What a sad bunch of crybabies. How does these people survive in the real world at all? It's ridiculous that CDPR has to apologize for this.

It's crazy. Fortunately seems to be more of an "internet thing". People in real life don't behave like that.

Yep, since you're dealing with some of the most unforgivable people the world has to offer. They don't want a sincere apology, they want you to submit to them.

Waypoint should put their money where their mouth is and boycott all Cyberpunk coverage. It's the Austin Walker thing to do, but he's far too disingenuous to sacrifice the clicks.

gezus christ.. Even I get that joke and I could have made the same thing. Its such a shame that there is such a tiny minority who are bitching about the littlest things nowdays..

I'd be willing to bet that even if all mainstream media boycotted Cyberpunk and didn't write about it at all, it wouldn't have any problem selling just as many copies (probably more) as TW3.

I'm actually curious as to what helped the Witcher 3 more. Positive word of mouth from people that played it, or the positive reviews.

"Did you just assume my gender?" is exactly the sort of humor that should be allowed right now. The phrase itself has become so comical, so misplaced, so childish, so arrogant, that it has become a joke. No surprise that a non-USA company would stumble into a joke that zealots in the USA consider offensive.

You think they act like this off line, without the safety of sitting behind a keyboard? It's a bunch of frauds trying to 'out outrage' each other. Pathetic.

I'm glad this kind of "triggering" hasn't come here to Europe yet. We have have liberals making jokes like this and appreciating political incorrectness 
Also, if I post this on the other side I get banned. Either submit or get banned.

I honestly didn't know people found this 'joke' offensive. Well, offensive enough that the Twitter brigade would be preying for blood.

These morons have lost their mind a long time ago and should be banned off the internet so they stop with their hate campaigns. At least they provide comedy.

Yeah, I got a warning on Resetera the other day because in the thread about the Filip Miucin plagiarism I joked that he should move to China. Today I got banned for three days because in a thread about Niki Minaj that started to fixate on her butt I made the horrible comment " I'd smack that. " I... don't really feel at home at that forum. I know it's not 9gag, but "No fun allowed" seems to be the Prime Directive there now.

Everything is potentially damaging to someone's feelings. I'm quite sure there are some trans activists who would say that the very existence of this joke is an affront to the humanity of trans people, that is is hate speech intended to dehumanize them, and that it is therefore harmful to their well being and should be restricted in some way (if not by law, then by being judged/shamed in the court of public opinion, ideally losing your sources of income until the correct opinions have been absorbed, accepted, and regurgitated.)
I'd just tell them to lighten up and move on with their day, but that's what makes me an evil alt-right fascist I guess.

Interestingly it is the SJWs that want to determine what you can and can't say, what you can and can't think. Who are the fascists again?

You can't say shit these days planet full of pussies. Walking on eggshells every day. They made Witcher 3 they could take a shit in my front room and I'd still buy the game. It's a joke look up the definition you might learn something. Whatever happened to sticks and stones isn't that what you teach kids

What in God's name is a gender slider? Lol!
So instead of choosing between graphics or frame rate they'd like to choose between male/female or blend the 2?
Hilarious.
Depends who you are. If you share this radical ideology you certainly will be offended and "harmed" by it. If you do not you mostly do not care Trans or not.
No they are cowards. You do not give into terroristic demands and you do not do it with the PC Police or they will get you the next time as well because it was so fucking easy.

Remember! ResetEra is an offensive term. They prefer to be called perpetual offended.

If I'm not mistaken, I think he's suggesting sociopaths use the term SJW to demean those who demonstrate empathy.
He's an odd chap is our John. He seems to lurch from one position to the next. He might have been having a bad day; shelling out on his ninth divorce.
What does him being divorced have anything to do with that tweet?

Absolutely nothing whatsoever. I was being daft. That said, most of the time Cleese is on TV he's like King Lear on the moor, ranting about how much money he owes to appease his former maidens.

There's usually nothing really transphobic about alleged transphobic tweets, jokes, etc. Or racist, or sexist.

Apparently it was in in saints row but yeah I dont get it. I mean if you're character creator is competent you should be able to make a butch chick or girly man without much trouble anyway. I think the crux of it was that your character can only be Male or Female. Oh the horror.
You called?
Also laughing my ass off at "cis able-bodied"
I can almost guarantee that neither of these people have ever contributed to the world in anything approaching a positive way.

They AREN'T cowards. It cost $0 and nothing emotionally to say "our bad we didn't mean to offend" and then they just move on. It cost nothing! Nobody is hurt by saying "our bad" and taking the post down.
AGain do you give into terrorists demand? I do not. People take this free speech and anti PC culture pretty seriously now they have way more outrage because they did this. It was a stupid decision to do this because now they have outraged the people who actually would have bought the game. So yes it costs sales

Um... Some trans people don't survive, and that's kind of the fuckin problem with dismissing their existence through hyperbolic joke caricatures. How about you get some goddamned empathy?

The meme has nothingto do with trans people....
It is mocking modern feminism and SJW.
Mocking exactly what about "SJW"?
Quit being fucking dense you know exactly what it's mocking. It's intentionally turning "SJW" (i.e. trans people and those that care about them) into a hyperbolic caricature in order to laugh at them and make them the butt of a joke because they have the fucking audacity to ask that they be properly addressed by who they are. It's not funny. It's offensive.

Agreed. It's the PR-friendly move. I'm sure there were plenty of publications ready to press that hot take button if CDPR didn't delete the tweet.
I would've loved to see them tell SJW to stick it up their arse but that was never going to happen. I'm more annoyed that someone probably got at least a scolding for the world's most non-issue

The people complaining about this tweet probably were not going to buy the game anyway.
And it was not even a heavy joke.
Sometimes i feel that people don't know how jokes work.

Oh god this site has become an embarrassment.
Ok lol
so you think the people who liked the tweet are now going to cost them sales since they removed it, but you don't think that the people who were offended by the tweet were going cost them sales if they kept it up?
Ok lol
Yeah, those that think we shouldn't joke around about the humanity and dignity of our fellow humans are totally terrorists.
Get a fucking grip man.
