Its already ruined
It's not ruined you twat. Who gives a fuck if Geralt puts his cock in a black or brown bitch?
Real medeival Europe really was less white then we imagine, lots of interracial marriages from other rich folks and whatnot among the upper class.
Who cares if a few of the people depicted aren't white? The heroes all are. So it's still realistic enough.
OP is finally correct and not a total fag
Made-up fantasy universe for virgins
>forced inaccurate diversity
Lol come on
Who cares about the bitching of right wing losers. The show was a rousing success and it will move forward and make money regardless of their bitching.
Because niggers are niggers, easy as that. Nothing but trash shit colored humans
>fantasy universe for virgins
This. Fairy tales are more intellectually rigorous.
The real truth is because there is a group of people that believe in this weird fucking thing called "Equality of outcome." In simple it means that they believe the results of all things should be shared equally across a cherry-picked selection of categories which typically include Race, Sexuality, and Gender. Why they choose to pick these things is because they are actually fucking retarded. So when anything in the world is successful and the results are skewed in any of these categories, ESPECIALLY when the results involved STRAIGHT WHITE MALES, they claim corruption. Unfortunately their perspective on the matter does not include hundreds of other categories.... just to name a few.... Competence, Social Connections, Economic Status, Quality of upbringing... etc...
Basically they try to make a case of victimhood by hand-picking a few categories and try to transform this narative as a reason to denigrate successful people while claiming power to themselves.
This is 98% incorrect. Even in true medieval times, race-mixing was taboo. Where are all of the mixed race civilizations? It was nowhere near acceptable.
Because this is /b and rather than admit it's a good show people generally just want to complain about "forced diversity." Despite the fact that this is complete fantasy and the conjunction of the spheres would have brought elves/dwarves etc regardless of skin color. They also like to complain that there aren't any minorities in The Witcher, which is completely false. We've already been introduced to Southeast Asian-like characters in the form of Tea and Vea from Zerrikania. Dark sinned people live on the other side of the Korathi desert. We just don't see them much in the games because it's on the other side of the fiery mountains and the game maps and settings have been relatively limited. TW3 took place mostly in Velen, which is a region known for discriminating against anyone who isn't white or human so obviously Korathi and Zerrikanian people wouldn't be fucking around there. Then there is the beef people have with Triss and Yen. Ana Schaffer isn't even black, she has dark skin and most of her heritage is German. In the books Triss's hair isn't even red, it's auburn which is a shade of red brown. If you look at Anna's hair in the scenes that aren't dark as fuck you can actually see she has auburn highlights anyway. As for Anya Chalotra as yen, she is technically Indian, but who gives a flying fuck she doesn't even look Indian in the show. Furthermore, who gives a flying fuck because Yen is a cunt anyway. Don't listen to /b's opinions on anything involving The Witcher most people on this board are either trolling or aren't familiar with the lore.
WTF is a witcher
Praise jeebus
soyboys are mad because their video game movie is being ruined by non whites
A book that was developed into a game by CDPR, and then adapted into a Netflix series. Try watching like the first three episodes. Even if you don't like the stabbing/monsterslaying/adventuring you'll at least get to look at some b00bs.
Confirmed dumb nigger trash
Because sometimes things are slow over at Cred Forums and you have to keep busy when not cowering in fear of the scary jooze.
Agrees, but it's based off the books I can't stress that enough. That's why they've been able to kind of work it how they wanted to, and Sapkowski is happy with what they're doing with the IP.

That's not true at all, medieval Europe was not very diverse at all.. unless you include other white Europeans or Mediterranean traders. Several historians have debunked and hit out a the notion of medieval Europe being diverse with different races. There was actually one black african guy who was caught as a slave by berbers.. and managed to get to England via being bought by some noble due to the English having never seen a black person before. He ended up in the kings court because he was so unique.
The novels were written in the 90s. Apparently its sacred European mythology now.
Roman empire.

The book doesn't fucking take place in Medieval Europe. Just because it borrows Polish lore doesn't mean it takes place in fucking Poland. Temeria isn't a real place. Oh yeah, I totally remember that time the Conjunction of the Spheres brought a bunch of elves to Europe and then the fucking drowners and Wyverns started trying to maul everyone.
It's FANTASY. Have an imagination, dude.
Which is a fantasy dimension in which humans were transported, Presumably from our dimension and left to fend for themselves for thousands of years amongst hostile non human species
I don't know if /b can differentiate between fantasy and reality. It's quite sad.
Muh...I read a history book once, so my bullshit isn't abject racism.
It's a fantasy based on slavic folklore and medieval european history.. there is no mention of niggers in the books, there are people described as looking like north africans, not sub Saharan black. Fantasy or not, this is forced diversity.. also elves translated to it's original germanic meaning means white being.. yet there are absolute captain philips tier nogs playing elves. Stop trying to justify it you mongoloid.
>Real medeival Europe really was less white then we imagine, lots of interracial marriages from other rich folks and whatnot among the upper class.
