P

So the main objective of Grand Theft Auto is to be a woman-beating sack of shit, nice to know I was wrong. Here I thought it was about being involved in the affairs of organized crime, how silly.
because the main objective in MY copy is completely different.Is it the genetic engineering of a unicorn and the cleansing of ocean pollution ?
i dont think the joke was meant to be taken literally like thatno it wasnt. no other joke example would work either because it's very unlikely it would happen. "pull mortal kombat from shelves because you can do fatalities on women" "Well, Actuallyl, thats probably not going to happen, because,". if jokes "fell flat" because they're not plausible then you're killing off most comedy ever
A bit of context on this: The Australian arms of Target and Kmart are owned by the same group, Wesfarmers. If something gets pulled from one, it generally gets pulled from the other. So it's not really indicative of building momentum to a ban.
But if you ask me, GTAV getting pulled probably has less to do with the petition, and more to do with pre-empting the outrage Target would've suffered if people had noticed this earlier:

That's the top of a full-page ad in the largest national newspaper, advertising Grand Theft Auto V as a children's toy. Because videogames are for children, don'tcha know.
Somebody should get fired for thatThis. That's just poor product placement; doesn't mean they should STOP CARRYING THE FUCKING GAME OVER BULLSHIT CLAIMS THAT HAVE NO FACTUAL BASIS TO THEM.
