In The Witcher 3 you get to play as Ciri for short segments but be warned enemies will yell nasty gendered insults at her while she fights.

Also the "it's realistic for enemies to sexually harass female characters” excuse is nonsense in fantasy games filled with ghouls & wraiths.

Dear gaming industry: If you want to appeal to women maybe consider not having your game yell “bitch" and "whore” at us while we’re playing.
-
Enemies in Witcher 3 yell gendered insults at the playable female character but insults thrown at the male lead are decidedly not gendered.
-
Enemies call Geralt “freak” & “mutant’ due to fictional prejudice against magic. When they call Ciri “cunt” it’s rooted in real life sexism.
-
@femfreq nope... she's a fictional character. Therefore it's fictional sexism too. (And the insults hurled at Geralt abs elves is racism). -

@femfreq Birth Of A Nation. Clearly racist as it depicts racism as a good thing, with the racists as heroic. -
@Dani3po
@femfreq in fact... the original Witcher game - as great as it is - went WAY too far with its sex cards. - 1 more reply

@femfreq sounds terrifying. Thugs at my place are always very helpful and generally good. Haven't heard a single swear word from them. - 1 more reply

@femfreq The game is set in the 1200s. Historically women weren't treated with respect at that time. Those names were commonplace. -

@MrRoberts666
@bickzyy nope. Are you saying "This would be way better if they called her names" is your criteria for good gameplay? -
@vsRobots @MrRoberts666 "all this game needs is a dash of homophobia now...oh! the gay character will be called a freak and oucasted!" -
@bickzyy @MrRoberts666 "the game mechanics are great with hours of adventure, if only there were more historically accurate insults" 2/5
