RoadTheExile: Yet another guy who doesn't understand how all art is political crying at even the possibility that it might disagree with him. The cyberpunk genre is literally political by nature, the whole point of it's inception was to dispel the idea that social ills can be cured with high technology; the game will prominently feature mega-corporations as antagonists in all likelihood and will make commentary on class and wealth disparity. We can't know for certain but there probably will be plenty of other things the game has to say on numerous modern political controversies, probably at least gender given how they already confirmed that they aren't going to have some kind of a binary choice whatever that means.
Keep living in a fantasy world where the real reason why art is changing with the time is some kind of conspiracy, i'm sure that CD Projekt Red will surely include all the things they choose to talk about only because they believe that games journalists who definitely don't actually play games have to be pleased.
2 yes, thhe game may be political. Infact if it stays true to the lore it might touch on the damage that PC culture does in that timeline. I remember seeing a screenshot of an excerpt about the history of cyberpunk from a manual (it wasn't flattering to Social Justice)
3 keep living in the echo chamber where you don't see a small group have the privilege to silence the majority just by using labels that don't fit who they are applied to against their will.
Oh yeah, I'm living in the echo chamber but also even just the hint of a disagreement sends you recoiling in disgust. This whole idea is the biggest example of a group of people trying to will a mantra into existence; pretty much all leftist thought only makes sense trying to confront alternative ideas about society, to challenge this or that; on the other hand reactionary thought were you lose your shit because someone implies maybe gender isn't a binary or that a woman can be a better fighter than a man or something even more silly only makes sense within the context of an echo chamber.
I'm sure you do some history of cyberpunk manual that is "unflattering" in the same way that you wish Marvel would stop being SJW trash and go back to their roots. You can't even bring yourselves to embrace the idea of context without all your concerns falling to pieces.
This is also kind of an example of how all art is political, although I admit that's a pretty abstract view, but like in this example where OP is crying that art might challenge his perspectives of the world the absence of certain themes becomes a political statement in and of itself.

You cant have a Cyberpunk game without intense heavily political notes... this will blow anything you've plaid out of the water when ti comes to politics.
If you want to figure out whats up get the source books, and read up... worth every second of your time I promise!
What's even relevant? I don't know if things have changed between editions or something; weren't they putting out some kind of lore book in June or something?

A guy can say (a movie with a female lead/predominately female cast) doesn't appeal to him & in this day and age better prepare to be told "He hates womyn." by some very nasty peeps. for example. & yet be "blasted" again for liking another movie with a female lead.
Cries of "...ist's", "...ism's", "....phobic's" & the four-letter N-word has been applied to many people in the past few years that those terms are (to me) de-fanged.
I've extremely active in political leftist groups and I have never heard any of that shit, heard plenty of people bitching about it. Maybe... maybe... just maybe....... you're in an echo chamber that perpetuates that myth in a desperate plea to have an element of persecution you can unite around? Never heard ANYONE say "Ghost Busters? Naw, not really my jam" and heard in response "WHAT? YOU MALE PIG! YOU HATE WOMYN!!!!!!" I didn't care about Ghost Busters, I also didn't scour Twitter for tweets with 1 like telling me that made me a bad person. Funny how that works.
But like Lace asked for a citation and your response was basically "come on, everyone knows X happens!" which kind of goes to show that you can't actually back this up.
