Flaunting cybernetics

I seem to remember the corebook dismissing highly visible cybernetic augmentations and prosthetics as outdated and used only as stopgap measures, but I think that given the many subcultures and bizarre posthuman fashions of EP, there would be plenty of people who would seek the most visible, obvious cybernetics they could. I'm thinking a cross between cyberpunk fashion and a non-evil version of the Silicon Creatures from Blame!. So where do you think they'd gather? Where would they be politically?

actually wouldn't biocons be more wary of meatware since that is significantly more advanced and have a lot more nanotech invested in their creation and operation?

I think it depends on where they are. Many Biocons can be very machinaphobic, so looking or being more machine like will get ya treated like a pod. I would say look to how pods are treated as a sign of how heavy cyber will be treated in that hab.
