Developing from a pretty, young, “vulnerable” girl that needs saving (even though she’s already tough as hell in TW3) into an older (chud translation: “ugly”) main protagonist fighting back against the patriarchy has these fools spitting with outrage. Here’s hoping CDPR doesn’t give them an inch.

Are there actually people complaining that she’s ugly…? She literally looks like a model, just with some scars.

There are certainly some, but that bit was more about certain creatins on this planet treating any woman nearing 30 as detestable.

She aged naturally! Ugh, she was my hot sexy daughter in Witcher 3! Why would they… Have her grow up?! /s

Only thing I’m hesitant about is the actor, but I’m willing to give her a shot. Minor thing.

I doubt CDPR went into this without knowing how incels would react, and knowing they’ll still buy it. After CP2077 with the whole customize genitals issue (that I’m sure most people had forgotten about), I don’t think CDPR cares. They’re Polish, I hope they laugh at our stupid ass “culture war” bullshit

Don’t kid yourself, the culture war bullshit has been exported worldwide, all thanks to the internet. For instance, there used to be self-declared “LGBTQ-ideology-free zones” in Poland until February this year.

Please stop blaming those things on everything except people. I’m Polish. Polish people drink homophobia with their mothers milk. We didn’t need to import it from US or Russia (it’s still better than in the 90s). Average developer is a young male who predominantly votes for outright fascists. The reason CDPR appears progressive is because they calculated it to be more profitable.
