GTA 6 Jason Actor Draws Fire For Reposting Misogynistic Instagram Video

You can reach them at James.t@thegamer.com GTA 6 is really bringing out the 'dude gamer' culture again, with guys making their girlfriends sign absurd contracts that forbid them from hugs, kisses, and demanding help with the housework while they're busying cruising through Leonida. It's a step away from losing composure in a Call of Duty lobby when someone hears a woman—telling her to get back in the kitchen. But it's a little disappointing to see Dylan Rourke, rumored to be playing Jason, spotlighting these weirdos. Rourke reposted a clip to Instagram captioned, "What all the girls will be doing when GTA 6 comes out," with a bunch of guys holding controllers, while the women do manual labor and whittle away in the mines. It's the tired internet trope about how men are the real gamers, as if women aren't as excited about the new Grand Theft Auto as they are. It's not like 46% of gamers are women or anything. And yes, that includes PC, not just mobile. "Oh, So He's A Loser" Of course, Rockstar hasn't confirmed the GTA 6 cast, so Rourke may not be playing Jason, but it has been widely theorized among fans after they found that Manni L. Perez, believed to be Lucia, was following him, and that he was congratulated for a still-unreleased video game role in 2019. There's also the superficial connections: how similar he looks to Jason, and the cadence of his voice. Not to mention that he hasn't commented on or denied the rumors, which might be due to Rockstar's strict NDA. Even reposting a meme like this might be skirting that very same NDA, so it's no surprise that, with all the backlash, he quickly deleted it. But before he did, it was captured by fans and shared all over social media, prompting some amazing responses poking fun at how outdated this kind of joke is. "It's 2026 why are we STILL acting like women don't play video games," @vce_bby said. "Oh, so he's a loser :/" @vspectxrs commented. "I'm making Lucia cheat on him," said @novasbabe. "Yikes, I'll make Lucia a lesbian. There's no other way I fear," @Dandeli0ness said. It's entirely possible Rourke misclicked and scrambled to delete it, but in the likelihood that he was reposting a meme he found funny, it's not exactly a good look. Especially considering it comes from Russian 'trash streamer' Mellstroy (real name Andrey Burim), who was convicted for physically assaulting a woman during a live stream and incited people to storm the Champions League in 2024. So, to those saying the video Rourke reposted was made in good fun and shouldn't be taken seriously, and that it's 'not a big deal', just look at who made it.
