The middle east is a rather interesting place in 2070, what with the destruction of Tehran by Aden and the revelation that Ibn Eisa was a Master Shedim. But what I'm most concerned about is the issue of women's rights in 2070, most specifically the presences of baddass anime-esque squads of heavily armed super-baddass police women with swords and machine guns and nunchucks and shit.


I am concerned about this topic not because I want to absurdly introduce anime-esque squads of heavily armed baddass police women into a nation which is highly oppressive to women without any concern for realism or sanity; I am concerned about this topic because anime-esque squads of heavily armed baddass police women exist in Iran today.

And they have giant anime guns. Just look at the pure unadulterated baddassery on that Iranian police woman's face as she one-hands that giant anime gun. It's like Iran has invented the Fish Speakers for real.
You certainly wouldn't want to meet these Chador-clad ladies in a dark alley


There exist, in Iran today, chador-clad police women with giant anime guns and swords and nunchucks and shit rappel off buildings and shoot from the windows of moving cars and execute unarmed suspects and blow stuff up and shit.

This is the Iran I want to Shadowrun in. I want to Shadowrun in an Iran where baddass women police officers with giant anime guns shoot at you from moving vehicles, rough you up and summarily execute you before beating a vampire to death with weapon focus nunchucks and chopping an Islamic demon into tiny pieces.
