"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)

This is the first I've heard of this game being deemed woke.

Didn't you hear? Ciri is older and therefore ugly now. The worst offence that a designer could make for a female character.

If a game has a non-white or non-male protagonist, it's automatically "woke."
