Going to be in the minority here and saw that I actually would.
(just Googled her and found out she's 5'10...! Wow!)

According to some, just "because".
And if you criticize you gonna receive a generic "you still would bang her" message.
Comparing her to real celebrities like Keanu Reeves is just how low people can get.

I hope these e-celeb inserts hold legendary weapons/items; because I won't feel bad about killing them and taking their shit.

She's literally not that of an important character to begin with. I still don't understand why they're so invested in her? I mean there's plenty of other people in the industry that offers way more. But eh, that's just my two cents.

I would guess real celebrities women might not be interested on appearing in games. Or maybe they choose her with a purpose.

You have to scare her pretty good before doing that tho.
And there it is.
Not everyone here is a fan of Ms. Pearce. The crying and whining by some posters here over how "mean" GAF is when it relates to anyone in this industry is getting tiresome. This is not a e-celeb fansite. You shouldn't expect people to grovel to your favorite studio, streamer or youtuber. You're going to get a mix of opinions, some good some bad. Some detailed, some silly stupid and hopefully funny.
Why is the assumption that I have to be excited this chick or Jesse Cox or any other stupid youtuber is in the game?
Everytime there is a thread, especially that involves a woman,we can expect a typical parade of Karen's and bad faith posters to swarm in like locust and warn us how we are making GAF "look bad", because we aren't kissing the appropriate amount of ass.
Does she have an onlyfans?
Edit: Did some research. She does.
I guess that's good news for guys here slobbering over her tits

There's what? That I'm more knowledgeable and exposed to her content than you and half the people on here, and that maybe you should actually do some real research on her before making assumptions?
Case in point:

Oh you mean this? Where she obviously created an account in jest?
Good one bro.
you're a fan. Good for you. Throw her some more dollars.
I'm not. I'm not going to pretend I am or pretend that I'm excited about her ugly avatar in this game.
it's an empty account? I thought there was nothing there because I'm not a member or whatever.Case in point:

Good one bro.
Anyway she made an account on a porn site. Much hilarity. This is that high class Alannah Pearce humour that she cyberpunk clearly needed.
YASSSS QUEEEENNNN SLAYYY

I'm not under the obligation to be excited.
In the exact same way one is allowed to enjoy her content and online persona and welcome her presence in the game, one is likewise also allowed to be indifferent or displeased. Any suggestion the former is dictated by some impartial open-mindedness and the latter by resentful ignorance or envy of her work would need to be backed up by evidence.
These Youtubers, bless them, turned NPCs in the game do nothing for me. But since both parties wanted this to happen, more power to CDPR and celebrities. If I were one of the chosen ones, I'd certainly rejoice. There's worse than getting paid. But my point-of-view is not that of the celebrity who just secured more exposure and whose bank account just got fatter but that of the gamer who was already concerned about the seemingly shaky condition of the voice acting in Cyberpunk 2077, even before the decision was made to hand minor parts to enthusiastic amateurs.
More importantly, I'd like to comment on Alannah's following tweet regarding the situation:
The usual unproven unsubstantiated suggestion of sexism hangs in the air here. First off, she misrepresents the tweet, which specifically mentions "gaming personality" as a possible reason for her getting the part, not just being "attractive" .
The implication is that getting the part simply because of her looks is somehow a burden, a moral blemish. Goodness, no, Alannah. Beauty is a virtue. And surely, she agrees, otherwise why would she post those full-body selfies? Why does she think CDPR picked her? I'll be keeping my ears pricked for her VA delivery, that's for sure.
The other implication is that sexism is at play when it's claimed she got the part because she's attractive but nothing of the sort is said about Jesse Cox. Well, could it be because most people would not think of Jesse as an attractive young man and therefore the thought never occurs to them? It just so happens Jesse has 970 000 subscribers on YouTube, twice as many as Alannah.
In what way does suggesting she got the part because she's attractive imply women are inherently inferior to men?

I would like to add the immediate leap to running to twitter to post her "victimhood" is also off-putting, but also incredibly predictable.
My god the trials and tribulations of an attractive white woman in the modern game industry is unparalled.

there are pluses and negatives to forums like this one that allow a lot of leeway. On the plus side, you can post dumb, goofy, funny shit without fear of getting banned even if you aren't attacking anyone (*ahem.*)
On the other hand, you have a lot of people here who hate women, who will do their best to justify or minimize this, and will gang up an anyone who opposes that. You have people who go out of their way to be offended by SJWs or liberals or whatever. The posters who get the most shoutouts nowadays are not actually nice, clever, or funny people, mostly just bitterly sarcastic with no off button.
You take the good and the bad i suppose. I'll say the gaming side is much more balanced, generally speaking.

Agreed.
I would like for those who think the line has been crossed on multiple occasions around here to detail what they would like to happen to offending posts and members.
Bans?
Interesting claim.
You're not just claiming that tasteless remarks have been made, no, you're not just claiming that some people have expressed extreme dissatisfaction with Alannah's presence in the game or even gaming career, no, you're not even just suggesting the envious derision has targeted entire groups of women, such as female YouTube celebrities. No, you are in fact saying many people here have expressed unmitigated hate for all women, i.e., misogyny.
That's a rather tall order.
Not a small number of examples is required to establish that.
Interesting.
The term Gang Up suggests a coordinated attack.
So this thread is not merely the result of an open discussion, with its inevitable mixed bag of replies, but in fact an orchestrated misogynistic campaign.
Please provide evidence.
Possibly.
The answer that seems impossible to get from people with the above quoted view is what should be done about it. What should moderation do about it that is not accomplished, say, by you calling out these members, specifically and personally, as opposed to vaguely and indiscriminately?
More balanced than what?
The politics section?
What's stopping you or anyone from posting there and making it more balanced? Years and years of seclusion away from any form of real substantive debate?
Could it be that people who go there with limited debating skills experience the kind of intellectual beating only facts and good arguments can inflict and quickly learn to redirect their enthusiasm elsewhere?
And whose fault would that be?

