The Sex Workers Outreach Project (SWOP), a US organisation "dedicated to improving the lives of sex-industry workers and to the promotion of a safe working environment for the industry" is the latest group to join the GTA-bashing bandwagon.
In a statement on their website, SWOP says they they are "adamantly opposed to any and all forms of censorship" but due to certain gameplay elements in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, the group are urging concerned parents to vote with their wallets and shop elsewhere.
"In the interest of furthering sex worker’s human and civil rights to life and personal safety, we object to any media which represents sex workers as legitimate targets of violence, rape and murder. Censorship is a blight on the freedoms we hold dear but we wholeheartedly encourage citizens to vote with their dollars by refusing to purchase products which encourage the denigration and destruction of prostitutes.