Bruh
Imagibe being this indoctrinated into pozzed history. European royalty were white. Even Turkish royalty was white and they didnt marry ottomans. There were virtually no black and brown people in europe pre 1800s
Thank god they made lord of the rings in 2003 and didnt force black people into it. Feels like an actually believable world it does
People still mostly stayed with their own. There wasn't mass migration in the same way we have today. Most people were born and died in their home states
You just said it yourself. Based on. The setting is BASED on. But they explicitly mention in the books that saharan like dark skinned people live on the other side of the Korathi desert and Zerrikanians appear brown skinned EG southeast asian/indian. Get. Tea and Vea are both characters introduced from Zerrikania that could be interpreted as black/brown depending on ho you want to read the book. Do you even hear yourself? You are willing to believe in folklore about the existence of monsters, but can't comprehend that during the Conjunction of the Spheres that only white people are going to be displaced? Come on, man.
The upcoming series has nogs in it
Are you joking. That's so unrealistic. Most of the planet isn't white. It's literally subverting reality.
And it's about fuuuuuucking time.
if you complain about a character not being white. you are whats wrong with Hollywood
People are people. They always have something they can complain about. The difference is that some don't open their mouths and let that shit out onto the internet.
It doesn't need much help ruining itself. Fucking brain dead retards like it because they never played the games. If they did how could they like an inferior product. Know something better than the show? The books. Get to readin' you brainlets.
It's funny because the same people who talk shit on /b are the same people who are so passive IRL you probably wouldn't even notice they are there.
Based on Polack myth. Also seeing a nigger in chain mail breaks the suspension of disbelief.
are you actually retarded? the people described as being darker skinned are described as looking like north africans/middle eastern.. not black. I am complaining about the forced diversity, adding niggers for the sake of adding niggers to appease silly cunts such as yourself. If something is based on medieval europe, and takes inspiration from the folklore of probably the whitest part of europe.. niggers have no place being in that story. The books describe in detail people being white, for example.. yennefer was described as being unnaturally pale. It's like a series of books based on african folklore in which the characters are described as being black as night getting a netflix adaptation.. and then most of the characters being played by blonde haired white people.. it's fucking stupid.
>Know something better than the show? The books.
Eh, they were okay at best.
>Based on Polack myth.
Elf = Norse
Druid = Celtic
There are more but you don't care about mythology so fuck off.
I was expecting a total shitshow by what people said but it's not really bad, an entertaining show, not every new thing that comes out is going to be the new GOT.
Settings were nice, effects pretty good for a show, casting of Geralt, Ciri and Jennfer is pretty good, who gives a damn about a couple other characters not being the color you like ?
>Eva Green would be a better Jennefer
No shit, but you don't have infinite production money.
Sounds to me like you're just a nazi, dude. It's fantasy and Sapkowski himself approves. Get with the fucking program, dipshit. I restate, Zerrikanians are described as being Southeast Asian, Korathi people are generally accepted as black. If it's so accurate to Europe, please explain the fiery mountains and the FUCKING DESERT THAT'S LITERALLY RIGHT ON THE OTHER SIDE. It is FANTASY. You're being selective about what you choose as believable or not based on biases you already have and clearly a very deep seated love of racism. If we could load every person like you on to a space capsule and jettison you all into fucking space the world MIGHT be a better place.
>No shit, but you don't have infinite production money.
That's also a fantastic point. That's why a lot of these actors were people who don't have massive IMDB pages etc. Considering the budget and all of the work they did with it, I'd consider it exceptional for what it is. Every other film or TV adaptation has been shit. Yeah, it's not the best show ever, but it's good and a faithful enough interpretation that it at least deserves some credit. If you don't like it don't fucking watch it. It's not like anyone is strapping you to a chair and holding your eyelids open with toothpicks.
Zerrikanians are described as looking north african you dumb cunt, so stop pulling things out of your ass. The korathi aren't accepted as black, so there is another lie.. also the desert is said to be a very, very long way away.. so there is another. Also, calling me a nazi.. nice buzzword dummy.. go stick your head in a bucket and take deep breaths you embarrassment.
>If you don't like it don't fucking watch it. It's not like anyone is strapping you to a chair and holding your eyelids open with toothpicks.
What about my emotional investment in the show? Does that count for nothing? They are hurting my feelings by making me look at brown colors.
>make bad show
>people say it's bad
WHY ARE YOU TRYING TO RUIN GREAT SHOW!!! IS IT BECAUSE YOUR A RACOST!@
Thank. You. Sir. Also anyone who says Dryads can't be black are just wrong. Dryads are from Greek mythology and the Greeks had a lot of direct contact with Africans (they referred to all Africans as Ethiopians, but whatever.)
This. The "Europe wuznt wite" thing is politically-driven pseudo-history, constructed with carefully and willfully selected evidence
>it's good
So people on Cred Forums are just actually stupid now?
