Post reblogged from yes, I know I'm all over your front page.
If you’re having a private phone conversation with the phone off your ear, no headphones, and the speaker on in public, that’s a public conversation now. That’s an open invite, and I’m going to chime in if I have an opinion. This is now OUR disagreement about your boyfriend’s spending habits.

why are cyberpunk tabletop things so obsessed with decency and personhood being tied to how many surgeries you haven’t had
“if you have a prosthetic it takes out a part of your soul” like thanks shadowrun
in early cyberpunk, the point was more along the lines of “if we integrate technology into our bodies we risk becoming dependent upon the people and institutions who control that technology, who would then use that to enrich themselves at our expense”
unfortunately that was too anti-corporate for American mainstream culture so as cyberpunk moved out of its niche it became “uhhh it eats your soul I guess”

#this is important context #if you weren’t around at the time it is easy to miss but #anti-corporate sentiment was pretty much the lynchpin of cyberpunk until there were movies and games making money off it #it was the 1980s you guys #the entire point was that corporations are evil and technology should be used to circumvent them and escape their control over our lives #and not be used to make ourselves into another product #now that the internet is entirely monetized and corporate it’s harder to remember that originally it was synonymous w freedom & independence
Yes, exactly. Cyberpunk is anti-corporations, not anti-body-modification.

The horror of cyberpunk shouldn’t be “augh I have a metal arm, am I even human anymore?” It should be “augh I have a metal arm and in order to pay the licensing, subscription, and maintenance fees I have to turn to a life of crime because corporate lobbyists have kept the minimum wage too low to live on.”

“It’s so fucked up women have to do sex work to survive” so trueee it’s so fucked up we live in a capitalist society where you need to do work you don’t want to do just to be alive. I’m so glad we’re talking about ALL the jobs that are forced onto people, especially women, that are full of harassment. Thank God we’re not just focusing on jobs that are already heavily stigmatized and shaming women for doing what’s necessary to survive, even though every single person has to do that but for some reason it’s immoral when it’s a stripper instead of a fast food employee
“Sex workers don’t want to be sex workers, they have to do it to make money” no fucking wayyy im sure that cashier being yelled at because someone brought an expired coupon loves her job and it’s what she wants to do forever
