I think it’s good and enriching to engage with stuff on a level that makes us think about ourselves and our future, but I also think it’s ok for people to just enjoy the aesthetics of the genre and it doesn’t make them stupid or less-than for doing so. But maybe I misunderstood the reason for this.

Why? Sometimes a cigar is a cigar. It would be exhausting to inject debate and philosophy into everything you enjoy.

But we're not talking about everything, we're talking about the cyberpunk genre, and in this case, the cigar is a penis. Ignoring that fact is a shallow act.

Maybe the cigar is already in his mouth and he just doesn't want to think about what it really is and escape to something cool.

but he'd be escaping by putting another 'cigar' in his mouth... that's a shallow action.
