Well here's my thoughts.
I think this has allways been the intention since it fits very well in CP world. You will probably still be able to choose Male/female with body type and voice and probably body mods and so on ingame later. Gender in a world with cyber implants is probably a thing of the past in general..
I allways play RPGs as another character then who i am IRL since that's what i like about gaming. Gender and sexuality is a part of those choises you can have. I can be who ever i want. So i kinda like this "change" in that way. Player choice is important after all in a RPG. Tho i kinda agree with some ppl about having the choice "male/female/fluid?". Sexuality will probably not be a checkmark choice but how you interact with the NPCs. And that's fine, great even.
The thing i have a problem with is the way these "gaming" sites are gonna use this, as they already have. Since i haven't found a recording of this interview and cant hear the phrasing and so on i must assume whats reported is correct. The inclusive talk and so on. That feels like pandering. I don't like that. And i think most upset ppl is upset about that. If this was revealed in the live stream without much mention and talk about inclusivity i don't think it would be this much of a deal. Mentioning this kinda makes it a political issue, even if that was not the intention.
But i will keep a close eye on this. And the rest of the info we get before the launch. If i see CDPR adding stuff that don't fit to placate or say things that has nothing to do with it, i will probably cancel it...
Anyways, hope this doesn't break the no politics rule. Quite hard to know whats "politics" and what is not in this crazy world..
