Poll: Henry Cavill is Geralt

Personally, I hope they have loads of sex scenes, but instead of having sex with him all the women just give him cards with erotic drawings on them and he goes and jacks off in a corner.

You ought to be arrested for making that joke, because I just nearly fucking died laughing.

On the whole Ciri and BAME thing, I could see her being played by someone of eastern Asian decent. I think people seem to forget that Asian's can be fair skinned as all hell. Check any mainstream Chinese actress and you'll notice she'll be generally lighter skinned than most American's IMO. Being of Asian decent myself, this seems to be a weird observation people in America seems to overlook all the time. But having Ciri being Asian could fulfill the whole exotic look while still keeping close to her book counter part. Though I could see problems with the whole elves=Asians trope and possible ties with the Chinese/Communism bad guys thing.

I have not gotten that "Let me google that for you" in quite awhile.

The showrunner has quit Twitter over harassment.

What gets me is this time, it wasn't even a case of race swapping. It was a rumor over race swapping. If they were planning on casting a non-white actress, they sure as hell aren't going to now.

Don't feel bad, I had no idea there was another acronym out there for "not white" either.

I am glad the idea of a non-white Ciri has been murdered in its crib. She's the emperor's daughter for crying out loud. She's not going to be any colour other than the majority ethnicity of the empire. Fans want the characters to look as close to the source material as possible because that is what they want to see, a live-action version of their beloved book series.

The Poles don't care what nationality the actors are, as long as they look the part. They're ecstatic to see it being bankrolled by Netflix and for The Witcher to be their ambitious project designed to compete with Game of Thrones.

It would be like having a white person in Moana, or one of the Wakandan royal family by birth being white. It's not "inclusion" it's patronizing and "woke signaling".
