The vast majority of the 2020 world find Cybernetics socially acceptable. I can't really think of a single reference in any of the books where someone was attacked because they had cyberware, (except when the aim was to steal it.)
If you think that way then you have no idea what cyberpunk is about. In cyberpunk there is only one driving force, survival. People don't hate each other.. Not because of those reasons anyhow.
I respectfully disagree, the point of Cyberpunk is that it's our world but in the future where stuff like this is possible. And things like Cybernetic controversy is entirely possible and very likely
Cybernetics are a commonplace in Cyberpunk. So there is little controversy about them. If you look at how famous people use cyberware in Cyberpunk, (Without Realskin or Trueskin) you can see a pattern. Cyberware are commonly used so no controversy about them. And it is not our world. Not our future.
You do realise that 2077 is based on an established setting called Cyberpunk 2020, formerly Cyberpunk 2013.
Not to support the OP, but there is the gang of religious whacakddoes called Inquisition who are violently anti-cyber...
I stand corrected. I don't suppose you know which source material they are mentioned in?
But as far as i remember thats a fairly small group of whackos.
Well, not really, you are still correct, as you said "vast majority" and those religious nut jobs are a fairly small group of people. They are not much more than a side note in Cyberpunk universe.
A pretty small group indeed, but I was merely correcting the poster I quoted, who said there was no mention of such things in the books at all. As I said, I was NOT supporting the OP's stance on the subject.
The largest bit sof information on the Inquisitors are the writeups in the Core book on page 228 and in the Night City Sourcebook, page 54. They are also mentioned at least twice in the random encounter tables of the core book.
I wasn't correcting you, i was stating a fact. I didn't want OP to think he is right.
This.
