In early December 2020 upon the game being released to reviewers and streamers, the earliest examples of memes making reference to “Penis 2” as a customization option began appearing online.

president stupid j moron @bambooney this is so f------ funny cyberpunk 2077 > General Discussions > Topic Details Jerreh - 25 minutes ago Don't pick a circumcised penis if you are a male V. It locks you out of romance options and characters will mock you in the game. I can't believe this is even a thing, but it's true. it's truly bizarre CDPR would let such a seemingly minor choice ( for a game) to play a role in the narrative. Pretty low by CDPR IMO.

On December 10th, Twitter[8] user Cudalla tweeted a reference to “Penis 1” and “Penis 2” claiming they couldn’t decide between the options. The tweet (seen below) received over 2,100 likes and 45 retweets in 34 hours.
