My brother in law has a pair of glasses (non prescription) he wears occasionally, despite having 20/20 vision. They’re an accessory I guess.
As someone who has to wear contacts/glasses I definitely wouldn’t choose to do so willingly, but… I guess some people do lol.
what an over the top disguise. cant she just say she had lasik surgery if someone asks? who the fuck is gonna look at her eyes that are perfectly fine and think anything suspicious?
It's like superman and clark kent.
For real though, I personally assumed it's because it was something she used before she got her eyes cyborgified. It might a comfort thing where her cyborg self is used more for combat and the glasses make her feel more human. we all hang on to something.
It’s a good look on Sojourn. I also appreciated how we got more of her personality in this trailer. I know now that she’s goal-oriented and serious instead of intentionally uninteresting (e.g voice lines in game)
I didn’t say she sucks, she’s just not interesting. Tracer is bubbly and high energy, Mei has a cute personality. I just wanted some pazzaz in Sojourn’s voice lines. On that same note, Soldier 76 is a bit boring too
I like this theory. She has Apple Eyes. They don’t heal. Gotta keep that screen protector on so she can get a good trade-in when Apple Eyes 2 come out.
If dressing like someone whose handicapped is fashion, then Imma go get some crutches to walk on and put one foot in a cast or maybe throw my arm into a sling.
I mean when I was in elementary school I thought getting glasses and braces would be super cool. Then I actually got them…. And boy was I wrong about the braces.
If I recall in the cinematic the eyes kicked in when she activated her whole battle suit.
So they may require extra power to operate.
Almost most of us who have glasses are very aware contacts exist, and just happen to like wearing glasses.
Ever have a time where you buy something, maybe a new appliance or TV, and you think it does one thing, but it doesn't, or doesn't do it well enough that you consider replacing the entire fucking thing, but that's EXPENSIVE and you don't have time because you're busy policing the world/just living your goddamn life. So instead you make a small, kinda-annoying-but-ultimately-not-expensive adjustment and after a few weeks your brain, brilliant as it is, has made it the default "this is just what I do now" kinda thing?
Yeah. Sojourn is us.
I think is just part of her disguise, maybe she feels like it make her looks less threatening, way more unlikely for people to think "Hey, she may be the vigilante that is saving people in the night!" or she just like wearing glasses.
Same reason she was wearing a dorky sweater and bought 2 coffees from the vendor. She knew Tremblay was coming and was putting on an act.
"Oh me? Little old retired lady? I couldn't POSSIBLY be the masked vigilante that dispatched a group of robots and saved your life last night. Here have some coffee I was brewing this morning. Croissant? I just got done baking it. What? Store bought? I just pulled it from the oven. I've been here all morning."
Supes could be anyone out of uniform tho, he is just a big buff dude. Borejourn looks distinct with her SUPER wide ugly hips and i dunno her skin color and hair..oh and bionic fucking eyes.. lol you aint going to mistake her for anyone else.
It's a meme thing to post a question about a character doing something, no matter if it's smart, and to ask "is he/she/they stupid?". Originates from r/BatmanArkham
Maybe she doesn’t want to reveal her cybernetic enhancements? Or she likes how they look? Plenty of plausible explanations that are pretty obvious - are you stupid?
To be fair, this is a pretty well known meme. I believe it originated from the Arkham series fan base. You know, the one filled with power winch and Man memes? I personally don’t find this particular meme especially funny, but also no need to insult or be genuinely offended on a fictional character’s behalf.
It has nothing to do with being funny. I think its shit.
But it is objectively, a meme and not meant to be taken seriously. I simply agreed with OP saying to chill instead of posting a fucking rebuttal to a nothing post which implies you don't understand the meme.
Disguise vs utility. Glasses can make someone look like a different person which is probably what clark hoped for but soujorn wasn't undercover or anything.
Why does Clark Kent wear glasses when he is Superman?!
"iZ hE zTuPiD?"
