A few times the topic of feminism and racism and sexism and various sexual phobia have come up ICly. I want to make a statement concerning this and answer any questions regarding it.
85 years in the future, these topics have been solved / eradicated / are not a thing. They haven't been a thing for a long time. They are not topics of daily conversation. They are not concerns most people will ever have.
Individual characters can be racist or sexist or some other thing, but society as a whole does not care about your gender or race or sexual preference. It will not effect your wage, it will not effect your treatment by the Law or your ability to get hired at a corporation.
The only thing that matters is the class divide. You are rich or you are poor. You are a corpie or you are a mixer. That's it.
References to modern day pop culture are not acceptable. References to modern day social issues are just as unacceptable. If someone is being racist in character, feel free to be confused and make them feel stupid while making fun of how little money they have. Classism is All.
These are important topics for our real lives but they do not belong in our futuristic cyberpunk world.
