Cyberpunk 2077 Posters That Don’t Offend Anyone
Russian artist Ivan Efimov has created a series of ‘gender neutral’ posters for the Cyberpunk 2077. Cyberpunk 2077 is an upcoming role-playing video game developed and published by CD Projekt Red.
CD Projekt Red has given more details about Cyberpunk 2077’s character creator and the game’s depiction of transgender characters. This follows criticism over an in-game advert that uses a sexualised trans model to sell a drink with the slogan “Mix it up”. It’s the only depiction of trans characters we’ve seen so far, so it raised some red flags.
The ad’s artist has defended it by saying it’s an example of the sort of exploitation that’s normal in Cyberpunk’s world and exactly the sort of thing you’re fighting against. It’s context that would have been handy when CD Projekt Red first put it on display.
