I just think they should stick to the story. Politics belongs on the news, not in football or in movies.
If everything is going to be politicized, we may as well just get rid of sports and entertainment. I mean their whole purpose was to be a "break" from everyday reality.


"stick to the story"

most movies are terrible versions of the books that their story comes from and most don't matter what race characters are as the race isn't a part of the story

as usual using right wing extreme ignorance like a meme of ryan gosling playing MLK to pretend your position actually just isn't based heavily in old man racism , which it is

What are your thoughts on decades and decades of portraying non white people as bullshit caricatures played by white people? no bitching about the story when racists had control of it

Honestly people like you shouldn't exist. I won't defend Ghot because he is a little biased but people like you bring out the extremes in everyone.

You are also stpuid as fuck and just point out the person rather than pertaining to the argument. Do you even know anything about the Witcher?

Lets make Beowulf black in a old English tale LOL

I don't have a problem with people not seeing a movie based on a book/game/story that they think the hollywood machine may ruin for them

I skip lots of movies every year because I don't want to mess around with my love for the story they are based on.



have fun explaining how my posts and opinions are wrong with this one he posted

Failed. The argument isn't about the 'racist' memes hes posting, though in a sense I would consider those posts full of prejudice rather than racism, then also point out that original argument was about the cast of a story where Ciri is the princess of a Queen who came from a versin of the Nordic isles in the story, and from a strictly imperial White lineage in Nilfguaard (a sort of Germany).

But go ahead and bring his past posts and your perspection of him being racist into the clear argument about changing canon for racist diversity.

Has Ciri been cast? or is all this about an online rumored casting list that hasn't even been confirmed by the showrunner?

Pretty sure she hasn't, but I would be disappointed if she was. Don't get me wrong, but Ciri already has an image among her fan base. Changing it to fit diversity is literally in line with the current nuanced definition of racism that people throw around nowadays.

You are somewhat right though, it isn't good to jump the gun on things like that. But letting them know that they are making a bad decision for the fan base because they aren't being super specific isn't a bad thing either.
