    I liked Cyberpunk’s relationships. There’s a moment after rescuing Saul, where Panem and V are drinking and can flirt, Panem has her legs on top of V, V can run their hand up Panem’s thigh. If you’re masculine it leads to a kiss and falling asleep together, if you’re feminine it leads to a jarring shift in tone as Panem suddenly recoils realizing you’re not joking and then awkwardly tries to diffuse the situation.

    Even though it’s a scene of rejection, it feels like a real lesbian experience, with all the discomfort attached.
