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.

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. -
@Dani3po
@femfreq but sexism from fictional characters does not necessarily make the work of art or the writer sexist themselves.

@TheMistressJ@femfreq We want OPTIONS. We want MORE than just the misogyny options. Jesus Christ that isn't so fucking much to ask -

@femfreq also, those same miscreants who are yelling at you are getting their torso split in half by your sword, so what's the problem again -
@CaseyDtoid that it's still obnoxious, unnecessary, lazy, and adds nothing to the play experience? -

@Vcom74182@CaseyDtoid lol there's that "realism" nonsense again. Tell that to the witches and ghouls. -
@jeffreymfoster@Vcom74182 Um, hate to break it to you but if fantasy had no real world context whatsoever it would be called sci fi. -
@jeffreymfoster@Vcom74182 every fantasy novel ever bases its races, locations, and origin stories on real life parallels. TRU FAX. -
@CaseyDtoid@Vcom74182 So if thugs yell "DIE" instead of "BITCH" the game would transform into a SCIENCE FICTION game instead of FANTASY? - 6 more replies

@femfreq Sad thing is there likely wasn't a moment when they said to themselves: How will women feel about this? - 1 more reply
