apparently there’s also mokos in cyberpunk 2077 which. sucks

a maori person posted a single screenshot about there being misappropriation of ta moko in the game and it got taken down for copyright.

here’s the screenshot that was taken down:

(image id: a person with red eyes, long pale green hair that has been shaved on one side, and multiple earrings. they have a tattoo covering their chin and lips, designed to look like the placement of facial mokos traditionally for women. end id)

to explain why i’m upset, ta moko is the process of a maori person tattooing another maori person, each line identifies your whakapapa (heritage for lack of a better word, it can’t really be translated into a single english word). the process is very tapu (sacred) and personal so just taking a random design and slapping it onto a character uh. sucks! it sucks.

i know everyone is rightfully talking about how terrible the epilepsy trigger is but i haven’t really seen anyone talk about this, please keep this in mind
