For a long time I have been working hard at drowning out all the SJW bullshit that is constantly spewed in mainstream media. My biggest issue has been with the constant crying and complaining about everything; primarily things that don't matter. Recent examples include people picking fault with FRIENDS, and now even Adam Sandler in his older films is being targeted a problematic. All the movements, the protests, the pickets over bullshit that does not matter. Fabricating issues, finding problems where none exist just so they can feel important and cry about something to play the victim with their virtue signalling.
But as much as I try to drown it out, sometimes it cannot help but hit me in the fucking face like Thor staving my head in with Mjolnir.
What am I getting at? The Witcher Netflix series.
I have been soooooo fucking hyped to see this, so eager to see how they handle the lore and narrative that I have become so invested in and love so much. The beautiful Polish folklore, the Eastern European and Slavic culture. Make no mistakes, I fucking adore The Witcher; hell, when I played The Witcher III it catapulted it straight to the forefront of my favourite games of all time. And it's stayed there threatened only by TESV Skyrim. The escapades and adventures of the Butcher of Blaviken, the amazing Ciri and the mysterious Yennefer. This story that dragged me in, emotionally fucked me, and spat me back out leaving me wanting more. CDPR really set a high bar, and when I read the books by Andrzej Sapkowski I could really appreciate the time, effort and scrutiny that had gone into fully realising the Witcher universe in the games.
And here we are now, with you perhaps wondering where I'm going with this?
Well, the SJW's and the Forced Diversity Squad have seemingkly taken a royal shit all over the franchise that I love so much. A recently leaked casting advert for the show stipulated they are looking for a strictly BAME (Black, Asian, Ethnic Minority) to play the role of Ciri. Now to some this likely seems an overreaction, but for anyone fully versed and immersed in the lore of the series, and the Witcher universe will agree, that this is fucking horseshit.
Let's take a quick look at the description of Ciri from the Witcher books:
"Now it’s our turn, thought Geralt. He was right. The officer stared at Ciri. His eyes shone through the opening in his visor, watching everything without missing a detail. Her paleness. The scar on her cheek. The blood on her sleeve and hands. The white streaks in her hair."
And now at the CDPR representation of Ciri in the Witcher game series:
Why the fuck would you cast a BAME to play this role?!
The Witcher is set in medieval Poland; a heavily Slavic culture with little to no representation of BAME's. That is not racist, and there is nothing racist about expecting the Netflix series to stay true to the origins and lore that are already established in the universe. Much like casting Frodo Baggins as a Chinese man, or casting a white lady to portray the Black Panther. It's retarded, and it's purpose is nothing more than forced diversity into a series that does not require it.
So yes, today I am pissed off at SJW's. Today I am largely considering the possibility that I will not be bothering to watch the Netflix show I had been so hyped up to see because all the way through I will be thinking "this is such bullshit".
Fuck SJW's.
