It's interesting to read RE now. So many of its users are openly disagreeing and no longer give a fuck about this sjw constant outrage. Folks just wanna game, man.

Part of the problem is a lot of people's only experience with the trans community is porn and don't get that animu futas are not representative of reality

woah wait, where do i get this porn

It’s almost like a bunch of straight men are coming into a topic telling LGBT+ people how to feel about a subject and some posters are justifiably upset about that.

[benjipwns]

So this is it then. There's no denying or dancing around this fact anymore:
CDPR is firmly anti-trans, and anti-queer. This is their politics.

This isn't a slip up, or something that wasn't caught as a joke from one of their interns or whatever bullshit. This is the politics of CDPR. I have to wonder now, do Sony, MS, Valve, Nvidia, etc. share in these politics? Either you're against transphobia and homophobia, or you're okay with it.

well, Nvidia clearly does, they fucking ray traced this shit

[Himu]

Remember the time waypoint posted an article written by a CIS MALE about how a game was supposedly transphobic and the creator of the game spoke out and turned out to be trans

lol

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

[Cerveza mas fina]

Yes but the creator clearly was suffering from some Helsinki syndrome shit

Or is that uncle tom shit?

Red Strings Club?
It was double-shitty, because its some small time narrative focussed indie title working for a niche audience in the first place, and for a relatively well known media outlet to rip into them on unsubstantiated speculative reasons does way more harm than speculative think pieces about how the big boys like ubisoft or EA suck

[SmokyDave]

That Cyberpunk thread is fucking insane. I want CDPR to put out a tweet saying "dickgirl isn't transgender, and you people shouldn't be so small minded" just to see the reaction.

There ya go.

To be fair, straight men get waaaaay more abuse on Resetera than any other group, so perhaps they would be the authority on how to handle being offended?

someone plz make me an avatar of the cyberpunk trans girl

[benjipwns]

at this point I don't even care about the transwhatever hispanics in the game, I want to know why the game journalism industry is covering up the Polish governments whole agenda here, has Imran Khan even e-mailed them?!? what about his Pakistani embassy in the country has it tried e-mailing their Polish embassy? I feel like even the shitty "journalists" at a rag like the New York Times might even be interested in a story like this

[Propagandhim]

What you're seeing here is the beginning of a calculated alt-right political takeover via video games media.  This isn't a mistake.  This is intentional.

[Tiops]

Are we reaching a point of no return? I mean, there's absolutely no way to argue with Era users and people that for some reason agree with those ideas. It's insane.

[benjipwns]

No, CDPR is not one hivemind, CDPR is formed by different people from different cultures and backgrounds, saying that a whole studio is anti-trans and anti-queer is bullshit and you know that, especially when people from CDPR attended the Warsaw Pride Parade recently.

This means literally nothing when their work shows otherwise.

This keeps happening, and no amount of tokenism is going to undo the harmful behavior and apathy shown by CDPR as a whole.

someone plz make me an avatar of the cyberpunk trans girl

[Uncle]

the secret to including trans people in your game is to make a 100% normal game with no trans people in it

then 3 months after release you hit them with the ol' JK Rowling

"Geralt was trans the entire game and you never realized it.  He's completely confident and fulfilled in his new body, and everyone sees him as and treats him as a man.  We did not address this in-game for the obvious reason of deadnaming, and because it's not relevant to the male self Geralt expresses now.  We also thought it an appropriate twisting of the knife to reveal this fact now to bigots everywhere: you were playing as a trans character all along.    Cheers and stay Witching."

I think that's a good solution, and not even mentioning later which character is or not. Just say "some of them are, we're not going to tell which because that would be deadnaming." Done, all well represented.

Reading the response the Red Strings Club dev wrote to Waypoint is pretty telling... like writing a strongly worded but polite letter to your hostage taker.

Just so we’re clear, what is being discussed is that Cyberpunk is transphobic because it has a poster of a model with a big dick but otherwise female features? That’s it? Am I missing something?

Some gamer: “THE CYBERPUNK JOKE ISN’T DISRESPECTFUL DON’T YOU WANT TO NORMALIZE GIRLDICK?”

Me, realizing I now have to explain the nuances of fetishization and the cis gaze today:

Hyperfixating on a trans girl’s penis is very cis gazey; it has a long history of both ridicule and obsessive desire. The “joke” in Cyberpunk is that a woman is genderfucked and can now maintain a visible erection. It’s meant to shock, not endorse, and certainly not normalize.

And you know what? Even if CDPR didn’t have this history of transphobia — only trans women, enbies, and trans femme folks w/ penises can really, accurately walk through the nuances of being a femme-coded person with a penis. I can assure you we’re constantly three steps ahead


Like: I have an erotica Twine coming out next week (@BloodPactTwine) with two trans girls that have dicks. Both are used and feature. But I weave in their genitals in a way that feels feminine, soft, and affirming. There’s no shock value here, because girldick isn’t shocking.

If Cyberpunk 2077 treated girls’ dicks as just another facet of life, it would be fine. This ad shows that CDPR thinks trans people are weird, shocking, and fundamentally sexual. How do you “get” the joke? By looking at the model’s bulging erection. It’s a trope.

I mean I would, but its a 'zoom and enhance' of an offscreen photo from a closed doors nvidia ray tracing demo, or a screengrab from last years gameplay demo



which kind of makes you question why people are zoom and enhancing background details and then extrapolating that to decalre that to be the overt political messaging of the game

[benjipwns]

I'm not saying we should invade Poland, but just boycotting isn't going to make it stop existing.

Who cares?  Cyberpunk is going to be a shitty choose your own adventure novel pretending to be a game just like the Witcher games are.

Just make sure your genital weave is feminine, soft, and affirming. Wouldn't want to make your girldick look shocking.

We need a fourth partition of Poland. I am not saying Germany should get its former territories back, but if and only if the Green Party wins the next election, it’‘s probably for the better.

His teeth were so rotted that they pulled all of them and gave him dentures. Now he no longer is afraid of smiling and you seeing that so instead of his old creepy grin he has a new one.

His head is normal sized so the personal grooming/shaving does a lot when you can't see the rest of that body. People thought he was actually losing weight till he showed up to some event.

Not really dentures as such. He has had tooth implants. And he has lost weight. The fact that he turns up to events walking is evidence of that. Before he was unable to walk.

Stonewall would’ve never happened if we just played nice and gave in to the bullshit from the gender norm community while hoping things get better.

I don’t expect straight people to understand the fight that the queer community has put itself through, but give us respect when we stand up against bigotry if you’re a so called ally.

What bothers me most about situations like this is how exhausting it is to be consistently told these things are "one bad actor". Somewhere in the thick of things there's a debate to be had about how responsible the entire body of a company is for shit like this, sure, but it surely does not start and end with one individual. This does not occur over and over again in a vacuum.

Also, it isn't exclusive to CD Projekt Red, this is the culture at large.
