      Altered carbon is cyberpunk for people who really don't want any queerness in their cyberpunk.

      gender swapping! but not in a way that makes you think about gender swapping! it's kind of impressive how they take this really provocative concept and then do as little as possible with it.

      yeah, from what i remember of watching the show, the resleeving process is fundamentally approached as a "terrible deviation from nature," i.e. a basically conservative viewpoint

      even that gives it too much credit I think. They don't even acknowledge the queer possibilities that would make reactionaries opposed the sleeving process. It's really used just as a plot gimmick.

      yes, in-universe there are christian conservatives who regard it that way but i meant that the show itself actually views it that way, with resleeving almost invariably seen as this hideous torture than dehumanizes everyone involved

      there's one sequence that really stuck with me, with a husband and wife fighting each other to the death in an arena but the thing is, if they fight well, they don't really die, they get rewarded with even better bodies and the show just regards this as a Moral Abomination

      which is a fundamentally conservative approach -- the question of consent doesn't matter, nor autonomy, nor choice within a constrained system rather, it's just Unnatural that a husband and wife should fight like that and they're Depraved for engaging in that activity

      This is just a general thing about science fiction, including cyberpunk, that it's just as often about invoking fear and disgust at the possibility of Things Man Was Not Meant to Know as it is optimism and curiosity

      Really you could argue "cautionary tale" science fiction has always dominated the genre in one firm or another and is generally more influential than "gee whiz wouldn't it be cool" science fiction

          I feel the idea of it is also influential in itself; as in, people will happily assume anything that makes them uncomfortable is also Cautionary Tale Fiction

          Keep running into people going “Ah, obviously these characters are suffering their deserved comeuppance” and having to squint and go “…I mean they didn’t get rescued from the plot by the hand of Good and I like that in a chain of cause and effect but what.”

          hell, turns out i actually wrote a blog post about this back when the show was on about what it would have meant for altered carbon to explore resleeving from a socioeconomic perspective https://www.sjshancoxli.com/single-post/2018/02/12/Altered-Carbon-part-1-violence-and-class …pic.twitter.com/ZPLsGTcXuf
