But how hyper masculine gamers are going to keep being masculine if they don’t have a role model like Gerald? This is a plot to feminize the male population and make them sex slaves of the women.
I don’t care about Ciri being the main character, I like her, but I read the books and I do care about them feeling the need to make the character a witcher when this isn’t the case in the books; she couldn’t be a witcher nor does she need to.
It’s not like I’m writing the game off, but it’s a significant departure from the books, which makes me cautious, and I feel like challenging people to “read the books,” is a bit disingenuous here.
didn’t realise people were calling the next witcher game woke because of this, but it’s 2025 and there’s no bar too low.
detractors probably never realised you could play parts of TW3 as Ciri because of skill issue
Here’s some helpful ancient internet wisdom that’s quite obviously been lost to time: Don’t feed the trolls.
Sure, it doesn’t account for 100% of this stuff, but how do so many people not see what’s clearly going on here?
People need to learn anti ‘woke’ is code for racism. Same with anti-DEI.
Probably more sexism in this case …
Idk about you but I’m racist against women.
The race of men shall prevail over all it’s foes, be they dwarven, elves, goblins or womenfolk.
Obligatory marxist theory: its all a plot to divide the working class for better exploitation. An angry, divided, exhausted populace cant stand united against oppression. Anti wokeism is all just planted by capitalists.
If only the media was well regulated to protect against bad actors turning it into a propaganda machine like this
Well regulated is an oxymoron. You cant give regulators control over the media under threat of them being compromised. Media must always be independent and democratic. Meaning all private media firms must be dismantled and only horizontally governed media collectives can be permitted. Meaning that all participants in a media outlet are equal and decide in qualified majority over their actions. Of course this doesnt mean independent journalists cant be a thing. Just not large, for profit corporations with hierarchies.
What’s to stop a horizontally governed media collective from being compromised and corrupted?
Nothing. Same as a hierarchical one. The chance of corrupting a democratically governed group is astronomically worse than a hierarchical one.
So wouldn’t it be better to have an independent regulator and a robust set of ethics and rules the media needs to adhere to?
Could be a bit of both, with examples of intersectionality provided by folks with those mindsets occasionally.
It seems to be about human rights. And when all rights are gone… The us already fought a civil war about this, but apparently it is still ongoing.
If those people could read, developers could save so much money by not having the games fully voiced.
Yeah as soon as someone says it nowadays I know they’re someone to disregard. Just another word corrupted by the right wing.
But I want to buy every single game that have Geralt in it. Looks like I skip buying next witcher then.
