also the last post i want to make about cyberpunk 2077 because it sucks i’m putting it in a thing because its 1/2 about sex
STROKIN
if you’re going to go full on conservative polish guy mode and decide that body types are super uniform in the future and trans people don’t visibly exist and that your voice and body type have to “match up” so you can have sex with other people you could at the very fucking least think about the implications of these things, the fact that maybe everyone being able to get the same cheap genital surgeries makes everything uniform and oppressive re: gender, like the fact that theres only two penis options could mean something instead of being an obvious reflection of the limited imaginations of the developers, but whatever, i’m a moron for thinking these guys have ever heard of doctors sculpting every woman they see’s pussys to look the same because theyre nazis. there isnt even a weird cyber dick or anything in the entire game. my insane ex girlfriend used to write paragraphs and paragraphs about the mechanics of the synthetic lube her characters cyber pussy had and the different flavorings u could set it up to excrete like jesus christ try being interesting perverts for once in your life cdpr. people turn sawzalls into fucking machines irl that can literally kill you by rearranging your guts if you hold the trigger down slightly too hard and nobody is packing anything more industrial in the future? bull fuckin shit dude i don’t believe that for a second. nobody has two dicks or pussies? you can replace your ENTIRE BODY and they can’t make another hole in you or bolt some shit on? instead the peak of perversion in the future is pegging, a racist anime girl ad for cola and super loud orgasm noises blasting out of a TV.
i mean christ it’s more than even just the sex being bizarrely puritan for 2077, you can’t even become a tank, you like see some heavily modified npc who mostly exist for you to mow down but you can’t even replace your legs with chrome. you can’t be a metal freak at all, it makes zero sense, you would only NOT let the player do this if you never want to reckon with the game as written (the player characters are inherently on the edge of psychosis because of their line of work and the cost of modifying yourself to participate in it, on top of how society blames a lot of problems on over-augmentation when it’s really the same old issues of snapping because you lost your job, someone you know got murdered, the cops beat you up etc) so there goes a lot of the social commentary inherent to the setting. in the tabletop game you literally have to go to therapy after big surgeries because your grasp on human life begins to slip as you find yourself unable to ignore the fact that you can effortlessly rip meatbags apart with your gorilla arms. this rocks of course so they’d never put it in a videogame. it’s a setting where you really do start responding to people mouthing off to you with lethal force just because you can not because you have to, because you have a military grade targeting system in your head that tells your odds of taking all the people around you and makes their name turn red like a call of duty game if they say anything a computer detects as being remotely hostile, and the videogame adaptation is totally uninterested in even talking about how fucking insane that is. it is bad enough we live in a present that is totally capable of warping your perceptions, let alone a future where synthetic machinery in your skull can be programmed to unconsciously shape and take control of them
and on a more juvenile note lol that the guys who couldn’t resist putting a pulp fiction reference in witcher 3 didn’t even put in a sex worker with three tits in their cyberpunk future game
