      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 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.

          @Snubs I at least try to convince them they're wrong without letting them wallow in victory. Trolls feed on people getting offended.

          @femfreq Would you rather the developers pretend that such sexism didn't exist at that time?

          @JetTheFurry As it adds NOTHING to the game, yes. No reason to include it. Unless for realism, in which also case exclude ALL monsters/magic

          @whorrak The "realism means EVERYTHING must be real" argument is total crap. Realism in interpersonal relations, not setting.

          @KipEnyan There's a difference between overt pro-female messages in-game, and simply NOT explicitly reinforcing sexist messages.
