oh look people forcing change just so they can prove to everybody they arent racist so they ignore the source material. its going to be interesting when people watch the show then find out that the character is white in the books and games.

funny because the casting call is for a girl that is under the age of 16, im not the one the topic will backfire on.

anyway, i love that this is another subject where people who hate this are called racist. this isnt some crap marvel created and wanting to be diverse, this is based on a polish book but people dont seem to care because " derp polish people are white who cares ".

Welcome to the modern world, Nothing can have only White characters, Nothing can be strictly for Men

Everything has to have minorities, Or has to try and attract a Female fanbase, Otherwise it's racist, Sexist and exclusionary.

Ciri is never said to be white. It only says that she has ashen gray hair and green eyes. People only think she's white because of The Witcher 3.

She's Nilgaardian and Elvish, so they could maybe swing a lightskin black woman or an asian.

With that said, just cast a white woman.

It's kind of true though, and I tend to let a lot of these outrages slide as it's whatever. But Ciri is literally Nilfgaard (White) and Elf (basically white with pointy ears).

If a black character is canonically black, keep them black. Same goes for any other way. It has to do with WHY is it necessary to change the entire race of a character? It doesn't add to the story.

Yes, but in the lore of the Witcher universe, Nilfgaards are white and Elves are basically white too.

The books explicitly said that all Nifgaard and Elves are white skinned?

Yeah figured they would be pulling changes.

Can't wait for Dandelion to be unrecognizable.

Although maybe Yennefer will actually be a good character.

We should have a bet on if Triss stays a red head, considering how often that changes.

I dont care if it is a niche character like jeri from Jessica Jones, which worked, but doing this to a character where it makes no sense to see racial diversity is ridiculous. It just logically doesnt really work and would feel out of place. Otherwise I wouldnt care.

Her parentage in the books are an allegory for Nazis who want to purge everyone who look different from them and look down on lower races.

How does it make any sense for her to bring black?
