Sure maybe they're not blue hair cat ladies that are going to pile drive that storyline into the ground.

And maybe my dad will finally find those cigarettes and play ball with me.

But neither of those things are gonna happen.

A lot of people are liking the show to be fair

We got a good meme from it

My friend just thinks in absolutes and he's convinced if you have a problem with some of the people in the witcher being darker skinned that it's absolutely racist

because it didn't explicitly say in the books "everybody is white"

He probably says its racist because the person said they changed the skin tone because they say they hate white people and to some people thats a racist statement, and they're tired of PC bullshit.

hmm I'm not sure that's why, he's a gay guy who's bf is darker skinned and I think that's part of it. For context haha

Also the Witcher has a lot of skin tones and Gerald wanders everywhere, it would be really easy to write a story for it. I just finished Witcher 3 for reference.

well right but

in the books Triss who has red hair

is definitely lighter skinned

Gerry have you heard about the meme that hollywood is passionately racist towards redheads?

And Yennefer too. And the guy who wrote the book is Polish and the folklore in the books is based in Polish stuff so it would make sense for all the characters to be of a particular skin tone wouldn't it?

uh no I have not

Yeah, redheads keep getting blackwashed

I've seen that thing about the teen titans Starfire who's a redhead but also darker skinned

Someone pointed it out to me a few years ago and it's the damnedest thing

I only know of that example

Literally any redhead character gets Blacked in a remake.

Go through remakes and just do a checklist and try to find a remake.

Also did he seriously say that he hates white people and that's why he did it or am I misreading you, Hound?

@Black Cat It was in one of the casting discussions that got a huge amount of negative backlash.

Ciri I think was going to be a strong black woman?

the writer said that?

Lordy!

Also here's a sample Gerry https://imgur.com/gallery/uMfha

It leaks out elsewhere

oh shit right

buuut I heard people say that that MJ from spiderman isn't Mary Jane

just "MJ" for now and mary jane might pop up later

oh yeah I remember all that nonsense happening months ago

You just know that this would explode all over the MSM if they took Black Panther and whitewashed it

but then it came out she wouldn't be darker skinned just "ethnic" or something and in that context apparently "ethnic" meant like Scandinavian or something

so everybody calmed down

interesting

I think the rage made them step back

Because they realized that was going too far, so they got Triss instead.
