https://lgbtchat.net/threads/being-attracted-to-transexuals.68862/#post-282127Now, look at this thread. This would probably get locked on REE for fetishizing transgendered people, yet at a dedicated LGBT board, no bans.ERA, too extreme in their LGBT views for LGBT boards. Maybe that's ERA contribution to all this in the end. Their radicalization is so extreme, that a board like that seems almost... quaint?

Chasers are gross. Well, some are.
Being at the top didn't matter to me though. I just cared about my community, and my community turned on me,

i don't think this five year old thing is going to be something i'll be able to reference continually without it getting weird
Do you think tyler would sell neogaf to me for 300 bucks worth of ikea gift cards?
I owned neogaf2.com for a while.

This is incredibly written. Thank you so much for this intelligent and rational post that sees the isometrics of such a deep and personal issue.
One of the major problems with this kind of "intended message" is how CDPR hasn't made an effort to show us if this kind of social commentary is going to be a consistent theme of the game, or just edgy background dressing. If we had an idea about the kind of in-world advertisements could be seen in the game, I may sing a different tune, especially if the language of those ads aligns with the claims made by this artist. It feels like a shallow and undeserved piece of "commentary" (if that's their honest intent).Additionally, the game really needs representation, and we need to see that in the marketing to know it's a matter they care about. Have characters directly discussing how gross and manipulative ads like this are. Even one dissenting voice goes a long way (as long as their existence in the game isn't another joke at the expense of others). That's not me saying "one token trans person is good enough", just "this is the bare minimum". As we've seen with reactions to this ad on Reddit and other awful forums, this kind of commentary has no meaning if people take it immediately at face value (and with alt-right jackasses, they love to mock trans people, so they're eating it up).If there's one thing that's struck me about everything I've seen regarding Cyberpunk 2077, it's that CDPR's been showing off a lot more "cyber" than they have been "punk". I haven't exactly kept my eyes glued to every trickle of information about the game, but I have paid attention, and nothing's coming to my mind that immediately screams, "this game embodies the themes of cyberpunk", rather, it looks more like a surface-level, "wow, cool future!" reading of the genre. Tech-noir, if you will. They've showed body modification in the game, but the way marketing has pushed it, it seems to be more for "modifying your body to suit your interests is cool" than "the more you alter yourself, the more you distance yourself from your humanity".

Thank you everyone for your advice and support. It really means a lot to me. You have no idea how much it helps me. I did report it to the appointment office (left a voicemail) and said what happened..I know nothing can probably done. But seeing all the responses I've gotten here puts my mind at ease. I don't feel like I'm going insane. It was probably just this young boy thinking, "I'm going to push this random person." Probably just an impulse thing. Little kids are funny like that..not excusing what he did, but just a fact. I am not aware of anyone talking shit about me. I stay to myself. I don't interact with my neighbors at all. And for good reason. They are nuts. Hell as I type this one nutty person is yelling outside somebody's balcony. There's all kinds of crazies in my apartment complex, let me tell you what lol.
