The_Ivory_Man posted... Why bring that up though in a post about actual discrimination? If a group in Assam India made a movie featuring Hindi characters, but didn't cast any Hindi people. People would be right to assume something and going "a Bollywood film isn't discriminating against Indians" doesn't really address what is actually happening. --- "Just because someone is killed doesn't mean they died" - Shojikan ...

I'm a Liberal and I tend to agree with diversity in films. With that said, all the people in this thread vehemently defending this decision and attacking those who are against it come off as extremely annoying. It's not a difficult concept to understand that if a character is clearly white, leave them white.
Just like if a character is clearly black, leave them black. If they're clearly Asian or Hispanic, leave them as Asian or Hispanic. "Oh noes all these alt righters!!! Why can't they let us change everyone to a different race to show how n9t racist we are!!??" This couldn't be farther from the truth. --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

It's weird that they want to erase the character's Polish background, as if Polish people haven't been marginalized and hidden enough in media. Imagine if they made Black Panther's sister white just for the sake of diversity. It makes no sense in the context of who she is or where she is from; it's an emotionally-based decision based on affirmative action. She would have been out of place and it would have made no sense for her to be white, just how it would make zero sense for Ciri to be black given all we know about the character and her history. Why can't Polish people have their thing?
Not that it REALLY matters, but it just sucks that there seem to be two different set of rules on how you are supposed to cast actors and actresses. --- SaGa Frontier is my favorite game series :) ... Copied to Clipboard!

Ugh.. this needs to stop.
Casting needs to fit how the character is described by the source material. Or cast who is best! For the role. The fact they are specifically looking for a just for a minority is disgusting, stop casting them just for the sake of diversity and instead cast who performs the best and fits the character for the role. --- ...dusk is the time when men whisper of matters about which they remain silent in the full light of the sun. https://imgur.com/aCDRb27 ...

But Geralt isn't Polish. The author is. The author is involved with the Netflix show. Moreso than the games.
The Witcher is a setting with several regions and nations. There are several liberties the games took with the story too. To the point where the author doesn't even consider them canon. --- Kind Regards, Darmik ... Copied to Clipboard!
