I don't think it's "racist" per se, but it's a dumb decision that has no reason behind it. The character is white and supposed to be so as it plays part in the story irc.
I'm not angry that ciri could be non-white. I'm angry that they seem to not want her to be white. The person who plays the role best should get the part. Not the person who plays it best of a certain group of people. That's not equality.
Well yeah, they’re specifically looking for a non-white actress.
I think when it comes to movies and shows it’s a little different because they have a script and lore to stick to. For example if a white man happened to portray the Black Panther better than all others that went out for it should the white man be chosen? I don’t think know, that would be very odd.
With the black panther though, his race is important to the character. He is a king in Africa, like his fathers before him.
Ciri is a princess in a polish based story who’s white and has been in all the books and games 😑
its not racist. its just more of that diversity bs. bur if it was reversed, lefty twats wozld be screeching racism
Just pick a Asian chick white dude love Asian women. y'all will never say anything bad about your asiam queen.
And Asian poeple are popping right now cuz that crazy rich movie.
Also Asian people need to get y'all back for ghost in the shell and deathnote.
Asian women were looked at for this role.
Just pick them so white people won't be mad.
Hmmm well unless skin colour is relevant to the story it doesn't matter
If it is in this case I cannot say so much I did try that game but wasn't all that into it
Heresy
Haha
Well I understand that it was a very popular rpg but I found it hard to get into
It wasn't terrible or anything but I didn't love it though maybe the sequels were better
No 3 was the best and has been lauded as one of the best games ever made.
What was hard to get into about it?
Well I have the first two of them not the third one
Only played the first one and never finished it I think... I remember getting to some boss type thing in a temple in a swamp or something
It just all felt very disjointed the story didn't really flow and there seemed to be a lot of busy work with travelling back and forth also I found many quests were not all that well explained
I guess I ought to give the 3rd one a go at some point
Oh oh. Yeah Witcher 3 is marvelous just look at the reviews, plus the two expansions are incredible. The tale is amazing as well with one of my favorite characters in all of fiction coming from this game. Gaunter O’Dimm, the man of mirrors, is incredible and intriguing.
Anyway I digress. I never played 1, I played 2&3 and read the first book thus far.
Yeah I heard good things about the 3rd one I decided to give the series a go from the start though I bought 1 and 2 on gog. com on a sale and intended to get 3 on sale at some point too after I finished the first two just kinda soured on the first
Maybe if you give that a go you will see why
Perhaps I should give the 2nd I already paid for a go soon
Are they stand alone story wise?
Hmm. The games are set after the books and the games (particularly W3) treat the book as canon drawing heavily from them and doing them justice in my opinion.
W2 wasn’t toooo bad, but w3 really was a masterpiece and w2 can’t hold a candle to it. I don’t know if you watch any game review channels, but they all gave it really good reviews

Angry Joe 10/10
9.3 or 93% from metacritic, IGN, Gamespot etc
If by stand-alone you were asking if the W3 story is standalone then mostly. There are a few references that I needed to google, but I started getting deep into some of the lore that a lot of people aren’t interested in.
Ok well I have already paid for the 2nd one so I really should at least try that but I think I should see if I like that better before shelling out for the 3rd
True true.
This is Hollywood bending over backwards to appease people for the sake of saving face
It's uncool but I don't think it fits the term of racism. After all they are just trying to not appear racist, that doesn't mean they think white are inferior or something. It's just trying to not be racist in a stupid way.
No, just as a white actor may play as a black guy it's not racism making fun of other races can be just a joke people don't have to take everything so seriously even black people sometimes make fun of their culture
So, are you up for a white MLK, Obama, or Black Panther?
It's not racist because it's not deeming whites inferior however it's really fucking dumb. We should recast black panther with white only actors
As much as I think it’s a “diversity” thing and how much that would annoy me, really I think that it’s wouldn’t really be that odd. It’s not like she had any family or heritage that was in the story.
What? Her family and heritage were explicitly stated.
Found the person who never read the books.
Yeah, I didn’t read the books. Sorry.
If they’re explicitly stated then okay that makes it worst. Is it relevant to the story?
Her lineage? Yes
Okay yeah, they could change a bunch of stuff to make this fit but I’m not optimistic, you’ve got a point.
I tend to 😂
But really, my issue is with these hacks who can’t create their own stories so they steal other people’s work that already has a sizable fan base to leech off their success and then just change things up to fit their narrative and then insult the fans who are invested in the actual story. It’s baffling and contemptible in my personal opinion.
A tad emotional about it, but whatever life goes on! 😂
@ladsin, I could not agree more. If we met in rl id buy you a pint.
@Sixgun77 cheers bud
It might be, but I don't think it needs to be racism.
They might have good intentions.
I personally don't like it, if a character is a certain way we got to be loyal to that representation.
As long as I get to play Geraldo, I don't care.
Geralt already cast fam
how is it racist if they are faithful to the book? white, green eyes and ashen hair
What? I’m pretty sure that people of other races aren’t “white” but perhaps you just meant light skinned.
It still wouldn’t matter though. White women are specifically being told not to show up because they want to hire a person of color for this role.
other races? Ciri is a human in the novels, descendant of the Emperor of Nilfgaard (white male) and of the Queen of Cintra (White female), she is the last known descendant of Lara Doren, for fucks sake look read the Wiki at least if you haven't read the books
http://witcher.wikia.com/wiki/Ciri
oh shit i read the question wrong... but no it's not racist to take a woman of color for ciri... it's just stupid
*sigh* that's fucking dumb. Blackwashing. Just like they did to poor old domino in deadpool 2. It's not racist, it's sjw which is worse.
It's also not lore friendly. "Minorities" don't exist to my recollection, due to the fact that it's rooted in Polish and Norse mythology.
I assume you got mad when Jesse from Breaking Bad was cast as Goku right? Or when that twink got casted as Light Yagami in Deathnote right?
I don't watch weeb bullshit.
I was mad when they made spiderman into a 14 year old transgender kid though.
You get mad when Emilia Clarke was cast as Daenerys Targaryen?
I haven't read A Song of Ice and Fire yet so I wouldn't know. If she's supposed to be black or Asian, you're god damned right, I'm pissed off.
she's supposed to have purple eyes. You still pissed off?
Why wouldn't I be?
If a white woman played a black character there would be outrage.
But white women have played Black, Asian, Polynesian, and Hispanic characters so don't even start with that.
@xXiTacoXx So you're going to appropriate white cultures as revenge?
@xXiTacoXx When?
Revenge? Y'all mugs are crazy.
Was Johnny Depp playing "Tonto" revenge. Were "White" people mad about something? Angelina Jolie playing Marianne Pearl?
It wouldn't bother me if people didn't get angry at whites in non-white roles
you know it most likely will be a "black" actor and they will make them totally gay
It’s stupid, I’m sick of people casting non-whites and the wrong gender for certain roles
I dont know I dont watch tv. My life ha improved considerably since I stopped doing that.
RACIST
