QuoteExpect more big celebrity announcements for this game lolLady Gaga announcement is right around the corner and if you've played the original or read the source books you already know who she's playingThat would be extremely disappointing and her queer fans wouldn’t approve. There would be massive backlash.

I wanna know how Keanu feels about all the transphobia that's come out of CDPR and Cyberpunk 2077.
Someone needs to ask him what he thinks about CDPR's weird transphobic shit so we can get a public apology from them
Momo became unreliable
Like, real talk, for me personally, when I first saw this game, I was hoping it would do more to explore cyberpunk as a construct and say something meaningful, rather than doing bad south park-esque jokes. "Chromonster" is "City Wok" levels of eye roll.
A lot of you surely need to start listening to trans people and interacting with them instead of just getting the idea of how trans people are through porn stereotypes and Japanese media. I really really mean it.In fact, just out of my twitter feed, latest post that popped up by a trans woman. And the follow up to that tweet is a very interesting article to read.https://twitter.com/acvalens/status/1138863301398544385
First page is all hugs and kisses.Thankfully, right at the start of page two, the important questions are being asked.https://www.resetera.com/threads/keanu-reeves-was-%E2%80%98blown-away%E2%80%99-by-fan-reaction-to-e3-appearance.122789/edit: fuck you benji go back to analyzing sales.
This man is so wholesome. If there's a celebrity worth admiring, Keanu is among the top.
QuoteYou ever notice how rumors of MS and Nintendo teaming up become guaranteed stories among gamers but when it comes to calling game devs out on blatant transphobia it suddenly needs a thorough investigation from multiple parties and a congressional investigation before an opinion can be made. Never change gaming community, allies you will never be.If we consider the wider gaming community to be blindly accepting everything that they read, then this is accurate. However, if we are narrowing our scope to people who want to understand the intent and context behind something before they commit to whatever action is required, then this isn't accurate. We always talk about rumors as needing to be taken with a grain of salt, because its unverified. Trust, but verify.

Wasn't he starred in that alt right movie with the Brain Force Plus? John Wick also seems to be a movie reinforcing toxic masculinity. Not really sure if Keanu is an ally even though he hasn't explicitly expressed anything suspect.
Banning him would require someone reading his post
Hey, would you mind continuing this string from earlier?Quote from: HobbesI have a suspicion that any response from them will not be well received or believed, to be quite honest. I’m already getting the “GOTCHA” vibes from some of the responses.

Honestly I understand that not everyone would love that kind of sexualization but isn't this like the first time that a big budget game has presented someone trans with more than a sob story to go with it? To show a character who is so unashamedly proud of her dick seems like a positive message

Reeves has been doing the rounds promoting his latest movie John Wick: Chapter 3 in recent weeks, and was given a rapturous response at the annual E3 electronics show in LA yesterday.He's set to voice one of the main characters in the new game Cyberpunk 2077, and made an unannounced appearance on stage during an Xbox event to let fans know.The audience – and, once again, the internet – went wild, one crowd member screaming 'you're breathtaking' during his announcement.
“I was talking to him before he went out and I was trying to explain that this isn’t going to be like another corporate gig,” Xbox head Phil Spencer told Variety.“I said, ‘You’re going to go out there and the fans are going to go crazy.’ And he’s like, ‘Oh, that’s cool.’Read more: Third Bill & Ted movie confirmed for 2020“I think he was kind of blown away by the response. And I loved how we just wallowed in it. and then when he came back off he was just like, ‘wow.’“They were so nice to him and everything, he was really blown away, which I thought was cool.”
Trying not to use the multi-million platform you have to shit on oppressed people with a life expectancy of ~35 years old that are on the crosshairs of hate groups by perpetuating harmful stereotyping? Like, there are millions of stuff that can get really bad in a dystopian future about opression and inequality, so focusing on the group that's "hot" (i.e. getting all shitted on for daring to speak up and demand equal rights) in the current political climate is absolutely tone deaf.
I am so sick of the gaming community giving creators and companies a pass on blatant ignorance and bigotry just because they create popular or acclaimed games. This goes beyond CDPR. I am looking at you Kojima.

