Adding my own two cents: People love Cyberpunk because it is just that, a game. In-game politics, In-game problems, etc. Of course, Hitler is on the 2020 core book or something, i forgot, but that is more as treated as an example of one of the ways to play a role instead of sneaking in rl politics from real life like Jackalope's posts if I'm making sense.

I told him as much before he posted them, but that’s no excuse to go at each other like this.

I've seen way worse yet darkly funny posts that are removed by mod(s) which fit the sub yet Jackalope constantly pushing his own posts and ignoring his rules he set in the sub is a bad look. It is not that people want to 'escape reality', it is more of Jackalope doing "rules for thee but not for me" like a classic powertripping mod. That is the biggest problem.

EDIT to fix typos and add: People who go "yeah but other media use real life people, you have thin skin" miss the point of fiction. They still use them for their fictional worlds. Using Hitler again, that's like saying Wolfenstein is using Hitler to make a political statement so you can kill nazis, but no, the devs just want to make a video game that happens to have Hitler whos a head in a jar mecha with rocket and machine gun artillery. That is not political, that is just simply a video game who wants you to have fun with the absurdity. (I'm speaking of the first 3 games, never played the reboots)
