This is a nice catch. I didn't even notice this until I saw this post. GJ!

I am perfectly fine with the ingame ad as it is. I just wanted to say that male bulges should be a thing too in the ingame advertising.
"look under your seat."
"You get a bulge! And you get a bulge! And you get a bulge! Everyone gets a bulge!"
Why is that a bad thing? Don't get me wrong, I think boycotting the game for this reason is stupid, but a person should be able to have that prerogative, and the freedom to talk about it.
Say what you want about Steam forums, but at least you can discuss most things there.
What? The bulge in question isn't 'bulgy' enough for you? Exactly how much man-bulge are you craving?!

No; all kinds of ads. Otherwise it seems that this one was done mainly for the shock factor.
... I don't know if its possible to have a meaningful conversation about this stuff.
It is tough.
I don't think it was done so much for shock factor. It wasn't immediately apparent, it's on a bunch of ads across the city. I think it was inevitable that someone would spot it and the Nvidia ad just made it happen. But it's already been spotted in other places.
I think it's more about "Our World But Different" and "Everything Is For Sale" than shock factor.
Yeah. To me, this stuff is just the norm in the Cyberpunk universe. It's not shock factor if it's literally everywhere.
How can you make a believable alternate reality future if it's just the same as our world, but cybered up? Our modern fears, prejudices, concerns, desires, are not necessarily the same as they are in 2077 or even 2020. Pretty funky idea for our modern brains to handle, but it's neat.
Interesting to hear. Thank you for your unique perspective (no, that's not sarcasm).
Actually, let's ask the really important questions.
I wonder where the girl is actually from.
Maybe Bulgearia?

You just described every since corporations first became corporations.
Corporate "ethics" are dictated by government regulations and market trends.
The goal of a for-profit corporation is profit.
Everyone is disposable in a corporate setting.
I understand the desire to romanticize the game, but the story has been told multiple times, but in fiction and real life. It's just the cool setting that changes.
I knew this would come up when I posted.
1. Let's avoid IRL politics as much as possible. Today does not see armed enforcement teams zeroing homeless with autoshotguns in NorCal. This is fiction, a dark fiction.
2. The Dark Future, it's much much worse. Yes, it can get much worse. In 2077, the elements we see today are exaggerated and darkened. Police in your city are corrupted, governments are utterly irrelevant ( and owned) and the Corps control all. That is not (typically) the case today but it is the case in 2077.
Yeah, I was just joking with you
I think the artist mentioned that we will see all body types being used in ads, since corporations will exploit absolutely everything to its maximum potential. I don't think ads will focus on any one group as far as I can tell; indeed, that would be boring and senseless.
For the vast majority of people it will.
But there are those who focus their lives on being offended, all you can do is ignore them (as best you can).
I didn't exactly bring real life politics to the conversation... I am merely pointing out where corporate "ethics" come from. Be sure that, if there isn't a law against it, or a negative market reaction to it, corporations will do anything for profit.
Sure, we don't see armed enforcement teams executing the homeless with shotguns in NorCal (that's very specific) but there are plenty of atrocities happening around the world, governments gassing ethnic groups, executing homosexuals, etc... maybe not in NorCal (well, the gas used there is not lethal) but even in NorCal there is police abuse.
Police corruption exists today, in my city, in your city, in everyone's city. Government corruption exists today. Especially in the U.S., corporations and special interest groups have great influence in laws enacted.
He fixed that in a video "Oopsie In Anger Over Cyberpunk 2077 (My Punishment)". Sometimes people makes mistakes. None of us are perfect. At least he's holding himself accountable.

Perhaps they should make a few adds in the game with camel toes too.
Well, the artist did say this:
So, I'm pretty sure we'll see quite a few of those.
It most likely will be. See the aforementioned quote from the artist.
I saw that. Good on him. I very much like Outstar, and understood where she was coming from after some thought. He was in the wrong on that one.
But that's unrelated to what's going on here, of course. I don't believe Outstar has commented on the "bulge" situation, nor has Jeremy.

What my - in my own opinion - logical mind cannot fathom is:
How can inclusion of something make you phobic of what it represents? Shouldn't it be the other way around? You include something so you're not afraid of it? I honestly don't understand people's thought processes at all.
