The name "Degenatron" itself parodies those who believe that video games are damaging to children's physical fitness, social skills, and morality. [[Jan Brown]], a guest on GTA Vice City's [[VCPR]], lashes out at the console for being a bad influence on her children – she was oblivious to her own lack of parenting skills, which included rewarding one of her kids for killing a mailman and getting them to beat up their father when he cheats on her. | The name "Degenatron" itself parodies those who believe that video games are damaging to children's physical fitness, social skills, and morality.

In GTA San Andreas, [[Marvin Trill]], a conspiracy theorist on [[WCTR]], accuses the console of implanting subliminal messages in the minds of people as part of a communist plot. It's no coincidence that the Grand Theft Auto series has been a particular target for this kind of accusations. Critics accuse it of glorifying violence [http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6409148/], of encouraging the murder of police officers [http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2005/06/17/60minutes/main702599.shtml], and even of teaching kids to use a sniper rifle [http://www.xbox365.com/news.cgi?id=EpyZppAkpuASkoNJmX9204]. | In GTA San Andreas, [[Marvin Trill]], a conspiracy theorist on [[WCTR]], accuses the console of implanting subliminal messages in the minds of people as part of a communist plot.