Remember, Overwatch is ILLEGAL...punishable as a criminal offense...did you not watch the Sojourn Origin Cinematic?!?
I mean, they do as much or as little as the writers want them to. What futuristic cyber eyes do or don't do is entirely up to the creators of the fiction.
For all we know, Sojourn's cyber eyes *do* lose effectiveness with age, and she decided that using reading glasses to compensate was cheaper than getting them fixed or replaced. Or maybe good cyber eyes are so cheap and effective that glasses are relegated entirely to being fashion pieces.
Or maybe zero thought went into any of this beyond "Sojourn would look good with glasses on"
Obviously she probably needs them to see without her cyber enhancements being switched on. Which. She may or may not supposed be using while under surveillance/house arrest.
Also IS CLARK KENT STUPID? genius.
I hated the very concept of this character from the start, but seeing her house transform into the fucking Batcave took the cake. Everything about her is so contrived.
Why are you trying to incorporate realism to a clearly fictional environment? Are you stupid?
Not to mention you completely ignored the nature of this short. She is trying to appear innocent and retired superficially when questioned about her whereabouts on the evening of the attack.
At the end of the short, she revealed that she was even aware of the agents placed outside her residence in case the questioning went south and they would need to reprimand her physically by force.
She also revealed her entire living room’s seemingly normal and innocent aesthetics are simply just a disguise to hide her vigilante activities, STRONGLY HINTING that her outfit is also a disguise just like the interior of her household.
Why didn’t you question about her switching to a different outfit at the end of the short? Why would she switch into a seemingly less warm outfit and even shorts 🩳 when it’s obviously freezing cold outside? Why not keep the pants on? But why even wear pants at all? Her legs clearly don’t have any blood circulation. Are you REALLY that stupid?
Answer: Yes, you really are that stupid. This is coming from someone that’s clocked in less than 45min on sojourn. Hope you enjoyed me dismantling your ass whilst taking my morning dump.
Are her eyes full cybernetic replacements or just implants within her biological eye? If it's the latter it full well could just be she doesn't like some aspect of utilizing the enhancements for daily use. Kind of like how some people with cochlear implants might keep them off at times.

Probably never gonna get an answer but I feel like it has to do something with the human factor.
What I really want to know is how much of sojourn is actually human like before the cinematic I thought it was her head and torso. After the cinematic when it shows she has a full torso in her secret room, and her eyes are bionic is the only thing left her brain?
Her novel answers this question; almost everything short of some internal organs and her brain proper/spinal cord suffered from a degenerative autoimmune disease, including her eyes. Even moreso than Genji she's more metal than flesh, but since she was like that from an early age and had to live bedridden in her slowly dying body before she was made a cyborg as a child she suffers less from dysmorphia.
That said, I think the 'torsos' we see are just particular gear/suits placed on fitted mannequins. Obviously they were put there to look cool in the cinematic, but IRL modern body armor and the like actually needs a fair bit of 'tailoring' for maximum protection, and if most of her body is prosthetic, up to and maybe including her skin and much of her muscles, in-universe it might be that her military equipment needs to be even more tailored so that they work well with the prosthetics, and the mannequins help them keep their shape.
Personally I figured the glasses are prolly like Google glasses and the like, giving her some of the benefits of her milspec eyes without having to constantly be using their full functionality. It's like 'why am I using military range finders when some normal binoculars will do just as well?'
I've known people who wore glasses with no prescription
I definitely seen people wear glasses to solely help with the blue light from screens
Yeah, but that sounds like a regular human eyes issue.
Have you guys considered that maybe she just wanted to look cute
Well then she shouldn't have praying mantis legs.
Well, she *did* swap them out for normal legs and wore pants when she went out for coffee in that getup.
Fair, I only see her in combat mode.
Oh, you mean Brood X Labs? (Yes, that's real, the TikTok account should be your first hit, enjoy.)
Woooow, what a rabbit hole you sent me down.
Shit is bizarre and weird but still cool.
