## Summary

The video discusses the controversy surrounding the character Rebecca from *Cyberpunk: Edgerunners*, arguing that she is a 'loli' body type (short, flat adult woman) and that denying this is revisionist history and body shaming. The creator cites CD Projekt Red and Studio Trigger as confirming Rebecca is a loli, and criticizes the hypocrisy of outrage over loli characters but not over 'shota' (male equivalent) characters.

### Key Points

- **Foundation: Rebecca's Design Controversy** [0:00] — The creator states that CD Projekt Red initially wanted to remove Rebecca from the cast because 'lowies don't exist in Night City,' but Studio Trigger insisted 'the loli must stay.'
- **Confirmation from Developers** [1:12] — The creator claims that CD Projekt Red and Studio Trigger have confirmed Rebecca is a loli, and that this is being used to counter revisionist history.
- **Season 2 Announcement and Revisionism** [1:19] — With *Cyberpunk: Edgerunners* season 2 announced, the creator notes that people are trying to redefine Rebecca as 'petite' or 'short' rather than a loli, citing a post with 9K likes as an example.
- **Loli as a Body Type** [2:49] — The creator argues that 'loli' is a body type for short, flat adult women, and that denying this is body shaming. They give an example of a cosplayer who faced hate for cosplaying Tatsumaki (a loli character) despite being an adult.
- **Hypocrisy: Shota Character No Outrage** [4:02] — The creator points out that a 'shota' (male equivalent of loli) character was revealed for season 2 with zero outrage, calling it hypocritical and performative.
- **Widespread Revisionism** [5:45] — The creator states that this revisionism is not limited to Twitter but is seen on TikTok, Reddit, and YouTube, and that it amounts to body shaming of petite women.

### Conclusion

The creator concludes that the controversy is rooted in hypocrisy and body shaming, and hopes this video will put the debate to rest by citing the developers' confirmation.

