aha okay so problem with Ciri in Witcher 4 isn't that she's a female protagonist, it's that gamer bros think she's an ugly female protagonist. (i mean it's a problem that she's a woman too don't get me wrong)
are you KIDDING ME??? i just saw a short of a dude "defending" her and saying "oh no she's not ugly, a little rough around the edges". one comment said "we've seen her in context of anger so her face was distorted which means she's much more beautiful when normal"
uhhhh???? UHHH??? SHE KILLS MONSTERS FOR A LIVING AND SHE'S NOT A TEEN ANYMORE??? AND!!!! AND SHE IS STILL??? GORGEOUS????
HER ARMOR (LMAO!!!!!) IS NOT REVEALING ENOUGH. SHE FIGHTS IN YOU KNOW FLAT BOOTS AND NOT HEELS SO IT'S DIFFICULT TO IMMEDIATELY SEXUALIZE HER.
oh but wait!!!! second beef is that she's an adult woman who somehow got through the trials and can now drink witcher potions so if adult men can't why should she be able to, right??? right???
oh my god it makes me so angry i cannot function.
like i cannot believe that THIS is a men vs women issue at its core it BAFFLES ME.
i understand being worried or just questioning the design changes. i have questions too! but this... this blatant misogyny is disgusting.
