now that i’ve played a bit of cyberpunk 2077 it's like. goddamn. polygon's cyberpunk red game was REALLY GOOD bc jenna GETS it, you know? because she just knows so much about cyberpunk, what it's supposed to be about. it's a dystopia, but it's a dystopia where people can still make decisions and do what they want to. and it makes perfect sense to introduce a character who runs a non-profit service helping people get clean! addiction is a major affliction built into the mechanics of most cyberpunk games; it's an ingenious way to acknowledge that while also acknowledging that at their core, a lot of people are good people and want to help. not to mention it's a great way to acknowledge that side of the cyberpunk genre while maintaining the more lighthearted tone that polygon goes for.

and the way she builds the whole thing is really ingenious. like, hypo's clinic is not entirely unproblematic! he keeps it running by blackmailing a guy who gets him stolen goods from trauma team! but even that is more multifaceted - because trauma team is so deeply problematic as an institution, and then you realize that mat pack is dead and actually a DIFFERENT warehouse worker has been purposefully stealing from trauma team because they feel that they owe hypo for his altruism even though he doesn't even have any idea; it's such a neat combination of morally grey wrongdoing and faith in the fundamental kindness of humanity. maybe this means i'm not a True Cyberpunk Fan but i like an interpretation of the genre that highlights the hope and kindness in a really messy and dangerous world.

i am very fond of the vang0 bang0 trans headcanon but u know what’s funnier??

him waking up in a warehouse and not remembering anything. except there are 2 big ass scars on his torso. and since he forgot abt pretty much the whole world, he also forgot about the concept of trans ppl (and like, gender in general, but this would be a complicated concept to really comprehend as fully socialized individuals bc gender is a very big part of society and we can’t just imagine living without the norms it created, ANYWAY). so he just thinks, 'yo, i got wounded pretty bad in the past lol'

and he learns how to live in society again and thinks he’s just like any other man. which he kinda is. he tells everyone he’s kind of a warrior bc of his scars and even though everyone knows they’re top surgery scars, they think he’s joking and never actually tell him off.

when he tries to find his past, he only finds traces of a woman who looks a lot like him. so he thinks it’s his twin sister, and when he tries to look for her, she hasn’t given any signs of life since a few years before he woke up in a warehouse. then, his theory is that she died in a fight with a gang or some sort of criminal organization, and that he got those scars by trying to defend her. it made him a bit sad, but he was glad his past self was brave enough to try and fight. he wished he was that brave now.

but everything stops when someone in the streets seems to recognize him and calls him by his deceased sister’s name. vang0 is about to ask them about her, and everything that has happened before the warehouse, but burger shoves a fist in their face before he can try. dapper is incredibly angry too, and it takes vang0 a few rounds of vehement insults before he starts to understand. he didn’t get the scars from a fight, at least not a physical one. and he never had a twin sister.

when he asks burger and dapper about it, they say they thought he knew he was trans and that asking him about it would be disrespectful.

the intrusive voice in the back of my head: you could be vang0 bang0 for halloween
