"You can't just have Geralt for every single game" says his voice actor, and if you think The Witcher 4 making Ciri the protagonist is "woke," then "read the damn books" (www.gamesradar.com)

I don't think sarcasm is the problem. The bad actors are. In fact i think sarcasm is more necessary than ever:

  1. If we don't understand what is and IS NOT sarcasm, the opinions of bad actors won't be laughed at. If they aren't actively laughed at they'll be encouraged by the idea that they're being taken seriously.
  2. If people don't learn to recognize bullshit with friends(in a safe environment) then they're going to fail to differentiate the truth elsewhere where it can truly hurt them and those around them.