I feel like I’m going crazy now that everyone has just accepted them as transgender without question.
Surely their hero Jason Schreier has to go ask Keanu about his views on CDPR's bigotry, right?
Keanu Reeves took the Brain Force PlusWhy did ResetEra like him?

This is why it's so hard to be intersectional with some people that can't understand their own dominant identities. Any other minority has a simpler potential to be understanding of the issues that trans people face, but it's just way too hard to try awakening this same understanding from groups that only identify themselves as apolitical, woke gamers. If the only woe a guy had to live with was a game being cancelled, then he sure as fuck wouldn't understand how some people feel scared for their lives for being queer, black, female, refugee, etc.
seems to be they are taking the piss on all the people who complained about lgbt issues on CDPR
here I fixed it
#1The production values would noticeably go up, they would try to satisfy both hardcore and casual fans, and the gameplay would evolve in interesting wayswould pre order without any gameplay footage tbh
Banning hobbes would be cruel. Immigrating to France without any knowledge of the language is hard enough, don't take away his verafied status.

Shortly after the image showed up on my Twitter feed, I walked into CD Projekt’s meeting space at E3 and asked the company about it. I sat down with the artist responsible for creating it, Kasia Redesiuk. She’s one of the art directors working on Cyberpunk 2077.Redesiuk joined CD Projekt Red years ago to create concept art for Cyberpunk 2077. She would eventually go on to become the art director for both Gwent: The Witcher Card Game and Thronebreaker: The Witcher Tales. Today, she’s responsible for all the in-fiction media in the environments of Cyberpunk 2077. That includes advertisements like this one, as well as branding for the game’s many megacorporations.So I asked her: Why was a trans model used in this particular advertisement?“Personally, for me, this person is sexy,” Redesiuk said. “I like how this person looks. However, this model is used — their beautiful body is used — for corporate reasons. They are displayed there just as a thing, and that’s the terrible part of it.”Redesiuk said that the world of Cyberpunk 2077 includes many people who are gender-nonconforming, some of whom enjoy showing off their bodies in public. They are a demographic group with significant purchasing power, and so, megacorporations use their likenesses to sell soft drinks. It’s supposed to be a play on the same sort of hypersexualized advertising that modern companies use to sell products today, just brought in line with the kind of future CD Projekt wants to portray.“In [the year] 2077, especially with how much body modifications are available, I think people just mix and match however they want, however they feel,” Redesiuk said. “And even society is more open to different kinds of relationships.”This is not to say that the player should see this kind of advertising as good. Redesiuk said that it was designed to feel jarring and overly aggressive, like all the other ads in the game, but not because of the femme-presenting trans model.
I asked Redesiuk what she would say to those in the trans community who might be offended to see themselves portrayed this way in the game.“I would say it was never the intention to offend anyone,” Redesiuk said. “However, with this image of an oversexualized person, we did want to show how oversexualization of people is bad. And that’s it.“I think that sexy bodies are sexy. Full disclosure: I love female bodies. I love male bodies. I love bodies in between. This is who I am. However, I hate it when it’s used commercially. And that’s exactly what we want to show by doing this exactly, by showing how big corporations use people’s bodies against them.”For Redesiuk, the fictional advertisement is also an effort to increase empathy for the LGBTQ community among video game consumers.“We need it,” Redesiuk said. “I honestly think we need it because we need more acceptance in the world, and we need to also show how the goodness of people is sometimes used against them. And I would really love for the world to change and be a better place for everyone.”
Well, I'm glad a PR person stepped up and gave the laziest, most hypocritical response. Nothing like having to go out of their way to explain the intentions instead of making it non-controversial in the first place.
There is very little deeper meaning here, it's a dude bro game for dude bros
Excuse me if I don't believe them
Welp, we'll see in April.
