So today I watched the two most recent CP2077 trailers Postcards from Night City and Gangs of Night City and was struck by the sheer number of hypersexualised in-game ads there were. Not only were there so many, but they all appeared to feature women.

Curious, I decided to go back through each trailer frame by frame to collect every 'sexy' ad, just in case I missed something.

Holy shit, they are absolutely shook in that thread

Fuck this game. Great work compiling all this, OP.

How do people still not understand that this game is targeted to please 15y old dudes. Its GTA 2.0 with lots of 'cool' swearing and robot tits. So edgy! Much wow

Why? What's the point? What's the message?

It could be poignant in its critic... or it could be full CD Projekt Red.

Just wanted to say this is a good post.

If it turns out there's some twist woven into the game that addresses all of this, cool, let's see it, but I have basically no faith that's actually there.

What, if anything, are CD Projekt Red trying to do here? If it's to reflect our own world they've failed because even 2020 advertising manages to be more diverse than this. Is it to depict a future where women are still sexualised to a far higher degree than men? If so, why? We know our current world is homophobic, transphobic and sexist, do they really think ads like this are cutting satire, or nuanced critique?

What is Verhoeven trying to say with RoboCop ? That our world sucks ? Does he really think it is cutting satire or nuanced critique ?

How do people still not understand that this game is targeted to please 15y old dudes.

How do you know the people in those photos identify as women?

This is a disingenuous post.

My understanding is that gender fluidity is extremely common in the Cyberpunk world.

Don't they ultimately want a society based on self-identification?

[Digital Foundry] didn't have a lot to say on it in their conference overview. I get the feeling they might not platform it beyond that for the time being. Which is good. (I agree it looks impressive technically, but)

They really think the controversy is setting the world on fire huh.

fuck the brits

yeah, the UK is a real hellscape for LGBT people compared to the US.

What the actual fuck is up with the UK and transphobia?

The UK never really progressed past boomer 2nd wave white feminism.

Trans rights have been established by UK law for well over a decade, and supporting transitioning from consultation, medication, all the way through to surgery and post surgical aftercare is not only protected by law but is also fully paid for by the tax payer, as with many other European countries, but sure.

The men of Era sure love to say what's best for women to wear. Very Handmaids Tale of them.

I will forever tell this anecdote until it's not true:

I have lived in five states as a voter and the only time I have ever seen Green Party activists was when they showed up to protest new gas stations

[GreatSageEqualOfHeaven]

(Image removed from quote.)

That UK specific 'transphobia'

Yeah, it's deeply bizarre the level of disconnect between UK public opinion on trans people — which is mostly either supportive or indifferent — and the media's, which is vicious and vile.

It's really not; it means that because there is a generally high acceptance of trans people in general that arguments can be discussed on their own merit, not as part of an ongoing war for acceptance where who is making that argument is as much an issue as to what the argument actually is.

Some troll on era should do a ‘let’s all listen to the Marshall mathers LP’ and watch the tears and the roll in

Even though the vast majority of the forum were teenagers or older when the album came out but tbf they’re mostly shut in nerds who probably hated rap and never listened to it until you could be declared a racist online for not liking the genre 10-15 years later

[GreatSageEqualOfHeaven]

I'm, surprised as hell that Era has an open thread about Chris chan but

I don't think this is the place to bring her up with how well-documented her racism, homophobia & other things are.

thats not the reason why I would assume the mods don't want the spiritual founder / OG target of kiwi farms having a looky-lou thread

[Uncle]

The responses would get Era put on a watchlist.

Speaking of this, I reported this post last night:

After the shit they pulled with Garland in 2016, every single republican that votes to rush through a justice with less than 2 months to go should be fucking executed in the street

and since it hasn't been actioned yet (personally I think a warning would be fine) I would just like to know if full-blown advocating for political violence and vigilante murder of U.S. Senators is totally cool here.

