Today in transphobia (Part 1)

This forum topic on gaming forum Resetera starts with a post that compiles evidence and analysis of the words and actions of the game dev CD Projekt RED and comes to the conclusion that they are a transphobic game studio.

My hype and interest for Cyberpunk 2077 faded to nothing a good while ago. I saw that it was going to be your typical dudebro mega-AAA game that only uses the cyberpunk genre as set dressing. A disgrace the whole genre that doesn’t ask any serious questions about the real world, or get the player thinking.

I’d known about the garbage tweets and hollow apologies that CDPR kept speaking, but reading this thread, which puts it all together in one place and provides analysis and deeper commentary on how and why the company is this bad, is a real big help for those of us who’d like to try and spread the word and put a dent, however small, in the sales of this game. This game which takes an important genre and mangles it into a generic power fantasy.
