Hmm, I guess I didn't see that in the video, maybe I viewed it differently? Robots were making human food, which seems whimsical to me, and makes me wonder why would something (maybe autonomous) want to do that. I am not sure simply using an Asian setting and neon lights makes something cyberpunk, but maybe the artist did intend it that way.
This part from my comment is just my perspective, not me defining:
> That said, I also find it disheartening that cyberpunk is often imagined as dystopian or hypersexualized, that's all very trite tbh.
I find this characteristic about the genre boring and unnecessary as I think it's reflective of the views and relationships of the various authors to technology and its effects.
- em-bee 3y agoit may be boring and unnecessary but being dystopian is an integral part of what cyberpunk is. you may want to take a look at solarpunk as an alternative that is distinctively not dystopian: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31325956 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31325956
