Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't the genital selection the extent of Cyberpunk 2077s "trans inclusivity"?
Nobody asked for this. Please stop.
Some people do find that important tho. I think that it was worth given the cost. It barely impacted the final product (would be just as buggy on release as it was).
In games fluff like that is a few days of work of a single person. While in movies casting diverse instead of professional/adequate for the role changes everything.
Additionally in movies screen time is limited, so spending time on forced inclusivity usually takes away from plot.
Moreso that they went trans=genitals, which isn't actually trans representation so much as it is fetishizaton. Did they even talk to a trans person during the making of the game or did they just go to Pornhub? If they had a non-binary pronoun option that is actually a good thing though.
Wasn't your voice (possibly pre-patches) linked to your genitals in CP2077?
