No, they didn't

were casting internationally (which means lots of emails and self-tapes) and because we know by now the internet keeps no secrets, the writing staff has instead created entirely new scenes for our main characters. These are written to illustrate the precise tone, vibe, depth, and emotional resonance we need from Geralt and friends but voila! They are spoiler-free, for us and for you. Which means if you start seeing Witcher scenes floating around the internet in the coming weeks yes, theyre probably real! But no, they wont give anything away as to the stories were telling, or the ways were telling them. Youre safe. For now.


Why didn't they

What's up with the trend of race swapping these days? Makes no sense.

Ciri, MJ (yeah, it wasn't actually Mary Jane Watson, but still), Starfire, Hermione. And then there are the people clamoring for a black James Bond and the ones that wanted Donald Glover for Peter Parker.

Make your own characters.

It's weird. They claim to be fighting for black people to be seen as equal but at the same time they think black people can't invent their own characters and need to race change white ones. Which makes the people clamoring for race changes to seem racist

complaining about black-washing, white-washing, or any other variety of -washing is the stupidest shit in the universe, particularly in cases where the character's race plays absolutely no factor into their existence. at no point in either the books nor the games is the fact ciri is white in them held to any sort of importance

i dont remember people bitching about the fact that geralt didnt look like a weird frumpy 60s fantasy cover hero like Sapkowski wanted him to in the games, nor the fact that he wasn't missing most of an ear and that he didn't move with a bad leg. And that's totally fine because that's the way they wanted to portray Geralt. Ciri not being caucasian is no more important than that shit and you being tired of seeing nonwhites is not a valid criticism that anyone cares to do anything with except mock

Fringilla healed it while he was there just so he could serve her a little bit better, but it wasn't a permanent thing and he mentions in the book that it goes back to hurting him once he leaves.

I think its fine to cast a black woman as Ciri if the best actress for the role happens to be black.

But thats not what theyre doing. Theyre specifically seeking out someone black just to check a box.

yea. supposedly they outright refused to even consider any white actresses. they literally said "anyone can be this role except for white people"

so it was not "the best actress for the role"
