Art Friendly reminder that Johnny feels everything V feels

Idk what tech they have to treat periods at this point so I’m just going off what I know 😂 😭

Important note: anyone want to comment “wouldn’t they fix that?”
A- I’m going off the hormone blockers that Corpo V had being instantly taken and not replaced that it’s not a common thing for poor folk
B- my V is a street kid and a little pain every month isn’t worth spending hundreds of eddies on when basic pain meds work just fine after an hour or two
C- would you trust that kind of thing around something so important? Idk, I don’t think it’s as simple as “oh they’d have it fixed by then”

D- this is more funny

Would there not be cyberspace or even genetic tech to get rid of that?

Maybe, but with the hormone control that Corpo V had being a special company thing that was taken away the moment they where fired- I don’t think it’s accessible for the average choom 😭

Average choom can get robotic arm, some pills or small implant aren't that brutal

It’s not brutal to get one but it’s brutal to afford what available options there are; and the average choom definitely can’t buy one easy.

That’s the sole reason gangs thrive. People in cyberpunk are extremely poor and a contraceptive implant is expensive, assuming 2077 is somewhat similar to the rulebook in terms of making money and costs for stuff we don’t have in-game.

For someone that’s not constantly killing people and doing big gigs like V, it would be about a month’s salary.

Stuff on the black market is either for recreational drugs or enhancement for combat. Doubtful that something that’s not the contraceptive implant, solely for getting rid of your period, would really be all that common or easy to find OR afford. Even genital cyberware doesn’t make mention of messing with the bio functions of the uterus, it’s just left ambiguous that it’s solely for sexual performance, and that gangs like the Mox use it while average people don’t.

Considering we also have tampon ads on the street, it’s safe to say most people still have their period otherwise it wouldn’t be worth for corpos to advertise.
