TheSyldat is seriously awesome, I really do love their posts:

Pssst if you hold dear the integrity of your breastbone you not want to be wearing that chest plate while facing my fellow female fencers during club hours I'm just saying ...

In other words that design is cool looking but it's still the artist trying to bake his cake and fuck it too ... It's still trying to highlight her boobs just in a non boobplate way , but just by surrounding the boobline with the chest plate . So okay the designer avoided the structural integrity criticism ... by throwing Him/hersefl in the "do you want your kinghts to all drown in their own blood at the first claymore bash ? What the fuck are you doing rib cages and breast bones will be bursting left and right on the battlefield with that nonesne!!!!" criticism pit here ...

That's some normal fencing boots here indeed that heel is sensical because it's not slim it fully fleshed one that actually does raise up the talon at a sensible height while having it firmly laying flat because that heel is a good ol flat boot heel the way it should be .

That chest plate desing is miles better than the first drawing shared , but it's still stupidly short once again the artist is still desperately kicking and flailing to still "outline the hills" but hey at least she doesn't wear a breast bone piercing one now . So yay progress ...

I usually don't use this word, but this guy is seriously distinguished mentally-challenged fellowed.



This is what the breastplates of female fencers look like, you distinguished mentally-challenged fellow

Era isn’t that progressive, tbh. Gamers here love to dismiss things when it comes to stuff like CDPR and Atlus, but still want to be called allies or woke. It’s rather sad and has become worse the past year or two. People are just more comfortable showing their true colors in the post-Trump era.

Like the place has been around for ages

I don't want to be called 'allied' or 'woke'.
I don't want to claim unearned moral superiority, or feel I have any right to do so.

Maybe the problem lies with the people who do want that.

[benjipwns]

Just read avout the Voodo boy and the Animals, this studio knows exactly what it is doing.

Of course people focus on the gunplay and not the stereotyping. Because CDPR have shown their ass on that front multiple times with very little done to try and change people's perception. And so everyone who LOVES CDPR and wants to get the game will focus on gunplay because they know whatever bs they throw out to defend the stereotyping will be flimsy at best.

I can live with mediocre gameplay as long as the other factor are good, but stereotypical representation of minorities is disgusting to say the least. A studio as big as CDPR should know better.

Hint: They got so big because they don't care, or even worse, enforce it.

Oh yeah. At this point, they don't even tried to hide it. It is awful.
Time for journalist of big websites to do their jobs here.

God, reading an entire thread of people saying 'its okay to marginalize you because its cyberpunk' in a world where Red Strings Club and Hardcoded exist, hits right in the gut

!!!This is an adult game! 18+ only!!!

Hardcoded is an open-world dating-sim, set in the lawless reaches of a cyberpunk dystopia, in which you take on the role of a thinking/learning droid who has recently escaped her owners and is on the run. Before you can fully settle into your new life, it becomes obvious that Pira City is a place of dark and dangerous secrets. Fortunately, you're able to befriend a cast of very horny characters who seek your aid in pursuing a shadowrun-style investigation. You can spend your down time trying to establish yourself, by earning money, decorating your apartment, buying clothes, collecting sci-fi dildos, or working on turning friendships into romances.

!!!This game is very explicit! There are many dicks in this game! Most of them are attached to girls!!!

wait, what

Yes folks, have some fun! Meanwhile the general state of society is that trans people have to fear for their lives on the daily but hey at least meanwhile dickchick fetishists are having a good time amirite. Priorities exist. We can celebrate sexual diversity when people aren't being murdered over who they are.

and yet Poland is allowed to live

[benjipwns]

Tip: When you see these kinds of posts, look at the post count.

Thanks but I knew that already. I make these kind of posts to get them to actually say what they mean instead of beating around the bush and dogwhistling. Sort of a "give them rope to hang themselves" strategy.

wow if true

[Cerveza mas fina]

i kinda want to buy the Poland and Serbia ones

If u buy Poland I will chip in and we can make a mock site

[benjipwns]

this is the chick that recommended hardcoded:

Trans voice here, not saying I represent everyone but its worth noting.

My issue with this portrayal directly is the blatant fetishization of genitalia. It's a key centerpiece of the advertisement, framed as if to say 'look here'.

Trans folk to a lot to avoid being defined by our genitalia. We'll see 'genitalia preference' debates on facebook and cringe, as cis folks will go to great lengths to avoid outting themselves as transphobes but claim they wouldn't date one.

To boil a person down to their genitals goes against everything we fight for. We fight to make people understand our identities go beyond physical characteristics.

There is potential for trans body positivity. I've seen girls proudly exclaim that they're rocking a bulge. But this doesn't come from a place of positivity. It's blatant sexualization, and even potentially mockingly so

[Cauliflower Of Love]

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?

you're supposed to read this thread:
https://twitter.com/acvalens/status/1138767383475212288

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.

Is an actual human writing this?

Nope

Keanu Reeves took the RED PILL
Why did ResetEra like him?

[benjipwns]

Let's wait until the game is out before reviewing it, ok? It's not to anyone's benefit to start assuming things that might or might not be in the final product.

Or, hear me out, we could react to what they're marketing of the game now, and maybe cause them to fix their shit before the game releases.

I just want to tell you both good luck, we're all counting on you.

[Cerveza mas fina]

Wait so liking dick is not ok anymore?

What if they 'fix' it by removing trans people out of the game completely because they're Polish.

Expect more big celebrity announcements for this game lol
Lady 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 playing

That would be extremely disappointing and her queer fans wouldn’t approve. There would be massive backlash.

hotttt

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

[benjipwns]

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.

lol, who mentioned how they don't get South Park earlier

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.

This man is so wholesome. If there's a celebrity worth admiring, Keanu is among the top.

WHAT. THE. FUCK.
Keanu is partly Asian, so it still counts as self orientalization, btw.
 
Also, he's also fetishized trans folks, since he dated Jamie Clayton.

[benjipwns]

You 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.

BAN HOBBES

actually, you probably will

[benjipwns]

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.

User Banned (Duration Pending): Derail, inflammatory false equivalence in a sensitive subject thread

Let me just ask this. Is it factually incorrect that the oppression of the LGBT community is predominately led by straight white males?

I would have no idea, but I would wager a guess that it'd be yes.

I still don't think that makes it right to generalise though.

That'd be akin to the shit I hear in England all the time about how "all Muslims are terrorists" and other nonsensical bs.

also, i made a post specifically for you to enjoy: http://www.thebore.com/forum/index.php?topic=46206.msg2639643#msg2639643

Of course it is not factually incorrect. It is a unique condition of being white and male. They are born that way. Perhaps you should move to a predominantly Muslim country where you will be safe.

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.’

“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.”

I mean, really. This is what resetera is fighting against, nobody is even aware of the thing they're bitching at. A story about Keanu Reeves (and Cyberpunk tangentially related) means their whining just going to look more deranged over time.

[benjipwns]

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.

knew they were targeting them for speaking up with this ad on the side of a thing in a demo for ray tracing for a big game that Keanu Reeves just promoted at a big gaming PR conference

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.
