Here's an interesting discussion from r/debatealtright earlier in the year about this game and shows that are similar to it:

Yeah the subversion has been going on for awhile. Just watched the recent new episode of Westworld. It's fucking maximum globo-homo:

  • all of the bad guys are white men.
  • All but one of the protagonists are PoC's or female.
  • The opening investor bad guy is overtly German

Also featuring:

  • Techno-dystopian future
  • Rampant degeneracy and drugs
  • Trans-humanist technology
  • Robots referred to as "gods" ready to "take their revenge."
  • Globohomo is a transhumanist death cult.

Globohomo is a transhumanist death cult.

Absolutely right, though "transhumanism" implies that there will be something "human" left after technology erases all culture, traditions, nations, struggles, needs, wants or goals. Eventually, what use will there be in maintaining the "production of human flesh" for all those "backward reactionaries" who wish to have their online thought complex and consumption tokens associated with a physical body?

The "robots-as-oppressed-minorities" trope is already alive in shows like this and in video games like "Detroit: Become Human". Most people have no idea how dangerous this is, and they need to wake up.

This is what gets me about cyberpunk shows: They explore very real, fascinating, and important questions regarding science and technology, but they're all written by Leftists or created to be Elite propaganda.

Caprica is so close to being a perfect show exploring transhumanism, but it's polluted by Leftist idealogy. The first episode has this brilliant conversation between a scientist who "resurrected" his deceased daughter into a virtual world and the a man who believes that is morally wrong. I don't think I've ever seen a more engaging moral and philosophical discussion on television. But the rest of the show depicts "group marriages" and homosexuality and other degeneracy as the norm and good.

I searched a bunch for that scene, but there is so little of this show on YouTube. Here's a similar moment, but it doesn't go as deep nor as engaging as the scene I mentioned: It's the scientist interacting with his resurrected daughter: https://youtu.be/cgt5KkXALDY

Exactly how I feel as well. They often depict the transhumanist future with robots fighting for their right to be treated as "equals" and show the nasty evil white men treating the robots with contempt or indifference, using them as slaves.

For those paying attention, this provides an interesting insight into the leftist worldview. Even when a being is multiple times more intelligent, with super-strength and super-speed and perfect memory, as robots typically are, leftists still will insist that these beings are deserving of "equal rights". Their commitment to egalitarianism and replacism is so strong, so overarching, that not only do they have no loyalty to their family, their community, their nation or their race, but they don't even have an ounce of loyalty to mankind itself.

If you want some good reading on a time when Leftists were handed a great cyberpunk setting to discuss transhumanism and instead turned it into an obvious race politics metaphor: https://www.shamusyoung.com/twentysidedtale/?p=33885

They keep doing this to such an otherwise fascinating issue.
