The mood among fans was unhappy. One person who described themselves as a graffiti artist told Kotaku they thought tagging the mural was pretty disrespectful, which is a notable view coming from someone in that scene.

Others echoed the frustration, seeing the mural as fan work that someone chose to spoil rather than a blank wall. The story spread quickly among GTA communities after Kotaku's report.
