Also, you want a good sexualized ad with a trans person? Just assume the first ad is a trans man. Boom, acceptable. See how it doesn't bring focus to them being trans in that situation?
um, what
Every videogame is actually amazing at trans representation when you imagine that every character is a trans-man or -woman. Boom the perfect trans representation has always been there.
Advanced students also imagine all the white guys as poc. Boom diversity solved
I think this is actually an important question for this game though
this is a world where if you don't like your body you can just change it and be whoever you want to be
so when you are born trans in cyberpunk world, don't you just modify yourself to all outward appearances perfectly cis-presenting?
so creating a male or female character, yeah they could easily have been trans, if you imagine it, it makes sense in that world
what is the alternative for portraying a trans character in cyberpunk?
isn't it pretty offensive to assume that to be trans, you have to be flawed in some way? creating a character who looks like a girl with a thick beard or a boy with breasts? I mean yes you can make that with this character creator if you like, but if you declare "this character is trans due to these characteristics" then it really falls into the trap of how less accepting people imagine trans people to be
making an ugly character on purpose to declare them trans is fucked up, in this game just make a cis-looking character and they've achieved their goal, they're self-fulfilled and living their best life (such that it is, in cyberpunk)
