Ned Luke facepalms over GTA 6 fan theory linking Tracy De Santa
Source: Rockstar Games
GTA 6 anticipation has fans pouring over every frame of the trailer, attempting to link it to past games. One fan theory recently went viral, with the
"mud girl"
in the first trailer being suggested as Tracy De Santa, Michael's daughter from GTA 5. Ned Luke, the voice actor for Michael, replied with a straightforward but revealing facepalm emoji, fueling discussion throughout the GTA community.
Ned Luke reacts to Tracy De Santa theory with a facepalm
Ned Luke's response to the theory was concise but emphatic. When a fan posited that the
"mud girl"
in the
GTA 6 trailer
could be an older Tracy De Santa, Luke took to social media and replied with a simple facepalm emoji. Most took this as his way of shutting down the theory altogether, which meant that the fan speculation was way off the mark.

The community was quick to catch onto his reaction. On Reddit and other fan forums, some players praised Luke for being honest and dispelling misinformation early, proposing that stretching connections between games can sometimes go too far. Others did argue that there are still points of comparison between Tracy and
'mud girl'
in the trailer, and that Luke's reaction shouldn't shut down creative fan theories entirely.
Fans polarized on theory and Ned Luke's fan interaction
While Ned Luke's facepalm did fuel the debate, it also served to expose his complex relationship with the GTA fan base. Most fans love his humor and straightforward interaction with fans, particularly his analysis of GTA 6's initial trailer. His open, no-filter style tends to provide a new angle that fans value.
But some believe that his condescending or sarcastic tone too often puts parts of the community off, particularly those who like to theorize and link past GTA games. This episode illustrates just how much passion is wrapped up in the GTA franchise, eager to argue theories, tidbits, and character connections even years down the line.
Ned Luke's plain facepalm sparked an even larger discussion among fans willing to connect GTA 6 to previous installments. Whether interpreted as putting the kibosh on outlandish rumors or merely enjoying the humor, his response again validates the community's involvement in each and every piece of information Rockstar releases.

Ethan Klein wants to sue popular streamer SeanDaBlack over 'gender equality'; fans call him a racist
(Image via Instagram/@SeanDaBlack & @Ethan Klein) On June 26, 2025, YouTuber Ethan Klein revealed via Instagram that he's adding Twitch streamer Sean 'SeanDaBlack' Wiggs to his ongoing copyright lawsuits. The announcement — framed as a move toward 'gender equality' — has sent the internet into meltdown, with fans and critics accusing Klein of being both misogynistic and racist . Here's the full drama unpacked. Ethan Klein's 'Gender Equality' Lawsuit Move On June 26, 2025, Ethan Klein posted a cryptic but clear Instagram Story: '...You are all correct, it's not been fair. That's why I've decided to add SeanDaBlack to the lawsuits, for gender equality..." This comes after Klein filed copyright lawsuits against Twitch streamers Denims, Frogan, and Kaceytron—all women. The backlash was instant. Many accused him of misogyny. His 'solution'? Suing a Black man, apparently to balance the gender scale. Ethan sues SeanDaBlack Sean, who's associated with HasanAbi, is no stranger to Klein's critics. But this latest legal addition stunned even the most seasoned drama-watchers. He even gave a shoutout to Sean's 'snarker friends' — a not-so-subtle jab at Reddit communities like r/h3snark and r/LeftoversH3, who frequently roast Klein and his H3 Podcast. Internet's Verdict: 'This Feels Racist' Almost immediately, Reddit and X (formerly Twitter) users slammed Klein's latest legal move. The main accusation? That he's masking racial bias under the guise of equality. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Unglaublich: Der Rechner zeigt sofort den Wert Ihres Hauses an Hauswert Undo 'Creepy Klein adds black man to his list of victims for equality's sake (while on vacation).' one Redditor wrote. Another bluntly called him both: 'That's right, you're a misogynist and a racist. We already knew.' The fact that this all went down while Klein was vacationing with his wife, Hila, didn't help the optics. As one user sarcastically put it: 'How out of touch do you need to be to be on vacation, on your 40th birthday, with your wife and kids, thinking 'hmmmmm, who am I going to sue today!''' Patterns, Power, and Platform Drama A recurring criticism is that Klein tends to go after smaller creators. particularly women and people of color, instead of high-profile names like xQc or Asmongold, who've also reacted to his content. 'Never beating the allegations. Just going after women and POCs,' one comment read. 'Why not sue xQc? Too big to bully?' another added. SeanDaBlack Reacts: 'tf?' Sean's initial response was short and confused — literally just: 'tf' He previously mocked Klein in a livestream, mimicking his tone while calling him out for allegedly weaponizing his massive audience: '(Mimicking Klein) 'I mobilize my multi-million follower audience against smaller creators and cheer it on…'' Sean also accused Klein of never owning up to past racist behavior, claiming the apology was more like: ''I used to be racist... but honestly, I've not changed at all.'' So… What Now? This latest lawsuit has turned an already chaotic legal battle into something much bigger — one that's no longer just about copyright claims, but now includes race, power dynamics, and internet ethics. With both creators digging in their heels and Reddit on fire, this drama's just getting started. One thing's for sure: no one's walking away from this unscathed — not even Ethan Klein. Stay tuned, because the court of public opinion is just heating up. Game On Season 1 continues with Mirabai Chanu's inspiring story. Watch Episode 2 here.

Microsoft Updates Xbox 360 Dashboard After 20 Years — With a Nudge Toward Newer Consoles
Nearly 20 years after its original debut, the Xbox 360 has received a surprise dashboard update—one that fixes a persistent UI bug but also subtly encourages users to consider newer consoles. Earlier this week, longtime Xbox 360 users were met with a redesigned home screen that finally addressed a glitch affecting game thumbnails and box art, which appeared stretched or distorted following last year's store shutdown. The visual issue has now been resolved, much to the relief of fans still booting up the beloved system. However, the update also brought a new, unexpected addition: ads promoting the Xbox Series X and Series S. According to posts on Reddit and confirmations from outlets like Kotaku and TrueAchievements, the updated dashboard now prominently displays two types of promotional banners—one showing images of the current-gen consoles, and another featuring a QR code with the message, 'Experience next gen performance.' The ads themselves are static and not interactive via the console. Users must scan the QR code with a mobile device to be redirected to the Xbox website, where they're further prompted to upgrade. Microsoft's last significant Xbox 360 update came in July 2024, shortly after the company officially closed the Xbox 360 online store. That update removed outdated tiles but inadvertently introduced the now-fixed image distortion bug. Despite its age, the Xbox 360 continues to hold a nostalgic and marketable value. Since its launch in 2005, it has remained Microsoft's top-selling console with approximately 84 million units sold globally. The system continued to be especially popular in regions such as Mexico, even after newer generations were released. Microsoft's sustained support of the Xbox 360—including updates like this one—shows its enduring legacy. Yet, with ads for modern hardware now greeting users on the home screen, the message is clear: the future of Xbox is already here.
