+1. This would be great for immersion, and would surely make the world feel more alive. Personally, I'd use this on my company faction character to create more RP opportunities for my faction members, as well as anyone passing by. I think placing props would catch a lot of people's attention, too.

This has been mentioned here a lot of times before, but I saw it with my own eyes too. This case is not as severe as death threats though. A year ago, my char was riding around in Strawberry, passed by the clothing shop. I see some dude harass a woman (asking for her number and the usual whining). I stopped for a while to observe the situation. The mood of the guy does a 180° and he attacks the woman because of the rejection he had to face and starts beating her up to save the last bits of his ego, now calling her a 'bitch' instead of 'shawty' like he did just a minute ago. He gets surprised that she actually fights back, defending herself, and this causes the guy to get even more pissed off. He runs after her as she tries to flee, and the situation ends when she asks my char for help to take her to the PD. We drive off and the guy runs after my char's motorcycle for a while longer. At the time, I thought it was an unrealistic escalation, but after playing the game a lot more and regularly, I've heard and seen way worse things happen; just look at this thread.

Getting the Green Card has never been easier as a foreigner. I do not even have any legitimate means of employment prior to arriving to the US, yet they allowed me in anyways and welcomed me as a permanent resident. The day after my arrival, me and my buddies formed a criminal organization together. The local government does not think this is a problem.

This is also evident in the way a lot of people are self-inserting. A lot of characters are based on their respective player in a way that they channel their inner OOC frustrations through their characters; be it hating on women or gay people, or anything else you can think of. I doubt many players would do/say such things in real life because there are consequences to those actions, and generally, hate speech or anything of the sort is not socially acceptable in public places and is punishable by law (in most developed countries, at least). This can be also a reason why people prefer to RP as tough characters; it provides them with an escape from their real lives where they cannot do such things and cannot act the way their tough characters act. It's satisfying to be someone powerful and intelligent, when in real life, one is just an average joe who is helpless when it comes to violence. Of course it doesn't have to be a tough character, it could also be a rich supermodel who went to Harvard and looks perfect all the time, or anyone unrealistically perfect/powerful/whatever basically. For many, GTA World is basically just a fantasy, an escape, a possibility to express yourself with nothing to lose.

Being harassed & chatted up by a 15-year-old boy who's also looking for a fight so he can post about it on his social media thread later. He's also holding a beer provided by the owners of the establishment. .. Is this a child grooming ring or a bar???

Okay, okay! This one takes the award.

Agreed, it's cringe when people take a widespread server-specific OOC slur (the term "mallrat" is often associated with people doing legal roleplay/mostly passive roleplay in GTA World) IC. You don't even have to be wearing cat ears or be a lesbian, they will still think you're a mallrat because your character has no interest in crime.
