  Typical girlboss character. In the books all she did was bake cookies for Geralt and now she has a sword of course.

    She a boring normal protagonist? “So WOKE! No point in even making it a woman!!!”

    If she is some badass with special abilities? “So WOKE! Can’t even be a normal woman!”

    Women really can’t win with conservatives. (I know you’re being sarcastic)

  Those with no common sense, spines, or anything else maybe. I’m pretty hyped!

  Nobody complained when Tomb Raider came out that you played as a woman, and this was post Indiana Jones… The ‘og’ tomb raider.

    It’s because she was properly written & established & the character was fun

      She also wasn’t replacing an established male lead character, she was her own thing.

      A large world like the Witcher switching protagonists should be the a good setting for switching up a lead character.

  Certainly “Woke” something in me. 😏

  If it’s obvious that this is just a typical “replace established male characters with yas, queen slay female character” writing then they’ll be proven right

    They’ve been building her up for the entire series. She’s playable in 3.

    That’s why complaining about this would be such a joke

  Having not played any in the series but having them on my to-play list, this was my first thought. No matter how great it is, there will always be people who see a protagonist who doesn’t look like them and call it woke.
