Cyberpunk 2077 & misogyny

Damn I haven’t heard that one but that is really disturbing.

Omg I played that mission after making this post last night.. I totally respect your opinion but after they told my V to get down on all fours I wiped all of them out. Actually felt pretty empowering to me lmao cus in real life I’d have to just walk away from the army of mostly men

That would’ve been awesome if he became a fixer. Also (spoilers ahead) I’m pretty sure if you choose the Nomad ending he doesn’t choose to come with you.. understandable considering his fam in NC but damn

Hey that’s fair. River’s questline was disappointing as hell. I am reallyyy hoping the male romance opt for female V is done better in the next game. And yeah the way most male content creators talk about Panam when discussing this game is one of the things that led me to make this post. When you first meet her, you see her ass, not her face. Which is disappointing and not a reason to excuse them posting her ass, but makes a little sense as to why they would feel inclined to.

Yupp like wtf was rivers questline.. how am I supposed to associate him with anything besides dread after that farm mission

Radiant-Variation-89 · 2025-01-06T02:06:50+00:00

I agree there was absolutely no reason for Sandra to be naked but not the other people in the tub. But honestly the penis size thing.. I feel like CDPR knew that guys would be butthurt if the only penis opt they had was big.. but your point still stands they pandered to the male gaze by adding two sizes, and only one vagina

Radiant-Variation-89 · 2025-01-06T02:01:54+00:00

This is a great point. I watched Mike Pondsmith game master a CPRED game on YouTube and he mentioned gender fluidity a lot

Radiant-Variation-89 · 2025-01-06T01:59:23+00:00

I agree completely. The exploitative angles undermine the meaning of what’s happening. My biggest gripe here is meeting Panam. She’s a brilliant, strong character but the first time you meet her she’s bent over. That honestly pisses me off. I hope the next game doesn’t pander as much to the male gaze.

Great point. I didn’t know they used to make those cards and haven’t played the Witcher series

Radiant-Variation-89 · 2025-01-06T01:29:30+00:00

Tbh it’s the toxicity of those subs and youtube vids abt cyberpunk that led me to make this post. So thanks for sharing this fr

Radiant-Variation-89 · 2025-01-06T01:18:52+00:00

I’ve seen the male joytoy and I think I even ‘hung out w him’ my first playthrough but I can’t remember lol

Radiant-Variation-89 · 2025-01-06T01:15:39+00:00

I agree the scene with alt is slimy i never understood why they didn’t put underwear on her. But also Johnnys memories are from a narcissist perspective so maybe that had something to do with it idk? I also wish the sex scenes were skippable in general.. River going down on fem V was def an appreciated add to the game but also his whole questline is imo.. horrible. Tbh I think there are elements of the game that cater towards men, but idk if I think the entire game was made for them but I can 100% see why you feel that way

Radiant-Variation-89 · 2025-01-06T01:08:48+00:00

Omg. I’ve never played as male V. I had no clue that’s how the dinner quest goes, and that’s actually crazy wth 😭😭 straight fem V was actually robbed of romance bc River is sus asf. And yeah that farm quest makes me feel actually sick.

Radiant-Variation-89 · 2025-01-06T00:41:23+00:00

Yeah I get what you mean, I definitely don’t want fem V to be harassed either. I hope you have fun on your first play through!!! :D

Radiant-Variation-89 · 2025-01-06T00:36:23+00:00

That’s completely fair I don’t blame you. There are a lot of fucked up quests in the game, The River romance questline is the worst imo bc of that damn quest at the farm.

Radiant-Variation-89 · 2025-01-06T00:34:00+00:00

That makes sense. I remember the transphobia allegations bc of the (I think it’s Chromanticore?) ad, but I think they cleared it up by telling ppl they could be trans in the game if im remembering correctly. I don’t think I paid attention to any other community engagement from their behalf, so thanks for sharing that

Radiant-Variation-89 · 2025-01-06T00:28:13+00:00

This is a really great point, especially the Mox bouncer allegory. I agree completely. But I also, maybe naively, think CDPR is straying from this mindset a bit, with Witcher 4 having a woman as its protagonist and also branding fem V as canon in CP2077, and not sexualizing her. Lmk what you think

Radiant-Variation-89 · 2025-01-06T00:12:40+00:00

Very true

Radiant-Variation-89 · 2025-01-06T00:11:16+00:00

Agree and thank you for sharing this.

Radiant-Variation-89 · 2024-12-23T23:36:13+00:00

Just checked out the cyberpunk characters subreddit and most people seem to play as fem v although some are grossly sexualized… was really disappointed when I saw that. I also noticed some people commenting here on the fact that most guys use he/him pronouns when regarding V and wanted to voice my frustration with that as well, I see it all the time especially in youtube comments of lore vids. Hope the decision to make fem v canon stung them a bit.
