People are complaining of having to stare at a female's body while playing? They prefer looking at at male's butt? That's soooo gay!

I’m a straight male who is very secure in my masculinity. But I’ve gotten shit from people when I use female characters in games. Never understood why that’s a problem.

I usually play as a female character in games too. I prefer to look at pretty things.

What ISN’T woke to conservatives/republicans anymore?

Please don’t answer that, I know the answer, but come on. Pick up a book.

Any person who unironically uses "woke" is a complete douche canoe and can go get fucked. Change my mind.

Wrong way round. The unironic woke is the BLM socially aware activist.

It's since around 2020 woke is mostly used as an insult by douche canoes.

Unpopular opinion:

Witcher 4 won’t be as good as Witcher 3 cause the third one was very good.

So no matter who they chose, it’s probably gonna be underwhelming.

Nah, if the next Witcher MC was Dandelion, that would absolutely be the best one.

I'm sorry, but I still can't help but laugh about the anti-woke Asterion flat-butt mod, and now in my head I just see all anti-woke gamers as jealous flat-butters.

How in the heck would Ciri not be the main character after the events of Witcher 3? Did anyone actually think she wouldn’t be?

I'm mad about Ciri being the main character, however the reason I'm mad is not because of her character or her being a woman. What I'm upset about is that I thought this game would take place in a completely different time period or region. Like maybe during the first witchers? Maybe in the future? But no, CDPR is just force extending existing characters and a story that clearly ended. Zzzzz
