IslamMD 08/21/18 8:39:56 PM #1:	https://kotaku.com/cyberpunk-2077-tweets-transphobic-joke-studio-apologiz-1828502562 Did you just assume their gender, the tweet said. The account was responding to a fan saying that they wanted more from the guys at Gamescom. CD Projekt Red is currently showing Cyberpunk 2077 at the event. While the tweet is not explicitly transphobic, the meme being referenced is largely used to belittle or demean the concerns of transgender people. Much like saying how youve decided to identify as an attack helicopter is a way to mock transgender folks, this phrase is meant to mock the supposedly fragile egos of tumblrinas and social justice warriors. Its not clear whether or not the employee responsible intended it as offensive. The tweet was later deleted and an apology issued. Sorry to all those offended by one of the responses sent out from our account earlier, a tweet on the official Cyberpunk 2077 Twitter account said. Harming anyone was never our intention. --- Kevin Durant. Lord of the Warriors. Swisher of Hoops. <cite>IslamMD posted [p:907312407] in Cyberpunk ...

Anyone who wants a good laugh can look at this 40+ resetera topic https://www.resetera.com/threads/cyberpunk-2077-twitter-account-makes-transphobic-joke-read-op.63305/ There were originally two concurrent threads about this which resulted in a record shattering 12 permanent bans and numerous smaller infractions. If that gets your attention then please read carefully: "Did You Just Assume My Gender?" is a well known meme that has been used to trivialize and make fun of LGBT concerns since 2016. It specifically mocks transgender people for having preferred pronouns, even though no one ever actually uses the quote in real life. It's a derogatory stereotype and is inherently transphobic. Any internet search will bring up numerous examples. Given that the intent of the meme is to mock the feelings of a marginalized group, it is particularly poor form to dismiss their feelings on this matter. If you do not think you can engage that perspective seriously and respectfully then you should not post.

It may be a small part of it, but unaware and insensitive attitudes are the bedrock that allows the crueler aspects to exist. Same with any other kind of discrimination. Foster and normalize flippant or negative attitudes, worse things will follow. No, I'm not going to parade an effigy of CDPR around as a bunch of bigots, but this is a bad look. --- CyricZ <cite>CyricZ posted [p:907341172] in Cyberpunk ...
