Yeah, they have several penis options and enough going on for a whole paragraph in a press kit, it's more than a little creepy. Only one vagina option, though.

I never received confirmation on if they implemented a 'none' genitalia option. Not just skipping the selection, I'm talking about an outright 'there's nothing down there' option. I feel like that's a perfectly legitimate choice, and not having it would say something about their priorities.

You're assuming a lot that a "disable mature content" option wouldn't exist. It's just not exciting to talk about.

They're not talking about turning off genitals, they're talking about their in-universe genitalia having been completely removed rendering them a barbie doll down there. The company is saying the genital customisation level is about representation and reflection of a world where body mods are easy and common, but if it's never occurred to them to include an in-universe option of "none of the above" then that that lends credence to the argument that their six kinds of penis (and one vagina, that's sad on so many levels) is more about titillation than exploration of the future of self modification.

Oh, yeah, it was just two penis options and one vagina. It's very weird to see so much emphasis on such a barebones choice.

It was following the whole transphobic employee/sign debacle, they made a big deal over how you could mix and match genitals regardless of gender.

But yeah if there's just three options that's a lot less suspect all around, I was picturing a lovingly crafted dong array scrolling across the bottom of the character screen

It feels weirdly puritanical to be so concerned when the source is a kotaku article that mentions the genitals amongst several other options.

https://www.kotaku.com.au/2020/06/cyberpunk-2077-customisation-character-creator/


quote:

For those who want to see every option, there’s a lot. 6 skin types, 35 hairstyles, 17 eyes, 8 eyebrows, 17 eyes, 17 mouths, 17 jaws, 17 ears, 8 bits of “cyberware” (as well as no cyberware), 9 types of scars plus off, 6 types of tatts plus off, 11 piercings plus off, 5 types of teeth, 8 bits of eye makeup, 5 bits of lip makeup plus off, 3 blemishes, 3 types of nipples, 5 types of body tatts, 2 types of body scars, 2 dick types, 1 vagina option, dick size options, and 5 types of pubic hairs.

You’re not immediately presented with the nudity, either. If you want to just have that stuff disabled, it stays disabled. If you want it hanging out there, then have at it. But what’s nice is that the game will at least honour your choice, if you then want to have a randomised preset. I cycled through the randomised character generator for about two minutes straight, and it never actively changed the genitalia preferences (mine were disabled).

Like nothing about that feels off especially mixed in with other stuff and it can be ignored. Its just a games journalist mentioning it to articulate how many options there are. CD Projekt hasnt said anything themselves other than options will not be locked behind gender.

I mean, the way I look at this is in the context of the very sexualized pre-release stuff, and their previous record with the Witcher games. I get the feeling that they let you customize that with the intention that you will use it. And personally, I don't want to.

Which actually factors into why I was asking for a 'none' option on that. The option to just opt out of junk entirely would actually be rather promising to me in terms of how they consider that sort of thing. Whereas mandatory genitalia implies that they consider that an essential component for their game's content in some way, which implies vastly different priorities than I have.

The fact you can turn it off actually seems to state it's not that essential to me. If you don't want to engage with the sexual content you won't have to because the option to not customize or show your genitalia is there. Like if you want to be an asexual person who just doesn't have genitalia and that's remarked upon in the game universe, then I got nothing, sorry.

Which incident? Because theres admittedly 2 major ones. One was the "Did you assume my gender?" Tweet which they fired the guy
https://kotaku.com/gogs-community-manager-was-fired-for-offensive-tweets-1830922081/

And the trans person poster
https://www.polygon.com/platform/amp/e3/2019/6/12/18662443/cyberpunk-2077-trans-advertisement-cd-projekt-red-e3-2019
The artist explains her reasoning. I immediately sided with her interpretation, that in the future trans people would be accepted but also means they can be fetishized was the intent. Portrayal doesnt mean condoning of the content.

If you think these aren't enough, too little too late or happened too many times to be a coincidence I get it. Their track record is not great, and I don't represent all queer people, but I just dont feel cause for alarm.
