Mike Pondsmith's (Cyberpunk 2020 creator) response to some Cyberpunk 2077 criticism (accuracy to his orig. work, race representation) [see staff post]

[Redcrayon]

Let's get a few things straight here.

There have been numerous conversations surrounding the way Cyberpunk 2077 may depict different races and identities. These conversations are not identical or interchangeable and should not be treated as such.

Furthermore, while Pondsmith's personal perspective should be respected, it's important to understand other people may still take issue with his work. This includes other minorities, including other black people.

Anyone arguing that discussion surrounding these details are disingenuous or invalid will be moderated. Let's be respectful as this thread continues.
