trilllizard666 hahahahahahahah oh god i'm dying laughing so hard at how the f------ people whinging about how racist cyberpunk 2077's voodoo boys are basically all weepy white people and then mike pondsmith says himself "Actually, I wanted them to do it like that, though CDPR said it might be controversial" and how Hatian/Trinidadian people approached Mike and the other writers for the tabletop involved with 2077 and said "hey, just wanted to say, they got the way we talk and our culture spot on, thanks man" palindromordnilap I'm sure you can explain The Animals as well, then? PS: K trilllizard 666 The Animals are basically based on the idea that elements of the US Government, intelligence, and law enforcement communities invented crack and distributed it into successful black activist/separatist/radical groups with the intention to destroy them with the highly addictive substances, along with the popular media panic of PCP and Crack Cocaine Addled Super Criminals that was big in the 80s, but exaggerated and taken to a logical conclusion for instance, in the original Terminator, Sarah Connor tells the police about this guy chasing her and trying to murder her and she thinks he isn't human cause he punched through a windshield, while the cops talking to her said they seen people high on PCP or crack do just that and that's probably what the dude was oh btw this is what Mike Pondsmith looks like and you know what? he's super proud and pleased with the depiction that cdpr is giving the factions that he had a hand in creating, even advising and directing them on specific directions to take them, so l think if he thought that this s--- was racist, he would've maybe brought it up during the long development period of this game it's a sign of excellent worldbuilding when there are entire corners of an international city where there are communities that speak their own language and slang trilllizard666 Y-27632 26 points 2 days ago othe comment section under the Rock Paper Shotqun hit piece had some assholes (one very vocal one, in particular) repeatedly telling eeryone that 1. Mike Pondsmith was involved at some point, but he's definitely not heavily involved anymore, because he'd never sign off on something as "racist" as a gang called "Animals 2. CDPR deviated from the 2020 canon horribly and inexcusably in their portrayal of the Voodoo Boys. 3. The whole thing just sets off "alarm bells" suggesting that the game is profoundly inauthentic and CDPR didn't really get Cyberpunk. I wish I could throw this in their faces (if only to see how they'd try to argue 2+2-3), but the RPS f-------- closed the comments, because they got tired of deleting posts from people telling them how full of s--- they were. therealmaxmike R. Talsorian Games Score hidden 6 hours ago . If I wasn't heavily involved, I would be able have a life. get more done. As it is, I barely 2. As for the Animals-the WHOLE FREAKING POINT is that they think of themselves as POWERFUL, DANGEROUS, WILD ANIMALS. You'd have thought the Lady named "Sasquatch" would have given them a clue. The original Voodoo Boys were a scathing commentary on cultural appropriation. I LOVE the idea that real practicioners took back their turf. And they even got the Creole right! f Voudon moved in and Who the (bleep) do YOU think you are to tell ME whether or not MY creation was done right or not? this is mike pondsmith's actual reddit account Imao i f------ LOVE this man

Christ, between this and that trans ad are people just literally trying to pull controversies out of thin air to discredit the game because it's not bogged down by scummy bullshit like most AAA games these days? because I don't think even Stretch Armstrong himself can go this far.

And it's nice to see a creator enjoy his work and help CDPR in such a way. Especially after what happened with the Witcher's writer.

The way some of those folk talk you'd think it's literally impossible to make a morally grey or outright villainous character from another culture. Hello? We're all human. Everyone has their dark sides. Everywhere will have its own villains.
