Cyberweek!
7 days where Techno-fetishists take center stage

"Sin (stylized as SiN) is a first-person shooter video game developed by Ritual Entertainment and published by Activision in 1998. It uses a modified version of the Quake II engine. Sin is set in the dystopian future of 2037" (Wikipedia)

..."set in a cyberpunk 2037, where tough police colonel, John R. Blade, of HardCorps squad goes after the criminal mastermind, Elexis Sinclaire, who plans to take over the crime-ridden city of Freeport." (IMDB)

A future where women running around in latex and leather fetishwear is normal, I guess?

Over the next 20+ years the game would get multiple additions, reboots, relaunches and crossovers into other media with an animated movie and a music album.

Models in latex were hired for promotional photos and appearances...

Synnett (left) and Bianca Beauchamp (right) dressed as SiN Episodes' video game characters, "Jessica Cannon" and "Elexis Sinclaire" for the official video game's website)

...but that will get its own entry

Apparently the 2006 relaunch of the game was going to have nudity but they chickened out before release.

This video of the beginning of the game intro has a nude scene 3 minutes in, so I guess it's from the pre-release version?

Game history

SiN the video game was originally released on November 4, 1998. Reloaded(?) version released March 2020.

Welcome to Cyberweek!
7 days where techno-fetishists take center stage 🤖

.

Cybernary was built with the exterior of a sex-bot, the interior of a killing machine and a human consciousness sandwiched somewhere in between…

But today will be taking a look at some of the villains in the story because, well, just look at them

What? It was the '90s

Hmm, I guess going into battle barechested sporting nipple chains never really caught on?

Okay, I'll toss in a page with the title character, too.... Or more accurately, the character mid-torturous transformation into Cybernary

Screenshot of abstract from Whip in my valise: British punk and the Marquis de Sade, c. 1975–85 article (Kink In Pop Culture- music, public performance, album covers, promotional materials, 1975-1985)

Text of Abstract

“British punk emerged in tandem with the formation of Sex Pistols, a band framed by a style and an aesthetic constructed, in part, by Malcolm McLaren and Vivienne Westwood via their London shop SEX (1974–76). The shop displayed fetishwear and accoutrements designed to fuse youth and sexual subcultures, deploying sex as a cultural weapon to provoke and confront. This article examines the Sadean influences that found expression through punk, suggesting that the Marquis de Sade had a seminal if diffused impact on the punk-informed cultures that evolved through the 1970s into the 1980s. Though often indirect—and bound to broader interpretations of sexual behaviour—the actions, aesthetics and ideas associated with the ‘Divine Marquis’ seemingly tallied with the mood of a country caught in a period of socio-economic and political change.”

2025 marked the 50th Anniversary of the Sex Pistols and the punk movement in the UK

The influence of kink on the musical genre was there right from the start, as documented in this 2022 article by Mathew Worley published in History from the top shelf: the cultural politics of sex in post-war Britain, volume 36 of the Contemporary British History journal

there is no future of cracking down where your favorite artists all make it and still produce art (at least not art you can access).

hell, even if the bills get undone at some point down the road, 2 or 3 years from now, a lot of primarily NSFW artists wont be in a place where they could return.

Sen. Josh Hawley praises Missouri's new antiporn regulations.

In addition to not being true, none of his screed has much to do with protecting kids. The only way to read it is as a pretext for widespread censorship, including criminalizing adult websites and production.

www.kq2.com/news/united-...

Missouri Senator Josh Hawley has expressed strong support for the ban, saying it's a "tremendous thing" and believes it to be an appropriate and necessary use of consumer protection laws to protect children from predatory websites and exploitation, with him commending state officials for taking action to implement the age verification law.
"When it comes to the porn industry, I mean, this is an industry that regularly engages in sex trafficking, in human trafficking and the exploitation of their so called models and actors and participants, and does not give them any rise, does not allow them to take down material online they want taken down," Hawley said. "And I think to protect kids from that in our state is absolutely appropriate and right, and I'm glad the attorney general and the governor are doing it."
