Can someone who is well-versed in Witcher lore confirm or deny whether Geralt has albinism? He is listed on the wiki page for characters with albinsim, but seeing as every character with albinism that I know of isnt included, I dont trust the list very much…

#the wiki says that experimental mutagens caused geralt to lose all of his body pigmentation #but is this process more similar to a character whose hair goes gray under stress than someone with albinism?#i mean youre born with albinism so having it be the result of experiments later in life is highly unrealistic #but this is a fantasy series we are talking about so i accept that logic works a bit differently #but im tired of seeing characters “with albinism” who only have the appearance of a PWA #while things like vision issues and light sensitivity are completely ignored #i never wouldve guessed that geralt has albinism tbh #probably because of his yellow eyes #i just thought that he had a fantasy characters color scheme with wolf like features and whatnot #but if hes actually a PWA then i would consider reading the books #i am so starved for (good) albinism representation #bunny babbles #geralt of rivia #the witcher #albinism
