Dpe the different genre and target dience, the Grand Theft Auto seri falls to the trap of relyg upon stereotypilly homophobic, biphobic and transphobic nstctns of LGBTQ muni for edic and entertament value. One of the key stereotyp that are drawn upon throughout the game seri is reprentg gay men as effemate, or ‘mp’.

Wh the ‘Grand Theft Auto: IV’ (Rockstar Gam, 2008) ludodrome, there are a number of non-playable pestrian characters who are implied to be gay through the dialogue wh the game. The typ of reprentatn of gay men feed to accurate stereotyp that all gay men love fashn, mils and prent themselv more stereotypilly feme ways (Griffo, 2014). However, some of the dialogue is much more explicly homophobic.

Another major theme wh the reprentatn of gay men wh the game is the sexualisatn of homosexualy, rcg a nuanced inty and reprentg more simplistilly as a sex practice. Historilly, gay men have been characterised as promiscuo (Davi, Pollard, & Archer, 2006) and this was perpetuated socially throughout the 1980s and 1990s durg the AIDs epimic, which was termed ‘the gay plague’ (Strematter, 2008). Whilst none of the police officers explicly exprs their homosexualy, the dialogue is tend to imply that they are.
However, dog so, gay inti are rced to a sexual practice, thereby negatg LGBTQ people's existence outsi of sex.

In this sense, a vast amount of homophobic language is prent throughout the game.
Both terms are nuendos and puns that relate to historilly negative phras for gay men (‘fudge packer’ and ‘arse band’).

Siarly to the reprentatn of gay, lbian and bisexual characters, the game reli on harmful stereotyp for ‘entertament’ value.
