After being in the cyberpunk fandom since the game’s early days I thought I’d seen it all. Then somehow I land on cyberpunk TikTok with all of the new fans and they have the most nonsensical, ridiculous, small-brained takes of all time

Actually reminded me why I left twitter because good god

And I understand being new to a fandom and not having all the information yet but it’s like some of them played the game with their eyes closed, rejecting anything that was not surface level???

Then also realizing that people are sitting here telling each other “well actually this is in the tabletop version so [xyz] is canon” and it made me wonder, are there actually this many people in the fandom who think that the tabletop lore is synonymous with the game lore? Because frankly there are WAY too many contradictions for that to be true. The tabletop and the video game exist separately in my opinion — though I don’t even think that’s my opinion??? Like I’m pretty sure that’s the reality of the situation

Smoke and Retribution

V's a relatively new face in the Night City music scene. When she signed a record deal with a label owned by Arasaka three years ago, she had no idea what it would cost her. With two years left in her five-year contract, she begins to uncover Arasaka's nefarious motives hidden behind the face of Hikaru Records.

Johnny Silverhand's been coasting through his music career since 2013, motivation fizzled out after the loss of his output, Alt. Finally working on new music, he crosses paths with screamsheet bait V in the studio. Their chance meeting changes the trajectory of each other's lives.

V's also a rockstar during Johnny's time AU

Fandoms have a serious problem with how creators are being treated these days.

Fandom creators spend hours of their free time to create something to make fandom thrive...for free and for the love of the game.

And what do they get? A wholeass heap of fuck all. No reblogs, no comments, no nothing. And people are surprised that creators are dropping out left, right, and centre??

"Why is there no long fic anymore?" "Why did my favourite writer stop?" "Why is my favourite artist not posting anymore?"

I implore you to ask yourself: "What's the last thing I did to support my fandom? Does my favourite creator know they are my favourite? When was the last time I left a comment under something?"
