Another example of ridiculous PC attitudes

[Deleted]

People are creating 'features' on an image in a game set in a dystopian 2077 that promotes a cola brand using a transgender female saying "Mix it up"




They are basically saying that it should conform to the issues of today instead of being a product of the world in which the artists are creating which to me is madness. There are absolutely tons of art and media that is futuristic and doesn't adhere to the present world.

Anything created today is based in the world of today. That's how science fiction has always worked. Saying something will be treated differently in the future is a comment on the present.

While I can see what you're saying I still think it's ridiculous that they are under fire for making a comment on state of advertisement, it's no different to others such as Blade Runner with the mass advertisements on the side of skyscrapers for brands such as Atari etc. the only difference here is that because it's got a transgender person in it, it's an issue. There would probably be an issue if it wasn't a transgender person as well as people would say why does it have to be a man/woman instead.
