#oh shit got sucked into A Racism again gotta rethink this whole fandom

[catsconflictscopicsandchamomile]

ok so. idk who OP is and a LOT of things in this video struck me as....EXTREMELY off, ESPECIALLY re: Jaskier  and kind of pitting gay fans AGAINST femme and BIPOC fans (though I might think differently with more context)  but...

other things DO really make sense- i mostly got into The Witcher THROUGH the fandom, and was always kind of, for lack of a better word, bothered by the fact that I could not form a cohesive mental picture of Yennefer despite her being one of the main characters (as in, I literally had no idea that her actress is brown until I watched this). That thing about her being the most popular character to come out of modern fandom if she were a cis white man is.... So Deeply Fucking True. whatever other red flags this video sets off for me, that ALONE makes me wonder if my own biases are making me suspicious of OP’s intentions otherwise.

if OP, anyone who knows/follows OP or has just BEEN in this fandom longer would like to talk to me (not talk AT me) , I would appreciate it.

I guess my only other thoughts here are

 1) people think of Jaskier as ANYthing but a grimy bastard boi? I thought we  liked him bc he’s obnoxious and noisy and just a Messy Little Weird Man. 

2) ....I thought the “witcher trio” was Geralt, Jaskier AND Yennefer- and then Ciri is their KID. like fanonwise it’s “the wticher trio of adults their kid”/” Ciri has a mom and two dads” 

hey i made a video about the witcher fandom being bad and you should watch n reblog it thanks x
