We don't have companies called Militech or anything, we have companies named shit like Poob. Palantir is the only suitably evil sounding company
You're viewing a single thread.
Cyberpunk companies are named like the Bloodweb Syndicate and their company propaganda is dudes in LED face helmets holding big science guns. It rules. Like I could see myself on a hover cycle raiding their HQ with all my half-robot underclass buds.
Real life evil companies make propaganda in flat pastel colors and make social media posts like "Erm, did someone say coffee?" We live in daycare center aesthetics.
Daycare centre aesthetics really fucking nails it. I also really hate how people have internalized and regurgitate patronizing HR speak as if real people should ever say 'touch base'.
Same thing with how normalized a bunch of therapy speak has become, but of course that has the additional wrinkle of everyone misusing it because they're not licensed therapists.
