Oh CD Project Red
I'm glad instead of Cyberpunk
I started HRT instead

(But he also rips into China about censorship and Xi's insecurity, so I assume he's cancelled around these parts)

    UUuhhhh holy shit I did not realize it was that bad. In a world where everybody replaces their arms with lightsaber-knife-things and their brain with silicon how could people think somehow the trans folks are the "freaks"?! Not only is it transphobic as fuck, it's bad writing and world building. Imagine living in a world devoted to body modification and still giving a fuck about "gender" lol

      Right? Like there's all these ads for porno with a woman who modified herself with three mouths so she could suck off three people at once, but some gender ambiguity is where your character draws the line?

        I was surprised the clubs were so vanilla, I mean minimally you'd expect people to conspicuously display modifications to signal social status.

      I’m nearly 100% positive that he’s called a freak and ripped into so hard because he does shitty botch jobs on desperate women, and glorifies the pain and suffering he inflicts on his clientele. He’s definitely gay coded, and there can be implication, but I will say I interpreted it as more of a serial killer type freaky than a ew efiminite gay man type “freak”. It’s definitely not good, but it’s not nearly as egregious as the poster is making it out to be.

      HAS ANYONE ELSE ACTUALLY PLAYED THIS DAMN GAME?

        He literally rapes and sells a character to people who kill people and scavenge body parts while also taking advantage of other sex workers in need of help, THAT is the reason they give you the option to beat the shit out of him, don't think killing him is even an option.

        They even made him sell one of the best upgrades in the game later that YOU CANT GET if you punch him, making you choose if playing nice with the asshole is worth getting it later on.