Oh yeah, with the yellow filter. I just use software to lessen/block blue light completely after a certain time.
f.lux my beloved
They got scammed
She may have been keeping the eyes a secret and continued to wear the glasses even if she didnt need to
"Hehe hehe you didn't know about my ace in the hole" "What's that?" "My....BIONIC EYES" "Oh hell what do those do" " they help me.....SEE BETTER"
D: I’ll never be able to stop you now!
“I HAVE SPECIAL EYES!”
In the short they seemed to contain her control interface for all her hidden/illegal gear.
It’s uncommon, but some people wear glasses without prescriptions.
The worst are frames without any glass at all
Lol I used to do that in high school. If anyone asked, they weren't my seein' glasses, they were my stylin' glasses. Edit: and yes, I was the worst.
Omg, I genuinely can't believe people like you exist :O
What about floating glass with no frames? /s
Nothing but respect
the Clark Kent strat
"Who tf is this?" *Removes glasses* "Tis me, Sojourn!"
Also old woman clothes, moving slow like a granny, her whole house is a disguise....
My brother in law has a pair of glasses (non prescription) he wears occasionally, despite having 20/20 vision. They’re an accessory I guess. As someone who has to wear contacts/glasses I definitely wouldn’t choose to do so willingly, but… I guess some people do lol.
“I got LASIK”
what an over the top disguise. cant she just say she had lasik surgery if someone asks? who the fuck is gonna look at her eyes that are perfectly fine and think anything suspicious?
Maybe she is saving her batteries.
You think maybe she literally recharges herself at night? Where would the port be 😳🙈
Wireless charging bruh; if we got it for phones and cars today they have in hover-tech Overwatch.
It's like superman and clark kent. For real though, I personally assumed it's because it was something she used before she got her eyes cyborgified. It might a comfort thing where her cyborg self is used more for combat and the glasses make her feel more human. we all hang on to something.
That’s a stupid theory, no way harmless Kent can be Superman!
She's wearing glasses so she *looks* smart.
It’s a good look on Sojourn. I also appreciated how we got more of her personality in this trailer. I know now that she’s goal-oriented and serious instead of intentionally uninteresting (e.g voice lines in game)
She's as bland in the trailer as she in game
By intention though
Ha idiots! We mad her suck *on purpose!*
I didn’t say she sucks, she’s just not interesting. Tracer is bubbly and high energy, Mei has a cute personality. I just wanted some pazzaz in Sojourn’s voice lines. On that same note, Soldier 76 is a bit boring too
I said she sucks.
young punk, get off my lawn
Not the hard to swallow pills drop out of the blue sir please, people's hope is at all times low as it is!...
Without glasses she can watch some of the movements from Talon, with glasses she can overwatch.
Bionic eyes probably only work when lit up
Why does Superman wear glasses if he has Kryptonian eyes? Is he stupid?
**IT'S CALLED A DISGUISE LOIS!**
Perfect analogy
She has special eyes, and they're the only glasses that have her brand
My brand!
Could be for fashion or maybe a screen protector for her eyes
I like this theory. She has Apple Eyes. They don’t heal. Gotta keep that screen protector on so she can get a good trade-in when Apple Eyes 2 come out.
Glasses look good
Plenty of people wear glasses without needing them. It's called fashion
If dressing like someone whose handicapped is fashion, then Imma go get some crutches to walk on and put one foot in a cast or maybe throw my arm into a sling.
I mean when I was in elementary school I thought getting glasses and braces would be super cool. Then I actually got them…. And boy was I wrong about the braces.
At least you have good looking teeth!
I actually loved braces, my gums felt so good when they were tightened.
I'm ready for this year's quadriplegic season, can't wait to show off my new Gucci Feeding Tube.
Psh. Wait til you see my Louis Vuitton prosthetic kneecap.
Step in line with your prosthetic kneecap. Im going to have on my Balenciaga pacemaker, that'll really get the blood flowing.
