   when people were imagining the future's urban californian dystopia they imagined a cool setting like blade runner. the reality is cracked pavement, trash, and homeless ppl shitting everywhere. downtown san francisco rn:

     >tfw you're a cyberpunk fan and realize in all likelihood you wouldn't be living like the protagonist of the story but like one of the billions of people that is living a life significantly worse than that of a medieval peasant from which there is no escape.

     @Hoss the fictional version focused on the cool parts but the irl version simply has no cool parts

     The Blade Runner setting just focused on the cool, gritty, and sexy cyberpunk elements and not so much on the cracked pavement, trash, and homeless people shitting everywhere. Cyberpunk fans forget that cyberpunk settings by definition are not places that are healthy for most of its inhabitants to be, nor is it a place they enjoy living in.
