This whole Cyperpunk 2077 nonsense is so dumb. It's going to have some problematic stuff I'm sure. It's maybe made by people who have some problematic or just uninformed views. But then again, probably everything is. A game like this is made by a huge company, they are bound to have people of all kinds of opinions. But I certainly doubt that as an artistic medium, it dosen't have people from all walks of life working on it. Maybe I'm dumb, but I think for a great many people trans issues are honestly a new thing. New in that it is just reaching the mainstream. You're not going to reach and inform people about it by demonizing them and the simple thing they are going to enjoy in spite of whatever problems it has.
I await the articles about the game and the content it has. But I'm not going to want to read that kotaku article that attacks the game and me because I like the game.
I know it's bullshit to put the onus of responsibility of having to inform people about these issues, but thats the way it is. You aren't going to reach them if you constantly tell them they are bad.
I won't lie, I've become numb to trans issues. I consider myself a fairly open minded person and I run on the "be kind and let people be what they want" flow. But I've become increasingly uninterested in engaging the the community because I feel like I'll be ran through the coals if I say the wrong thing.
I know ree dosen't represent the real world obviously, but I can't help but look at it and think "yeah those idiot alt-righters have a point". I think thier point is an extreme not really based on reality, but the peeps at ree sure aren't helping.
All this ironically about a game that I feel is actually pretty "inclusive". Inclusive in that I think it's just going to allow you to be whoever you want. A game I feel is probably going to have a pretty left leaning bent.
