A PALE INFANT: cultural appropriation doesn’t exist!!!!

A PALE INFANT: YOU CANT DO CYBERPUNK IN AN AMERICAN SETTING.

That’s a real comment I read. This isn’t even what’s being discussed but yes you fucking can??? You can literally do cyberpunk anywhere you unimaginative child.
I don’t know how to tell you but things evolve and if you like cyberpunk you should be more willing to accept that things evolve. Cain killed Abel with a rock but we got more clever about murdering our brother since then.
This is shaving years off my immortal life.
Here’s the article in question. A great read that highlights the issues cyberpunk has had since its conception. https://twitter.com/polygon/status/1355531257233465351
