The GTA series certainly isn't female-friendly. Loved by teenagers, it has become one itself: yet in the 16 years of its existence, it hasn't once offered players the chance to experience its sprawling scenery and high-octane thrills as a female character. In the latest instalment, released last week, women are once again pushed to the margins.
You can rescue one whose car has broken down, spy on another having sex with her boyfriend while she checks her phone, and, of course, visit the obligatory strip club and "make it rain" bank notes. There aren't any female characters to root for, be impressed by, or even fall in love with. It was the same in the last game: women were there to nag you, or be bribed – whether with fancy dinners or cold, hard cash – into having sex with you. Women are GTA's wallpaper.
Target Audience
The target audience for this story will be young adults and teens, also i believe this story will attract both sides of gender because its talking about how females are being represented within a male dominated video game. if we were talking demographically then the target audience would be the groups D/E.
The Impact
I believe that this story has a big impact because the game is so well known around the world and its one the most popular games created so many people might not like the new image of gta. This game creates a huge impact because it involves more of a male dominated story line and women are looked down upon even more in GTA5
