Pretty excited?
Cyberpunk was always intended as a dire warning of the looming dystopian future.
And urge people to rebel to it. It literally has "punk" in its name.
It's a bit sad to see how it's been flipped on its head.
Clarification for those who don't know. Cyberpunk spun off of a bunch of genres that call themselves $name-punk but ironically ignore the -punk aspect and just replace $name for the name of the technology they replaced magic with in what's otherwise a fantasy story. (Including literally magic as technology.) Because cyberpunk was taken, the cyber version of $name-punk ended up being called post-cyberpunk instead of cyber-steampunk for whatever reason.
This does not negate the dire warnings of cyberpunk both as a genre and GITS itself.
This thread is about robot tanks built by the military-industral complex. Everything else is besides the point.