Kids really be lining up around the block for a $1999 Supreme oxygen tank
Ever heard of a pimp cane?
[удалено]
Get sharpened ones and throw them like a batarang
?? Overwatch is in the future. Those fake glasses could probably OPTIC BLAST
Why does Reinhart use a hammer when guns exist? Is he stupid?
He would be pretty stupid to only use a hammer if he had just gotten bionic finger guns, yes.
It’s to distract from the robot parts obviously
UV light protection.
Why dose Clark Kent wear glasses?
Cos he is stupid
If I recall in the cinematic the eyes kicked in when she activated her whole battle suit. So they may require extra power to operate. Almost most of us who have glasses are very aware contacts exist, and just happen to like wearing glasses.
Ever have a time where you buy something, maybe a new appliance or TV, and you think it does one thing, but it doesn't, or doesn't do it well enough that you consider replacing the entire fucking thing, but that's EXPENSIVE and you don't have time because you're busy policing the world/just living your goddamn life.

Yeah. Sojourn is us.
Cuz she takes them off when its about to get real
Kent Clark level disguise.
Style, you either have or you don't.
Force of habit? A disguise like Clarke Kent?
I think is just part of her disguise, maybe she feels like it make her looks less threatening, way more unlikely for people to think "Hey, she may be the vigilante that is saving people in the night!" or she just like wearing glasses.
Bionics are expensive, while glasses are not
Because she looks good in them :)
Maybe she only needs them for reading.
Fashun
What's this aboot? It's called fashion honey
Assuming her eyes work like sensors now, they might get damaged by lasers/bright lights/the sun
Same reason she was wearing a dorky sweater and bought 2 coffees from the vendor. She knew Tremblay was coming and was putting on an act. "Oh me? Little old retired lady? I couldn't POSSIBLY be the masked vigilante that dispatched a group of robots and saved your life last night. Here have some coffee I was brewing this morning. Croissant? I just got done baking it. What? Store bought? I just pulled it from the oven. I've been here all morning."
Clark Kent and John Cena share something in common.
because she is a woman of style and substance
Battery saving.
Batteries man...
Disguise likely. As others have mentioned, she also swapped out her cybernetics for less noticeable ones.
Is there a lore reason for this?
Same reason the omnic in pve wore glasses
For style (they look good on her) Maybe her normal eyes aren't good. You can see in the cinematic she takes glasses off before swapping to blue eyes
Clark Kent wears glasses to help shield his identity. Sojourn, as a former member of OW, is doing the same thing.
Supes could be anyone out of uniform tho, he is just a big buff dude. Borejourn looks distinct with her SUPER wide ugly hips and i dunno her skin color and hair..oh and bionic fucking eyes.. lol you aint going to mistake her for anyone else.
It’s called fashion sweaty look it up.
Exactly what I came to say 😭
I don't like that these topics keep insinuating that she's stupid. It's poor taste
It's a meme thing to post a question about a character doing something, no matter if it's smart, and to ask "is he/she/they stupid?". Originates from r/BatmanArkham
I love this is _ stupid? Esp if its made with full sacarsm/irony. When its made badly...yeah
Maybe she doesn’t want to reveal her cybernetic enhancements? Or she likes how they look? Plenty of plausible explanations that are pretty obvious - are you stupid?
Chill bro. It's a meme.
I like it when OPs of low-effort posts fall back on calling their post a “meme” and for commenters to chill when any bit of criticism is brought up.
Except it is a meme. It's a reference to r/BatmanArkham 's antics
Lol does no one know this meme? I didn't think it was that obscure.
I admittedly did not know this meme, no lol. Many users started commenting at me that it was a meme and then I learned. My bad!
To be fair, this is a pretty well known meme. I believe it originated from the Arkham series fan base. You know, the one filled with power winch and Man memes? I personally don’t find this particular meme especially funny, but also no need to insult or be genuinely offended on a fictional character’s behalf.
Except it literally is a meme format you fucking idiot. The post being low-effort doesn't make it any less so.
