GTA controversial?

I plan on arguing that GTA is not as controversial as some believe. There are many undesired and offensive themes in this game such as sexism and racism along with all of the violence and illegal activities portrayed. I believe that people who play and buy this game know what they are getting into. Some research that I have done on the ratings of GTA clearly warn of many of theses themes, including language, drug and alcohol use, violence, and degradation of women. The game is not for everyone and the people playing it don't buy the game expecting to start playing an educational game. I plan on doing more research of who plays the game, others' opinions of the game, and the effects of the game.