If one is going to model someone at least be as accurate as possible.
Personally I'd be offended if they missed the mark that far.
Especially is someone else is on point. like wtf

I lost a bit of respect for cdpr with this move.
But imma play this on a pc so hopefully there will be a mod to remove this bitch from my game.

Thank you for taking the time to actually reply.
My main reasoning for not seeing this as a big deal is precisely because of the Keanu situation. Over the past several years, it has become apparent that it is easier than ever to scan and implement character models from real life people. The new Resident Evil games, for example, take the likeness of their characters from living models - Alanah even said herself she only had to send in pictures for her likeness to be utilized. Is this a process that takes zero time or development processes? Absolutely not, but I'd also bet that they're not delaying the game to include additional likenesses. I do know that Alanah has mentioned being on a first name basis with Troy Baker, an undeniable titan of the voice acting industry, so it's not like she doesn't have connections to the industry and like this is completely out of the blue. It's definitely a different situation, but Rockstar has had guest voices on their games, including Geoff Ramsey from Rooster Teeth (the parent company of Funhaus). Rooster Teeth in general has been included in a lot of development processes - James Willems of Funhaus is a notorious fan of Psychonauts and has a small role in Psychonauts 2. There are other examples, and a lot of them are from smaller games. Personally, while I don't think it is absolutely necessary to go around adding guest appearances to games, it definitely has been around and I don't see it as anything that has hampered any experiences. Look through her channel, even if you don't want to watch her videos - she has several videos of Cyberpunk 2077 hype. She's been involved in the hype machine for the game. It makes sense that they would include her. Alanah's character is likely completely optional side content (she mentions in her video that it is ONE quest - the character is not Alanah, the model is just based on her likeness), and her inclusion is not something out of nowhere for her or for CDPR.
In many of the games I've played where there have been small cameos, oftentimes I don't even notice the cameo, especially if it is of a person I have no idea of. I also have recently begun replaying Death Stranding and there's a ton of likenesses in that game, and they do not draw me out of it. I even enjoyed Kojima's self inclusion in Death Stranding (definitely moreso than his in Ground Zeroes, though I also thought that was fun). That's my approach to cameos, and it definitely differs from yours. On that, I can respectfully agree to disagree.
The only reason I'm even really aware of Alanah is because of Funhaus, as I previously mentioned. I don't know anything about other likenesses added to the game beyond Keanu. Who cares if it's a "Who?" moment to people hearing about her inclusion (or the inclusion of any other characters). A lot of cameos are that way, and cameos are a part of the film and television industries already. It makes sense that in an industry that requires performances that cameos would exist. And I'm seeing a lot less discussion in this thread about the merits of 2077 as a video game and more about what the inclusion of this internet persona means for the writing quality and the agenda of CDPR. If your stance is that you don't like the cameos, that's absolutely fine, I have no problem with that, but by and large in this thread the argument isn't about being against cameos, but more about how specifically Alanah's inclusion is going to negatively impact the game.

100% agreed.
For the past 4 days, my YouTube feed has been littered with influencers/corporate nuthuggers showing off dummy units of the XSS and XSX. While I fully understand that Microsoft doesn't want Major Nelson/an older employee to show off their consoles, there's nothing more offputting than watching grown ass men and women suck dick for likes and subscribes.

Then go if you don't like it. I'm tired of "infuencers" thinking they really matter what they do. No one gives a shit about her coming about, being lesbian, washing her pussy every day or whatever else. She thinks she's some kind of elite. No one gives a shit.

Your head.
I think Alanah is the worst kind of cancel culture benefiting, "I wrote for IGN so I have authority,", "I will instantly shill for any company that gives me free shit," type of pseudo e-celeb there is. I made that point a few times already, but DESPITE ALL MY RAGE, I AM STILL JUST A RAT IN A CAGE, or whatever.
I don't wanna go. You guys are my safe space. D :

Bullshit fake news. This is about as real as Cyberpunk having a minimum system requrirement of a gtx 780-oohh boy.
It's real. She in the game. And honestly, the overall minimum specs and recommended specs aren't that bad. A 4790 and a 1060 with 12GB (Wait huh?) of ram is cheap.
Though I think recommended system requrements are for around 1080p 60 fps with a mix of low + med + high and limited post processing I am guessing these days in general? I don't think there's ever been a real set performance target with the listed recommended specs all shooting for the same performance. or graphics settings.

That's why I qualified my post with two prefixes. YouTube and Twitch may as well be Hollywood to certain groups of people (not condemning that, either, I've watched about ten movies and two television series in the last decade) but the relative accessibility and approachable "they're just like us!" qualities make online personalities super hip to younger crowds.

I honestly find them super cringey. This new trend of twitter "celebs". Ugh. Especially cancel culture SJWs.
