yeah, i get wanting nationality representation, i guess i'm just confused by people acting like having diversity is... tainting it somehow? like, it doesn't take away representation for polish people and polish culture if there's a few non-white/polish people there in the game too. it doesn't have to be an either/or thing.

Because so often representation becomes checking things off of a list. Do we have the WOC? The LGBT rep? A satisfactory number of female characters?

Storytelling should be organic. That list tends to create some really bad cardboard cutout characters that are worse than no representation at all.

Also? Not everything needs to be a perfect example of representation. This is coming from a non-white, non-straight, non-gender conforming person. Do I want more stories and games about people I can identify with? Absolutely! Do I want them shoved into the background shots of games so that the developers can say they have a diverse cast? No. I've seen that too much.

Let the Witcher be the Witcher and let's talk about making more games featuring POC, LGBT people, non-European based fantasy settings, etc.

Yeah, I get what you mean. As I said, I would definitely like it, if they could include both. Idk, I just really dislike the way the conversation about this was framed.

I kinda hope that this reaction you are describing is mostly a knee-jerk reaction to the things I criticized, but then some people are that racist.

Yeah, most of the anon comments I'm also seeing on my comments sound like racists tbh.
