      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.

      The Witcher 3 does to Ciri what Arkham City did to Catwoman. Thugs yell “bitch” and “whore” and sexually harass both women as you play them.

      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).

          @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.

          @CaseyDtoid @Vcom74182 So if thugs yell "DIE" instead of "BITCH" the game would transform into a SCIENCE FICTION game instead of FANTASY?
