AN AVERAGE DAY ON RESETERA DISCUSSINGybeRpNK 2 0 .7 :7 59 minutes ago #1 So today I watched the two most recent CP2077 trailers Postcards from Night City and Gangs of Night City and was struck by the sheer number of hypersexualised in- game ads there were. Not only were there so many, but they all appeared to feature women. Curious, I decided to go back through each trailer frame by frame to collect every 'sexy' ad, just in case I missed something. Dmax3901 Combined the two trailers add up to almost eight minutes of footage and I managed to spot no less than TWENTY-ONE unique ads featuring sexualised women, only one of which featured a male body prominently (but was still about a straight male fantasy), and only one featuring a same sex interaction (two women of course). Member These ads/images range from generic to actually pretty f----- up (the dog one and the 'king size' one are particularly gross) but I still think the sheer variety and uniformity of them women. swhat shocks me the most. Worth nothing that all of the pole dancers and other sexualised characters in the footage of the game itself were also Anyway here they are for your perusal (apologies for the quality, I just used the windows snipping tool): SPOILER: NSFW What, if anything, are CD Projekt Red trying to do here? If it's to reflect our own world they've failed because even 2020 advertising manages to be more diverse than this. Is it to depict a future where women are still sexualised to a far higher degree than men? If so, why? We know our current world is homophobic, transphobic and sexist, do they really think ads like this are cutting satire, or nuanced critique?

Fujibayoshi Banned Today at 8:58 AM < #64 A User Banned (2 :Dismiss driveby I love the grimy, scummy atmosphere they're going for, similar to Times Square in the 70 s and 80s where p--- theaters, liquor stores and sex shops were on every lazerface corner. Can not wait to dig into this game! Banned Today at 8:58 AM # 65 A User banned (2 weeks): dismissive driveby in a thread about objectification Nice. Anastiel_BR Banned Today at 8:59 AM # 68 WINNIPEG A User Banned (1 Month): Dismissing concerns around sexist objectification, account in junior phase. xKirbz Dmax3901 said: O Banned And that's basically where I'm coming from, if there was just as many sexualised male bodies as female (and I'm talking here about the trailers for the game too not just the in- world ads) it would make me feel a whole lot less uncomfortable about the whole thing. That said, "SEXUALISE EVERYONE!" doesn't necessarily seem like a great thing either. Click to expand.. Homelessness is a symptom of a criminal world full of depravity. Depraved people are full of lust, corruption, perversion, etc. Today at 9:00 AM < #73 A User Banned (2 weeks): Dismissive driveby Cdpr gave a good explanation to it, and its about world building and lore of the world. Makes sense, ppl are too sensitive to this. Carlius Banned Today at 9:02 AM < #78 A User Banned (1 month): Dismissive driveby in a sensitive topic, threadwhining Who cares? It's a 18+ game they can show whatever they want as long as it's not illegal Unkindled Banned Today at 11:58 AM # 106 A User Banned (Permanent): Concern trolling and dismissive behavior around sexist objectification, prior severe bans for sexist, racist, and transphobic posts its a fictional dsytopian future and its a game for adults. I dont get why its an issue. Is it because america is puritanical? lideogameVices Banned so its okay to kill people but a bit of sex = no000 Today at 11:59 AM # 107 A User Banned (2 Weeks): Dismissive commentary of objectification I imagine it's because it's a dystopian world. That doesn't mean it's correct but it's their creative vision. Probably best to reserve judgement until we've all played the full HanzSnubSnub game. Banned Today at 12:00 PM # 108 A User Banned (1 Week): Dismissive commentary of objectification Cyberpunk as a setting is not positive at all and there's nothing good in these various worlds. It's not tasteful. It's basically everything wrong with todays capitalist society bumped up by 1000 times. Hypersexualization is a part of this f----- up world, it's normal for everyone living there. There would be an issue if it was only female-centered ads, but men are also up there. And you can meet male prostitutes. Pettersen Banned From what I've played, there's not a pinch of violence or anything ill intented towards the sex-worker gang members when you visit the club. They are a group of people who broke free from some awful people to unite and work on their own terms afaik. Today at 11:55 AM # 101 User Banned (1 Month): Dismissive commentary of objectification, account in junior phase Some people seem to really not understand that the Cyberpunk genre is about a dystopian future where extreme technological progress leads to extreme social regression. It's a dark fantasy world. A dirty grimy future where morality and ethics are thrown out the window. It's not supposed to be politically correct and it would be a shame if CDPR weaseled out on this aspect. That would ruin the setting. Sure, perhaps CDPR won't do the themes any justice by keeping it shallow, , but perhaps we shouldn't dismiss the whole thing before even playing it.

Today at 12:08 PM # 122 A User Banned (2 Weeks): dismissing concerns around objectification This Cyberpunk cycle really starts to feel old. Everytime a new trailer is posted no matter what it depicts we get ten of these exact same threads criticizing everything in it. Like if you dont like CDPR or CB just ingnore it. Its not like these threads even seem to want to contribute anything. Its just same people circle jerking how bad the trailer/game is because some random reason x and usually they include zero ideas to rectify the "problems". Sandersson Banned Today at 12:21 PM # 138 A User Banned (2 Weeks) Whataboutism, dismissing concerns around objectification I've never understood why Outrage of sexual imagery gains precedence over morbid violence. Mintaro Banned You can murder and dismember people in this game. But hypersexualization in a genre specific dystopian setting is what you have contention with? Today at 12:21 PM # 139 A User Banned (Permanent): Inflammatory dismissal of concerns around objectification, very low post account If you keep trying to have everyone take everything in the most offensive way possible, it will be impossible to have satirical games like GTA V/Cyberpunk out there in Froz3n the space without overbearing criticism and accusations of sexism etc. They are depicting a hypersexualised and sexist society in a work of fiction. Of course it is going Banned to be sexist, but it doesn't mean the makers of the game are sexist any more than an actor depicting Hitler is actually Hitler. Can we have some nuance here PLEASE. Today at 12:21 PM < #140 A User Banned (2 Weeks): Dismissing concerns around objectification It's the game setting, nothing to do with our world. SoulsHunt Banned Today at 12:23 PM # 144 User Banned (1 Month) Attacking the Community, History of Sexist Commentary Well ERA would have a meltdown if they read some of the lorebooks for the tabletop game there is some really crazy s--- in there that not even CDPR put into the video Grimsonskies game. Banned Today at 12:23 PM # 145 A User Banned (2 weeks): Inflammatory whtaboutism, misappropriating arguments about accessibility for the disabled While we're at it, there is nothing wrong with sex just for the sake of sex. DOBERMANING Banned Maybe devs should have an accessibility option that removes sexual content for those that are ok with blood but not boobs and balls.