Oh boy. Okay, so let's assume that Zerrikania is ENTIRELY based on North Africa. So, since you need to have everything in your fantasy universe completely based in reality (because apparently you have no imagination) it's still likely there would be black people. Egyptians etc used slaves from other parts of the continent for a shitload of things, so there has ALWAYS been black Africans in Northern Africa. So even if all the Zerrikanians and Korathi aren't totally black, some of them still would be by your own logic. ALSO, the desert is NOT a long way away as you say, it's on the other side of the Fiery Mountains. It is not FAR it is VAST and those are completely different things. Check yourself before you wreck yourself. This stuff is actually totally glossed over in the fucking books, so so much of it is completely subjective depending on how you read the text. Like I said before, have some fucking imagination.
>Goes back to watching the mandalorian
An hero
The greeks/macedonians/cretans etc.. kept a few nubians as slaves, black people were not respected in ancient greece as the ancient greeks were extremely xenophobic.. they believed in democracy and rights for citizens, but only for greek citizens.. They also didn't refer to all africans as Ethiopians.. they didn't even know 3/4 of Africa even existed. Aethopia which is what some greek states referred to it as was what is now today maghreb region.. e.g, parts of libya/syria/morroco etc.. places where they are brown skinned, not black. The only africans the greeks were in contact with regularly was the egyptians who were also Hellenistic.. and the egyptians used nubians who were black as slaves.
We're on /b. We're all stupid. It comes with the territory.
I'm not arguing with retards anymore, there is no point.. the mental gymnastics you are going through is shocking.
This is all fine. My point is though there still would have been black people (even if they were few) that would have been displaced with North Africans during the Conjunction of the Spheres. This is what I'm saying it's not in any way based in reality, so there is literally zero reason to support the non existence of black people in The Witcher. It's not like it was a selective event that displaced only whites, because we know for a fact there are dark skinned people in the books. I just don't see how Dryad's couldn't be black. Technically, if you wanted to be completely true to mythology they would have complexion and hair color that changed seasonally. I'm not particularly picky about how my magic tree people are represented.
The mental gymnastics I'm going through? I'm not the one trying to jump through hoops to pretend that black people couldn't exist in an entirely fictional universe, dude.
>who were black as slaves.
My sides. I read this as a simile.
hue
Where do you think you are?
I don't see these faggots complaining about Idris Elba being Heimdall
The dude was straight up norse as it gets. Show me one black dude named Heimdall who was born before the thor films.
Its. A. Fucking. TV. Show.
Beethoven was a deaf nigger.
A nigger has been an emperor of Rome before.
Niggers get places, even into stuff you don't want them to. That's why they are called niggers It comes from niggardly.
You can either let the niggers in and they won't come or you can prohibit them and get your shit stole en masse.
Good point lol
Extremely racist, but somehow the sentiment is solid lol. 10/10
nice bait, ill bite a bit
its about accuracy to the franchise, for example, i would have less problems with Fringilla if she would look like Yennefer... and Yenn has already been race changed... because in the books and game Fringenigra is being considered to be the spitting image of Yenn, so much that Gerry fucked Frinigga because of the resemblance, now tell me, do these women even look alike in the netflix show?
now i like the actress of Yen, she did a good job, Fringilla and especially Triss tho? horrible performances... if you wanna raceswap because you are so brainwashed in your fake neo liberal identity politics bullshit, at least hire good actresses and actors... fucking black elf bois with afros man... my 4 year old cousin did a better performance when he told us that he didnt keyed his fathers car... while still holding the keys...
TBH I'm fine with the Triss casting because she's pretty inconsequential in the books anyway. Fringilla is the only casting choice that I honestly don't understand for the exact reason you just mentioned. But, that being said, it's not a clone of the book so they took liberties and I can pretty much guarantee you they would never get into Geralt fucking Fringilla anyway, so I'm not too worried about it. Her performance was very cardboard-y though. I feel like Anna's performance is largely situational though. She's a good actor, they just need to give her more to work with and more screen time.
Also it's impossible to say there aren't any black elves when they were displaced during the Conjuction of the Spheres and displaced all over the continent. Elves exist in all different cultures and mythologies, and some are black, EG Dark Elves in germanic lore, so it's possible.
No ones trying to ruin anything.
When you make white characters black and in the case of the elves, black and oppressed (who isn't tired of that false narrative), just for the sake of diversity is not a good idea.
You're not giving a fair representation of the writers work. Its unfair to him as well as the actors that would have been employed had Hollywood not forced diversity into a non diverse piece of fiction.
Should we make Shaft white?
How about we make James Bond Asian?
Lets make medieval Poland full of Aricans.
Or early America full of Chinese.
There has to be black elves. The canon says humanity exists because of human men fucking elf women. If there are no black elves there are no niggers anywhere in the whole world. I can't remember the exact chapter but it's in the cave place where the witcher meets and elf painting a purple bison to hide the elvish statues.
>Lets make medieval Poland full of Aricans.
The setting is not polish inspired nor is the mythology. It's not african but it's not polish so stop this.
>who isn't tired of that false narrative
Kek if you think black people were never oppressed you really are retarded. By all means go on hating them if it makes you happy but get the facts right.
