Why are there cyberpunk people that aren’t anti-capitalism? Did y’all like space on the whole underlying theme of cyberpunk?
I think most modern cyberpunk people like it *because* of the rampant industrialization and limitations of personal freedoms that lead to neat shiny technology and don’t focus on the actual implications anymore
it’s the same kind of material fetishism you see from nerds who like gundam and warhammer 40k and shit. they just miss the point completely being made because the technology looks cool/blows shit up.
Where’s that comic?
Maybe people can like a certain aesthetic independent of any sort of these social structures. Cyberpunk can exist capitalistically, communistically, or within whatever sort of economic system you can come up with. It is literally all made up. Distopian and Utopian settings can absolutely be orthogonal to the cyberpunk aesthetic; it would be a fallacy to bind the cyberpunk aesthetic to a particular economic or social structure. Of course there are correlations, but that doesn’t mean that there are really any deep causal relationships here. The same goes with other literary genres. Sometimes things don’t have to exist holistically.
it turns out that when disney allowed donald duck and goofy to be sora’s companions in kingdom hearts, they only allowed it as long as neither character was ever shown wielding a sword, which is why they have a staff and a shield respectively… but honestly disney… let donald have knife you close minded bastards…. he was in the navy he knows the fragility of life let him defend himself with his own hands instead of some bitch ass magic wand
ok wait but what about mickey mouse. mickey mouse has a keyblade. is this some kind of like. is he the only one allowed a sword so that the others may not usurp him
disney has no control over mickey tbh. he goes where he wants and does what he pleases. they dont own him. he owns them
mickey did not want donald and goofy to have a sword because it would begin the prophecy in which pete gets shot with a mistletoe arrow and dies and thus ragnarok gets kickstarted
