Finish the devil ending and ask that question again
Zackneifein
Because, even taking it as objectively as possible, Arasaka is as bad as a Corpo can be.
And everything related to Arasaka is also pure evil. I mean, the only thing I see as more evil than Saburo Arasaka is genocidal Rogue AIs from beyond the Blackwall that are more close to Lovecraft monstruosity than an highly advanced ChatGPT. That quite a feat for Saburo.
So being the “Heart” of Arasaka family doesn’t make her “good” or “neutral”. She is still evil as fuck.
Ironically the least evil of all Arasaka group is Yorinobu by far.

She’s the number 3 person in a company that killed the oceans andall world wide naval trade to get there shares value up. I could go on but that should be enough for anyone to want to put a bullet throw her brainpan
UnhandMeException
Enabling ethnonationalist Corpofascism by her father by murdering her brother, lies to you to save one of the most expressly evil groups in the setting.
Incredibile42
She uses you like a literal jizzrag then tosses you into a trash can on the moon, but then again that’s just the Arasaka way.

idk bro, that sounds pretty fucked

She’s evil but…
Hey she looks nice.
Ah man I wish I was in Cyberpunk world.
I wish she could trash talk me while I say she’s gorgeous.

Because she’s arasaka.
EightSeven69
She’s opposing her brother’s will to make changes in a horribly dystopian company that treats employees like disposable cutlery and customers like walking money pits, why the F do you think?
Neverbody
Because she helped her father become an immortal holy terror for one.
alelan
Because she is. She’s fully dedicated to Arasaka regardless of what it takes to achieve their goals.
jab136
Because the only corpo in the game that isn’t entirely a terrible person is York. I really wish there was an ending where we worked with him. Since his goals actually line up pretty well with ours and Johnny’s.
agent-garland
… she killed her brother by overwriting his consciousness with her evil dictator father’s.
KingUdyr
This is satire right? Please tell me you’re not that dense.
Maszpoczestujsie
I am fairly convinced that people on this sub areĀ media illiterate
SillyAdditional
I love that the huge plot twist of the game is that her brother was the actual hero and sheās the villain
David10100334
Arasaka bad
chinesetakeout91
Itās because sheās still a stupid corpo at the end of the day, no different from Saburo, just playing the game differently. she plays a soft, disarming character to not seem as bad.
She upholds the status quo, which is already unforgivable in that context. Plus Yorinobu was relatively in the right here.
Xarzaparrila
Is this a joke?
Paradox31426
Sheās literally the poster child for carrying on the status quo at Arasaka.
Also itās canon that she wrote the current(remember Alt says the current version has little in common with her original program) version of Soulkiller.

No one that rich and powerful is a good person.
They may start out that way, but to survive in that tax bracket/class you turn into a cold hearted shark.
– and she’s still here..
snakebite262
Because she is. Corpos only care about what you can give them. Once you’re no longer of use, you’re tossed aside like yesterday’s news.
Frugalman123
Sheās an extension of saburo
Huge_Aerie2435
Come on.. Can’t spoil it for you.. Rest assured though, she is an evil bitch.
Agreeable-Kangaroo1
Remember what Johnny said “Remember, it’s all just biz, he’s no friend of ours”.
Just Johnny reminding us that anyone that sounds and looks like they are helping, they are only do so in their own interests, hanako tries to take your soul in the devil ending because it’s unique and will literally use Takemura, someone V trusts to convince V to become Arasakas bitch.
Mirinya
She has a father complex.
Dorfheim
She’s a corpo choom
Illustrious_Bit_7470
She subjects v to several tests to make sure v is OK to go out into the world, but after she has enough data and v says they want to go back to earth. She let’s v walk free and even offered to employ them for great pay once they get back to earth. So she’s not bad to v at least. But I guess if I had to guess, it’s probably because she brings her father back to life via the relic and kills her brother so her father can take over arasaka again. This is bad true because of what saburo believes in, so I guess that’s what it is.
PoorLifeChoices811
Sheās an Arasaka. Sheās pushing 80. She may be the āheartā of the corporation, but sheās still participating in the evil that corporation brings upon the world.
ElizabethAudi
Well she talked Saburo down from the notion of fucking up Night City on their way over, that’s something I guess.
AnseaCirin
Much like Takemura, she chooses loyalty above all.
Since that loyalty goes to a very, very evil person, she commits evil deeds in his name.
Not to mention the grade A corporatist Bitchism in her.
She drips arrogance through all pores.
If there’s one NPC I wish I could have killed, besides Saburo, it’s her.
JereRB
Okay, here’s a hint:
You decide to help Arasaka. You pop your pill. Johnny goes bye-bye. And you call Hanako.
…And you get the picture of evil-lookin’ corpo-crone with the most ominous red silhouette you’ve ever seen.
This is a hint. A big hint. A huge, multi-faceted red flag waving in your face with fourth-of-july fireworks and dancing brimstone-farting ponies that, HEY! YOU DONE PICKED THE BAD GUYS!!!!
You know, just in case you missed it.
dingo_khan
She’s an Arasaka. She cannibalized her brother’s psyche to create a zombie puppet version of her father. She’d have zero’d v if it was easier.
But most importantly : she’s an Arasaka.
Helgurnaut
Anything you read about her in game shows how bad she is. On the top of my head any journalist trying to itw her “disappear”
fhb_will
Because she didnāt suck up to V the entire time and treat them like an untouchable, invincible god
