I’ve seen a lot of comments about CD Project RED‘s transphobia in cyberpunk 2077, but not a lot of contextualizing this with the pushback against lgbtq+ rights in poland by right wing/christian groups, and how that ties into the global pushback against “gender ideology”
ugh I totally didn’t think about gamers namesearching videogames to defend their honor when I made that tweet, why are gamers https://twitter.com/feuer_ameise/status/1336275465967980545

that bio is unintentionally hilarious though
dear cis people, google is free, you don’t understand transphobia and don’t have the range to discuss this https://www.cbr.com/cyberpunk-2077-transphobia/
how are all the cissies in my replies discussing whether the game is transphobic or not (it is), that’s literally not the point of my tweet, the tweet is about the wider context, the dire situation of lgbtq+ people in poland https://twitter.com/feuer_ameise/status/1336275465967980545
pride parades in poland are literally attacked by neo nazi groups while the police watches, the government and church demonize queer people at every opportunity, and it’s unsafe for queer people to be out in many places
if you’re cis, you can give 70$ to the polish group Kampania Przeciw Homofobii instead of buying a game by a company that doesn’t under that cyberpunk is and has always been political https://www.paypal.com/donate?token=ZP3twxWK84dH5j9Rc19akBq4ZhbWRsYOzkvOQP2dRn65_FcjlinxGGemVMaXpQHYjdFZq93fCBgfmMi2
