Cyberpunk 2077 discussion boards are a sh*t storm right now after CDPR announced changes

I'm not grasping the situation completely yet, but as far as I gathered...

1. CDPR announced they are removing male/female slider buttons from the game for inclusion (apparently replaced with a slider or two for body/voice)
2. Forums went ablaze, people are disappointed more than pissed. As I can see, mostly on principle, and evoking "Bioware drowning in the same hole". Idea is that CDPR went "woke".
3. CDPR allegedly started deleting threads. Never a good sign, but no proof of this afaik.
4. People started refunding preorders. Some "proofs" were posted, not sure how massive this movement is.
5. Youtubers already jumping on the bandwagon of "Et tu, CDPR?"

If anyone is interested in the topic, plans to follow, you can update us, I don't think I'll care too much as it is. Still hoping the game ends up good, but honestly have more important things going on right now.