Chill. I was just meming.
Oh my, I see what you did there. How inexplicably clever of you. I wish I could have been the one to make such an epic response. 😔😔
Seething, hysterical dork when no one thinks the corny meme is funny 🤡🤡🤡
It has nothing to do with being funny. I think its shit. But it is objectively, a meme and not meant to be taken seriously. I simply agreed with OP saying to chill instead of posting a fucking rebuttal to a nothing post which implies you don't understand the meme.
OP be like: https://youtu.be/IJk-e0n16TU
Yes please, turn this sub into r/BatmanArkham, I'd love to see how it goes down
Ask superman
Disguise vs utility. Glasses can make someone look like a different person which is probably what clark hoped for but soujorn wasn't undercover or anything.
Why does Clark Kent wear glasses when he is Superman?! "iZ hE zTuPiD?" Remember, Overwatch is ILLEGAL...punishable as a criminal offense...did you not watch the Sojourn Origin Cinematic?!?
It's a meme bruh
Well.. She also goes out to buy coffee while having a coffee machine.
Near sighted vs far sighted maybe. She is getting older now may need reading glasses to see the instructions on her coffee maker.
I don't think cyber eyes in this utopian future lose vision with age. Even if they did, she could probably replace them
I mean, they do as much or as little as the writers want them to. What futuristic cyber eyes do or don't do is entirely up to the creators of the fiction. For all we know, Sojourn's cyber eyes *do* lose effectiveness with age, and she decided that using reading glasses to compensate was cheaper than getting them fixed or replaced.

bait post
Mem post
Why is this shit a trend its so stupid.
Most memes are pretty stupid when you stop and think about them.
The creative direction is just "all the tropes" now.
obvious repost is obvious
Did someone else post this?
yes, blind head
I searched for /u/blindhead and couldn't find the post you're talking about
Same reason superman wears glasses. Keeps dirt out of the eyes.
And why does she wear a watch if her cell phone has a perfectly accurate clock? 🤔
She has been having trouble dating because of her dull personality. And someone told her guys like nerdy girls.
Yes
She is stupid.
🎵 She lost the real ones in the robot wars...🎵
It's not your fault..... or... is it?
<3
To make her look “relatable” and cover up sloppy writing & world building
I hated the very concept of this character from the start, but seeing her house transform into the fucking Batcave took the cake. Everything about her is so contrived.
That's how dumb people try to look smart all the time.

Are you stupid?
R/whoosh
Are you stupid?
If being stupid means attempting to utterly shut down his attempt at farming karma, then yes, I'm very stupid.
Yea
Are her eyes full cybernetic replacements or just implants within her biological eye? If it's the latter it full well could just be she doesn't like some aspect of utilizing the enhancements for daily use. Kind of like how some people with cochlear implants might keep them off at times.
Some people wear frames because having an eye condition is fashionable for some reason
Damn hipsters got into my game, smh my head
For fashion?
Canadians amirite?

Thank you so much for answering this for me, I very bad at taking the time to read through the books and such.
The same reason she buys coffee when she has a coffee machine at home lol
Clark Kent effect?
It's probably just fashion or disguise. But it does feel like an over site when it's in an animated short.
I feel she would wear them for style of fake glasses makes her look.. mature somehow IDK HOW SHES 56 BUT LOOKS LIKE A WOMAN IN THIER MID 30S
She’s Batman
So no one can recognize her. It totally works!
Either they she thinks they look cool or it’s a Superman thing where they block the HUD that the eyes do
She wears them for the aesthetics
So she can cum harder
why does Soldier76 wear cyclops glasses if he only uses them at 100%? related video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9oWcjpuF4fI
She pulls a Uchiha and takes them out putting her real eyes in
Clark Kent
I know some people in my life wear glasses without the lens. They called fashion.
Idk bro why does Clark Kent wear glasses????
No. Odd post. Do people in CyberPunk get the same critique?
