Forced political ideologies injected into AAA games

[Solo]

What is this recent trend where (presumably) American leftist game designers feel it is their duty to inject their political ideology into everything they do?
Why is it that we have no choice but to use trucks with trans flags and pick up dildos as collectables even playing as male characters in an RPG?

These young, radical leftist designers believe their world is everything and you must be forced to accept it. There are other countries outside of San Francisco, USA, where we do not even have gay marriage legal (like here in Japan), so making current political movements/events/icons etc mandatory, no option to turn off, no option to change etc, IN AN RPG GAME, makes no sense.
Clearly, to me, these people intend to force all who just want to enjoy a good game to gradually accept their ideals as "normal" by any method they can.
I bought this game, but it is clear CDPR has radically become a different company, intending to force players to accept their politics. If this trend continues, count me out.

That is even more sad than trolling. Feeling righteous right now?

Creators in all media are permitted to inject whatever political or ideological content they like into their creations. We're not entitled to entertainment media free of all ideological or political content we might not personally find appealing. Cyberpunk has always been, as Mike Pondsmith put it, "inherently political." If anything, some could argue (and have) that this game isn't cyberpunk enough in its ideological stances, to the extent any exist at all.

You may wish to research Talsorian and Mike Pondsmith (creators of this IP) and where they stand on things politically, as well.

Why do you have to report my opinion on issues I have with CDPR developments? You cannot just say I am a troll or whatever when I post something you don't agree with.

Video games are becoming part of political leftist agenda and this revolutionary culture war which is funded by the elite globalist (meta capitalists) that wants to destroy your family and good behaviors for them continue their dynasty freely from father to son...
Plus SJW and others which are all maneuver masses working for their purposes.
Who forgot already about Mess Effect Andromeda?
Why? Because video games surpassed hollywood already.
I understand your indignation bringing that here but sadly, you are on the wrong place.
No one here cares about it because the majority are part of this Gen Z.
They are unable to see anything right in front of their noses.

Trans isn’t political. Trans people exist, deal with it, cupcake. Dont like it, don’t play the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ game. This post has been reported. The right are the very SJWs they’re always whining about; losing track of all the tears I’ve seen from your sort about the politics of the game and those criticizing it.

It is political though, as evidence by American politics currently. It is very tied to the leftist ideology. Trans is also a very recent trend and gaining political power.

Like I said, for Americans, this is somehow a normal thing to argue. Everyone else in the world has such a hard time accepting American or western ideologies as truth they must accept in video games and all media.
Especially for such global AAA games, political ideologies should not be injected into games. It creates divide and causes these kinds of arguments.

Can you expect Cyberpunk to be accepted in the Middle East, where gays are killed? Just because Americans say their view is right, all others will not simply accept it. For muslims, they are the correct ones.

Next up in your line of reasoning with idiotic arguments; COVID and Bill gates? Flat earth? G5?

Well, gonna get myself a nice bucket of popcorn because this will become a .... topic fast.

"...even playing as male characters in an rgg"

do you think that male is somehow inherently anti-trans, anti-dildo use?

I’ve known plenty of trans people. They don’t view themselves as political pawns. I’ve known conservative and leftist trans people. As someone that considers myself to be extreme left, it’s not something that is political to me. They’re people that deserve all the same rights as I do. Myself and leftists I know spend very little time talking trans issues. It’s the radical, MAGA, Christian chuds that seem to be obsessed with it.

Maybe not. But why should it be? Censoring games because someone somewhere might get offended is exactly the kind of extremist view you were complaining about earlier. Today we live in a world where internet connection is available almost everywhere, and tools used to create games are largely open-source. Literally nothing prevents people from outside Western world to create their own games, which may reflect whatever values they wish.

It's rest of the world's own fault for getting so addicted to Western entertainment, like it's our own fault in Europe that got so addicted to trashy American reality television formats and fast food. Nothing prevents countries from building their own culture and rejecting trends popular elsewhere.

Terrifying, games have never been political before ever, I am absolutely just quaking in fear at cyberpunk, the first political game ever being released, just frozen in fear.

Funny... a self described extreme person who dislikes other extreme persons. Funny part, MAGA is not even that extreme. So I really wonder what you consider extreme left.

AFAIK, CD Project is a Polish studio. So your presumption is incorrect.

Indeed... in a country that have very strong movements against what the OP advertise against.
But the whole debate is stupid without context... this is cyberpunk lore.... ofc we will see silly stuff and ofc we will see progression in many fields as well... There is no "forced" you to engage in any sexuality or opinion most likely, but there are "choices" those "choices" are a pro, not a con.

I reckon you can shoot whomever you like, dislike whomever you like, etc etc as well.
Besides.. sometimes silly can be fun

All art is political. You specifically get mad at politics that go against your beliefs dear OP, not politics in general.

You don't have to drive the trucks, or get the dildo weapon. (Which is this thing called a joke weapon, where it is mean't to be stupid or silly.)