Like, fuck Republicans. But come on.

the reply to that

We're probably going to end up where anything outside of liability concerns is gonna be allowed to slide. At least that's where I'd end up and I know there's probably most of the staff on the same side as we are in terms of frustration. Calls for civility in times like this just come off as a bad joke. Hope Ceri or Dubs don't end up with Secret Service contacting them >.>

with a little luck any liability protections for them will be repealed by biden

The article isn't even really about JKR, but about the fact that women still get way more online harassment than men do, and this is just another example of that, but like most things posted on era the thread title lets you know how to correctly respond in advance.

I came to say this after reading the OP then saw your post.

Cyberpunk worlds are always hyper sexualised, our world is probably going to hit that point as well eventually.

Minus explicitly sexual male gay and trans motives you mean. "Hot lesbians" will forever be the peak diversity in human advertisement :p

that's pretty fucking gay breh.

Let's not forget this:

was previously being criticised on era for fetishising trans people, which inherently implies sexualised imagery.

Tons of great cyberpunk being made right now, mostly from people in the global south. As well as sub-genres like SolarPunk that imagine an optimistic future post-cyberpunk world in which we've... won. In which we've defeated the corporations and capitalism and built something better.

But giant right-wing gaming corps don't make games like that for pretty obvious reasons. They make games like Cyberpunk 2077. Games in which cyberpunk is stripped of its politics, and made purely an aesthetic.

You can't fix this stuff by begging CDPR "to do better." The only way to fix it is to get rid of them.

[VomKriege]

I guess it's fitting that ERA have such a real problem understanding any depiction in any other way than literally.

So much to unpack from that... CDPR are a "giant right-wing gaming corp"? An optimistic world of co-operation is "punk"? Cyberpunk 2077 is "stripped of politics", but also apparently right wing propaganda?

[VomKriege]

Everytime they close a thread like that I wish we could read the reports.

It's hilarious that they keep parroting that the game only adapts the aesthetics of cyberpunk while they engage with the content on the most surface level possible.

Does anyone remember what started ERA's crusade against CDPR? They desperately want to hate the studio and tar them as an alt-right bigot factory, but there's so little out there about CDPR to justify that stance that they are grasping at anything to blow up into this "huge" issue that confirms their biases that CDPR is THQ Nordic 2.0.

If you keep trying to have everyone take everything in the most offensive way possible, it will be impossible to have satirical games like GTA V/Cyberpunk out there in the space without overbearing criticism and accusations of sexism etc. They are depicting a hypersexualised and sexist society in a work of fiction. Of course it is going to be sexist, but it doesn't mean the makers of the game are sexist any more than an actor depicting Hitler is actually Hitler. Can we have some nuance here PLEASE

Permanent ban for this user, and two weeks or more for everyone who agreed.

Pretty sure it is because the person running the Twitter made a "did you just assume my gender" joke and cdpr didn't fire them fast enough. Might have been an attack helicopter joke as well,  also on Twitter.

Trans people are overwhelmingly mentally ill and these transgressions will never be forgiven.

Insane. The Dystopian world building is among the best things in the game.

The actual dull gameplay is the real scandal.

So how are they not an echo chamber again? All those comments seemed reasonable to me, yet they mods deemed them bannable because the go against the "approved" opinion to have about CDPR. And you can't tell me all those bans were approved by some "mod council" on Discord like they love to imply. Those bans were made fast.

I think its because they said they have a diverse staff and want to accomodate a range of voices and opinions in their creative space.

The first trailer depicted an Indian taxi driver for two seconds. I think that was the first time I've seen the great outcry of "THEY DONT UNDERSTAND CYBERPUNK; ITS JUST EDGY LOOKS FOR THEM".

They could donate to trans charities. Hire only trans staff. Make a game about how awesome being trans is. Support pro trans politicians. Organise trans rallies, and it still wouldn't be good enough for the nutjobs on Ree
