      Chuds liked it again because a bunch of libs mad at the game by accusing it of making commodities out of trans people, rather than recognize that it's the setting of the game that has commodified trans people.

          the game presents the in-game objectification as what it is: objectification for the sake of advertising shitty products. I never quite picked up that it's an endorsement or making excuses like that. somewhere around half of the in game advertising is sexual, the society in-game has a wider view of gender expression than now, so capital being indifferent as always has picked up on that and expanded its cultural offerings

          maybe I'm giving the game too generous of a read, but that's what I was trying to get at

          also it's very likely a column A column B situation where the game is engaged in the same objectification that it's presenting in a future dystopia
