What's with the obsession with sexuality and sex in this game?

[Salmon Sashimi 刺身]

It's put me off from buying it completely. I don't want to get involved with a game that puts priorities on 2020 sexuality Politics or even has this ♥♥♥♥ as a option. That's wack. It's a game not a porno.

ok, im back. Cyberpunk is mainly about social conflict between the masses in the lower class and corporations managing the market and influence in society.
With and extreme advance in technology almost able to be acquired by the poorest people.
Excess of drugs, crime, gangs and of course cyberware enhancements (wich is addictive).

Questioning where a human stops to be human to became a cyborg or robot or a full IA.

As sex IS part of any society, in a dystopic cyberpunk setting imagination goes wild on cyber enhancements for "satisfaction". Sex becoming banalized and trivialized as farting while walking on the street.

I do not think sex is the main subject in cyberpunk worlds, rather the struggle between a decying society with high tech at the hands of an elite of corpos. And questioning where the line between human and machine is drawn.

I disagree partially. The sex is actually somewhat of a feature only because it is such a dystopian society that people use that as an escape. Check out altered carbon.. or better yet go google cyberpunk titles and or samples of any book ever written in that genre and it will paint a bit of a different picture. Is it central spotlight? Of course not. But it is certainly prevalent. Sometimes with many neon ads! LOL

yeah that was what I meant, totally agree.

The devs didnt really focus on that much outside of the fact that CP has always had the ability to have warped/hyper sexual body types in its lore.

The games "media" like Kotaku and PC Gamer have been hyper focused on this stuff since 2016 or so. They look for anything to do with sexual encounters in a game and scream about particular demographics being represented. They are just looking for rage-bait so people will click the link so they can make money off of the ad revenue.

That's a good movie. Not sure if id call it pure cyberpunk as it didnt really hit me as dystopian? Ehh maybe? I could be wrong. Futuristic sure. But ehhh.. i suppose it's debatable one way or another. (in all seriousness though... if no on has seen that movie.. please.. go watch it, its a classic)

You're right. But Akira is cyber right? If you haven't watched, watch it. It's pretty good.

Yeah Akira certianly has cyberpunk elements for sure. (neo tokyo) Ghost in a shell is probably a really good example if we are talking anime. I really need to finish Akira though lol.. ugh..

You do realise the real world sexualizes everything too right? Sex sells.

It's really about how far CDPR is willing to push the boundaries. No one really wants this to be some kinda of porn :P (well, most don't )

[The Former]

The focus is only there because potential players (and social media commentators who both are and aren't planing on playing) make it a focus. There's not a lot of it in the actual marketing. All I really noticed is that they mentioned you'll be able to form relationships, which is... pretty common in RPGs. I mean, big deal.

why is nudity so taboo but hyper violence is not ? whats scarier a titty or cutting someone in half ?

I've had a nipple or two almost put an eye out, so debatable...

Probably because no healthy person is going to see violence in a video game and then go out and commit it. Sexuality invokes a desire to engage in a very normal act, yet one that can have serious repercussions if engaged haphazardly. One can argue that the way it's often used in video game promotes haphazard engagement, because simply seeing it biologically activates hormones that spur a desire to engage.

Thousands of years of religion oppression.
