Uh, whats a Chav? Is it a British thing?
From what I understand, it's basically a bigoted "gangsta" in Britain.
Nah, a chav is probably the closest to what Americans would call a 'wigga'. Just watch the music video for 'pretty fly for a white guy' and the sap in that, minus the sunny weather and plus a tracksuit and a bus shelter and you have how they behave and look.
As far as I can gather, chavs and wiggers are roughly the same thing, just different names. Excuse me for my ignorance of UK slang, but are chavs strictly white or can the term apply to someone who acts like a dickwad from any racial or ethnic background? Because wigger is strictly used to refer to white people who think they are black and use various mannerisms and such that are associated with the black "gangsta" culture. If so then yes, wiggers are basically the American version of a chav. "White trash" is another American term similar to chav, I think.
Moving along, I think this is pretty ridiculous. Some people are just horny fucks who can't control Mr. Johnston. I don't think that GTA had a big factor in his decisions. Yes, it isn't the most flattering portrayal of women, but I seriously, seriously doubt that GTA would make any sane, decent person a rapist. Then again, we have already established that this guy is a chav/wigger, which are just below horse shit in the grand scheme of things. "Gangstas" are pretty low, but chavs/wiggers are even lower because they are WANNABE gangstas. I mean look at him! It is a THUG! I seriously doubt that GTA turned him into that overnight.
