“First off, “did they consult any sex workers to begin with?” Because using this as a premise to talk about sex work is incredibly sensationalist,” Valens said. Valens said that, upon seeing the tweet, she immediately had questions about just what dangers sex workers would be facing in Cyberpunk 2077, and were sex workers consulted to really round out that particular issue.
(Disclosure: Valens has previously written for Fanbyte.) I just have zero faith in them,” said Ana Valens, an NSFW reporter at Daily Dot who also does online sex work. “I utterly don’t think CDPR could ever handle this well, period. If Cyberpunk 2077 wants to explore the dangers of sex work and create an entire faction around protecting people who are just trying to make that particular living, that seems like a really interesting way to bring light to an issue within the confines of its universe.īut has Cyberpunk 2077 done anything to make us believe it will handle it with any level of care? In theory, that sounds like a pretty interesting concept. This is the correct draft.)įormed in 2076 after the death of Elizabeth “Lizzie” Borden, a strip club owner & ex-prostitute who treated her workers fairly and defended them from violent clients, The Mox refer to themselves as “those who protect working girls and guys” from violence and abuse. (Editor’s Note: This piece was briefly replaced with an unfinished version, but has since been restored. This is all done in tribute to a character named Elizabeth Borden, who owned a strip club and did sex work in life. This group is called The Mox, and their mission statement is to “protect working girls and guys” from abuse at the hands of their clients, or maybe even their employers. But given what I’ve seen of the game and its handling of various subject matter, whether that be suicide, portraying Latino stereotypes, or the now-infamous ad portraying what appears to be a feminine-presenting character with an erection, it’s not a game I have any faith in to do right by pretty much any issue it decides to depict in its world.īut today, developer CD Projekt RED posted a tweet on the game’s official Twitter account teasing a new faction in the game’s universe. Cyberpunk 2077 is still a long ways out, as the game was delayed into September, and given the state of game releases right now it could very well see another delay in the coming months.
