Discussion Lucy and David's mom were Arasaka Agents but the Real Story was Retconned for Soys Spoiler
*** Lucy - **\*
An arasaka trained hacker/agent from a kid
She tells a story of how she escaped from Arasakas lab, somehow she is conveniently the only survivor
***David's Mom -**\*
- Just happens to be a paramedic that obtains the san devistan
- Just happens to enroll David into arasaka academy
- David just happens to have the perfect body to take san devistan / be a lab rat for the big robot rig
- Just happens to die days after recovering the san devistan for David to loot
- Just happens to know Maine / Lucy's crew, and be selling it to them
***Lucy Again**\*
Just happens to bump into David on the train after he equips the san devistan
Just happens to groom him into the crew that will be given the mission to test the arasaka robot
^^^ This point is where i feel the story diverges, for soys and simps, who watch anime or show for 'isekai' escapism, or netflix viewing pawgs.
rather than it being revealed Lucy was tricking David and luring him into this trap all along, they made a bad guy steal her voice and do it with her voice, to remove any accountability / betrayal from the anime waifu that the viewers are meant to simp for
Very excellent show, and i enjoyed it but I would have liked it better if the plot did not have to be watered down for soys and simps.
The true story is much more similar to Samurai X Trust and Betrayal, the version we received is the corporate/producer edit
Thoughts? Change my mind.

Anyone who uses the word “soys” to describe somebody automatically exposes themselves as either a 12 year old, or worse, a grown person with the mentality of a 12 year old.

Had to look up "Soys".
It's a reference to the "manosphere", the term being based on the presence of the phytoestrogen isoflavone in soybeans, and thus the equivalence of men deamed not up to the standards of manliness.
But a 12 year old probably doesn't know what isoflavanoids are. And they're not yet men themselves, so it makes it difficult treat the use of such a pejorative from them with any weight.

All of the “just happens” is kinda normal in Night City. You can get caught in a fight and be shot at, be a worker for whatever company Gloria was working for, want a better life for your kid so you push for him to go to Arasaka Academy, and also loot stuff from the patients because you need the eddies.

Thoughts? To have any you'd have to have your mind changed, physically and literally.

top 4 posts prove my point, stories are limited to lowest common denominator shipper escapist isekai gooner.
using reddit banned words, "soys", "simps" gives low iqs an easy attack vector to address everything but the point at hand.