## Transcript

Put on your hazmat suit because this
video is probably going to get very
toxic and I'm going to be upsetting
quite a few people with what I'm gonna
say in this video. I need to show this
clip before I even dive into today's
subject for this video because it's very
important to lay the foundation and
context to what I'm about to be
discussing. Um, I was one of the people
on the creative uh team to actually vote
Rebecca out of the original cast during
pre-production because what happened was
that CD Project Red first got the
character design for Rebecca and they
were like, "She's a lowly. Lowies don't
exist in Night City. It doesn't fit the
Cyberpunk 2077 aesthetic." Uh, but Sugar
was like, "No, the lowly must stay."
And, you know, ultimately, she's the
best girl. So, it was it was the right
choice because what happened was
>> well well well you heard it from CD
Project Red themselves. What the
creators of Cyberpunk themselves
literally said that turning Rebecca into
a lolli was the best choice because she
is best girl. You heard it from the
creators themselves. And Studio Trigger
literally told CD Project Red, "The
lolli must stay." That news article that
you see constantly presented when this
type of discussion appears is literally
straight up from the developers of CD
Project Red and Studio Trigger
themselves. So why this is important is
because CD Project Red and Studio
Trigger announced a season 2 of
Cyberpunk EdgeRunners and there is a lot
of information that's circulating right
now. But first off, there's a lot of
people that are doing the typical
revision of history or trying to
redefine the definition of what a lolli
actually is and also trying to say that
Rebecca as a character is straight up
not a lolli. For instance, this post in
particular, it has 9K likes on it. And
this individual basically is just
straight up saying that Rebecca is not a
loi whatsoever. And the reason for that
is because she is short. She is a short
character. she there was no intentions
of her being a lolly character. But also
we have another person that does
something very similar. You have Rebecca
is a petite woman from another
franchise. Do you think they will make
her model tall when she's a dwarf in
anime? Not to mention she's an adult.
And then you see the individual trying
to say like counter someone saying she's
a lolly and they say it's a petite
woman, not a kid. But yeah, you can't
differentiate that. Anyway, so this goes
to show the loops and hoops that so many
people will try to dive through to try
to say and revise history that Rebecca
is apparently not a lolly. And this
they're they're so close to getting it.
And it's so painful that they legit just
cannot admit that they are wrong. And
let let's just let's get right into this
because obviously this is a topic that
gets me in a lot of trouble constantly.
But I'm just going to say it because I
don't really care. Okay? If people want
to hate me for this, fine. But lolli is
a body type. It is like it's basically
for short flat women. And they exist.
Adult short flat women exist. There was
a cosplayer that cosplayed as Tatsumaki.
I'll probably put the image somewhere on
the screen here potentially and you can
see it for yourself. This is an adult
woman that cosplayed as Tatsumaki from
One Punch Man. And I'm going to just
straight up say Marata straight up says
that Tatsumaki is a lolly. She's an
adult, but obviously she has the body
type of a lolly. She's short and
everything. And basically, because of an
adult woman cosplaying as Tatsu Maki,
I'm not joking, she received
overwhelming amount of hate. I'm not
joking. For just her body type, because
that is her body type. She received
overwhelming amount of hate for a long
time and to this very day still receives
hate because of her cosplay. What I'm
trying to say is is that Loi is a body
type. Short, flat women exist. That's
that's the truth. And it is just
straight up body shaming. Honestly, it's
body shaming to pretty much say that a
woman cannot look like Rebecca or be
short and flat, so to speak. I feel like
it is just straight up it's body
shaming. Now, another thing, too, is is
the reason why this topic is heating up
is because Cyberpunk season 2 is coming
out and there was a lot of information
that was revealed. First off, we have a
Shoda character that is revealed. And go
figure, in typical fashion, there is no
drama around that. And like, okay, this
gets into hypocrisy that honestly I'm
just I'm going to dive head first into.
So, for those that don't know, Shoda is
the male equivalent of a lolly. And you
want to know what's so hypocritical
about this entire situation? There has
been next to zero outrage on the reveal
of this character that is a Shoda. And I
mean that's a good thing there's no
outrage, but it is very hypocritical
because the same individuals that
basically were saying Rebecca, you know,
is problematic, needs to be removed, and
you know, begging for censorship and now
is trying to revise history that
apparently she isn't a loi. They're not
doing any outrage with the Shoda
character. And you want to know why?
It's because it's performative and also
they don't really care about shas. They
don't. It's all about the loy thing.
It's the stigma around that term alone
that really matters and nothing else.
And it goes to show just the uh the
performative nature of all of this this
outrage that they pick and choose what
to be angry about. And it does they
don't really care. And once again, if
they really did care, obviously they
would put all this energy into actually
focusing on real criminals and victims
and stuff like that instead of pixels on
the screen. But anyways, the the point
here is is that we are in the stage of
revisionist history where they are
trying to revise history and say she is
not when you literally have the devs CD
Project Red and Studio Trigger just
straight up saying that she is a lolly.
So I just dude I don't know how this
conversation just keeps reappearing and
there's so many likes on these posts.
And honestly this doesn't just happen on
like Twitter. A lot of people like to
throw this aside and say it's just
Twitter that does these things, but no.
You see this all over Tik Tok. You see
this on Reddit. You see this even in
YouTube. You see it everywhere. You see
this conversation where people just
cannot accept body type. Flat short
women exist. And like I said, it's
wrong. And it's honestly body shaming. I
I willing to bet you if Rebecca was an
obese 500 lb woman, I'm willing to bet
you certain groups would be like, "Go
queen. Go Queen, you're amazing. Go
Queen, you're doing good. That's great.
That's a great body type." But soon as
it's a petite woman that's short,
nuh-uh, can't have that. That's bad.
That's weird. That's creepy. That's
problematic. And it's just like, ah,
yes. I guess petite short women can't
exist. Okay. So, yeah. Anyways,
all I'm saying is is we are really in
that stage right now. And we we could
just see the sheer hypocrisy because no
outrage to a show character now trying
to redefine what Rebecca is. And these
post just hopefully this video puts it
to rest. Hopefully, you know, anytime
someone tries to bring up this type of
conversation, they link them to my video
and this finally puts to rest this
entire conversation. But, uh, I will
leave it at that. If you enjoy my
content, please subscribe. It does help
me out a lot and I would greatly
appreciate it. May you all have a
fantastic day and stay tuned for my next
video upload either today or tomorrow.
Be safe, stay healthy. She be outs.
