You should put why it's transphobic in the OP like you did in post #11.
This is the first time I've ever seen someone call this joke transphobic. My non-binary and genderfluid friends consistently say this.
I'm not seeing what's offensive here, unless being a lazy joke is considered offensive. If someone could enlighten me as to WHY it's offensive that'd be nice
Edit: in the time it took me to write this on my phone a handful of posts went up that explain why.

Yeah, it's competing for the most common shitty transphobic meme with the helicopter one.
I doubt it's someone actually working on the game and just a social media manager that's about to be in some hot water
Yeah everything is offensive now. People dig everywhere now to get offended
love how half of you could easily just have googled to find out why the joke is a problem but instead chose to be offended by someone taking issue with it
can't wait for this to be the topic of insufferable discourse for the week with people defending cdpr because they made the Witcher 3 and can't put themselves in trans ppls shoes

Well, yeah...AFTER I asked what it meant lol. It should be in the initial post.
CDPR needs a better social media manager, between tweeting this transphobic shit and LITERALLY TWEETING A GAMERGATE MEME
It's mocking trans people for being upset when they're misgendered.
It's transphobic.
I'm glad it doesn't concern you enough to concern you to post some hand waving shit. Just because it doesn't bother you doesn't it make it not hurtful to others.
You know, there was some dodgy commentary around The Witcher 3, not even necessarily from CDPR, that the game being pretty exceptional made mostly fairly easy to put out of mind. Fine.
But now they're just going all in with putting their foot in their mouth for CP2077. Like, we're inching closer to The Last Night by the month.

Definitely transphobic. Did CDPR come out against GamerGate? I don't think they did, really. TW3 not exactly a fount of diversity either.
This thread is fucking infuriating. Get a clue people. Being this obtuse is why nobody takes era as some liberal bastion seriously.
Okay maybe they are ill educated like myself, I thought Transgendered people say this to people who get their gender wrong, as I swore I saw someone on Twitter using it who was Trans themselves and they were telling off a Cis Male
I did not realise myself, it's actually an insult.
If not and the Cyberpunk Devs are fully aware then shame on them :( they should know better.

is ERA supposed to be a liberal bastion? I wasn't aware.
they literally tweeted a gamergate meme when Postal 2 went up on GOG.
User Banned (1 Day) - Downplaying Bigotry
Might be a joke in poor taste, in this climate. But bigotry? I don't know about that. I guess in our more sensitive age what constitutes as "bigotry" ever expands.
But you know what would be interesting, seeing that Cyberpunk is about transhumanism and there's a character creator: letting us create a transgendered character. Choose a gender but allow all kinds of body and clothing options independently. Wouldn't be out of place in that world, I'd say.

Excited for the game but yeesh this is a bad tweet, it's a joke that panders to transphobic attitudes and Cyberpunk as a genre should be very open to body autonomy. I know the Marketing team probably doesn't reflect the game itself but this definetly doesn't inspire confident.
Maybe those of you who don't know this is an extremely common transphobic meme could defer to those that do before you start whining about anyone daring to take offense to it.
It's like 12 year old edgelord shit spouted by 4channers. Let people be bothered by it when it's said by someone representing a game that's supposed to be progressive by the definition of it's fucking name.
Especially the people who are genuinely offended by this. It's a joke, you'll live.

So what you're saying is that if it weren't for obtuse people like the ones in this thread, then ERA could be rightfully taken seriously as a liberal bastion?
User banned (permanent): Mocking the LGBT community over transphobia concerns
It's not enough to just offend a single individual in 2018; reasonability and scope of impact has to come into it.
'!?' does not denote tone or intention, only one's interpretation. Nothing to see here.
If anything, the LGBTIQ2S+ community is actually being factored into popular culture and discourse.

It's one of the most common transphobic jokes going currently, so yeah, really "clever".
The entire point of the "joke" is mocking people for being upset at being misgendered.
but then i'd have to be around people who have different life experiences than me ): ): ): ):
You know, this reasoning can be used in all sorts of ways? 'Oh hey you n-word!' 'Why you upset? It's a joke, you'll live'.
