I played GTA 5 for no less than fifty hours and never once actually purchased the services of a prostitute, and if I had, I wouldn't really have had the desire to beat her to death and get my money back afterward. But if those were taken away, I think the issue would still be present. I think one difference people see here are the "incentives" to kill prostitutes in GTA, which though minor, do exist in the form of health gains and extra cash dropped upon death. And even with a recent real-life push-back against a few select overly violent cops, I don't think killing police officers by the truckload in these games has ever been free from its own set of moral issues. Both the elderly and the poor as also groups that endure abuse and humiliation frequently, yet you're allowed to kill them all the same. This is a game where you can run over a grandma with your car, or do a driveby shooting in a poor ghetto and execute a dozen random civilians. I won't argue with the assertion that sex workers aren't routinely abused and humiliated in real life, but I don't think they're the only "bullied" group GTA lets you commit acts of violence against. To me this is a curious place to draw the line, given the extreme content found elsewhere in the game.
