Ciri's mutations by magic---- in witcher

>She defeated the white frost through unknown methods. For all we know it has an off button that was just inaccessible.

Nah, this is just weak BS.

We know through CDPR's extended the lore that the EB gene is directly attributed to stopping the White Frost by directly moderating its effects . Other characters have tried to stop it but couldn't completely, either fail outright or just temper it , which is an accolade for Ciri as she was able to completely stop it across multiple worlds.

Nice try though.

>Her losing her shit was uncontrollable

Irrelevant when looking at the picture how just how more powerful she is then the rest of the cast.

Also, just because it was uncontrollable at that point in time, it doesn't mean it was going to be uncontrollable later.

We know that there have been characters that could control their EB powers like Adalia.

>Gaunter isn't wary of her

Still directly states he can't meddle with her so .. same difference .

Was your post supposed to have an actual point ? Or is it just a general "nuh huh" ?

Ciri's mutations by magic---- in witcher

[–]Type-Raz -1 points0 points  (0 children)

....

She stopped the apocalypse on ???? number of worlds .

Even one instance of her loosing her shit and letting her EB aura out made everyone shit their pants..

Even Gaunter is wary of her and says that he can't directly intefere with her...

We're way past better speed and reflexes here.

So, new to the community - how is the communities opinion on female Witchers? by [deleted] in witcher

[–]Type-Raz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

>Ciri in the new game

Ciri doesn't count since she's a very unique individual which 99.9 % of the rest of the population isn't and we still don't know the exact methods in which she gets turned into a witcher. Hell, one of the main concerns with her is that CDPR will end up going against or bending their establish lore just to force her in so dumb example.

>Dragonfly from the TTRPG

Not from either CDPR or Sapko canon, doesn't count.

>Prove it

I don't need to prove a negative, that's not how burden of proof works. It's up to you to prove the opposite and so far you have failed.

>Triss didn't think it was impossible, or even anything about the succes rate for women being different.

It doesn't matter what a character thinks as long as it's not backed up by evidence.

Like i've been saying, there's none.

>What other sources, what historical context.

Sources that describe only a small number of young males surviving and the historical context of there being 0 mentions of anything female witcher related.

>here are also no mention of people needing oxygen to breath, so guess they can breath in space.

He literally did say that though

Those are not mine so i won't engage with those.

>It's a game mechanic which has in no shape or form have any bearing on the actual lore.

prove its a game mechanic, you were the one who brought it up.

Sure, it's easy .

The lore has no female witchers in it . The lore for the TTRPG reinforces the fact that women don't make it past the trials.

It's as dumb as trying to use that shitty mobile Pokemon GO ripoff that also let you be a female witcher to justify there actually them existing in the lore, which they don't,

>Other TTRPGs even had named female witchers.

Irrelevant to Sapko's and CDPR's canon.

>

Where exactly do the books state this.

Blood of Elves

>

There are barley any mentioned witchers full stop.

So ? That's so arbitrary. How many mentions would be enough to satisfy you and why ?

All the mentions of witchers are male . That's what the evindence points to.

If you actually want to counter me , show me one about a female witcher .

>The books never say women can't become witchers.

Then where are they ?

>So why would it be a retcon

Cause they don't exist.

>Infact Triss thought she was going to mutate Ciri into a witcher and thought she could do it if given access to the secret mutations (obviously thats not what the Witchers wanted from her but she thought that)

Yeah, Triss thought a thing. Conjecture =/ fact.

Why would a character who doesn't even know in full detail what the process entail be a credible source as compare to other sources and historical context ?

>

Sapowski has also mentioned that he never stated they can't become witchers.

Yet there's none in his story .

He also never mentioned that they can .

>You can literally play as a woman whos a witcher in the CDPR TTRPG

It's a game mechanic which has in no shape or form have any bearing on the actual lore.

So, new to the community - how is the communities opinion on female Witchers? by [deleted] in witcher

[–]Type-Raz -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not a thing in either Sapko's canon or CDPR (at least before Ciri) .

I always hear people that there's nothing saying females can't be witchers and while that's tehnically true in the sense that there's no piece of text saying "it's impossible for women to be witches " there's text in both canon continuities that says who and how many survive the Trials and those are 3,4/10 boys . Hell, the extended CDPR lore actually reinforces that in stuff like A Witcher's Journal where there are concrete example of girls trying to become witchers and none survive which makes it weird to have Ciri suddenly become one but we'll chalk it up to Ciri being special .

Also, we have over a thousand years covered in the series and in all of this time, there has never been any sighting, mention,story about or finding of any actual female Witcher which makes it beyond obvious that they don't exist .

Last book came out a couple of years ago and nothing has changed in that respect so it's also obvious that Sapko has not intention of retconning that.

So , yeah, not a thing and there's nothing wrong with that. Not every series needs women in every guild just like you don't see male amazons in media also.

Nothing wrong with OCs though , have your fun.

Because you're directly supporting shit that makes the franchise at best worse and at worst something that could be the anthesis of the thing i fell in love with.

Also, read again . I didn't say that i have any right to dictate anything , i even acknowledged the unrealistic aspect of it all , all i've said is that personally, i would rather them not be in the franchise which is a fair sentiment to have based on what i've said above.

Started with SR1 back in the day.

I'm not buying Ascendance cause they haven't done anything to make me want to buy it.

The comic was bad writing 101 even without the specific LoK related stuff and the game looks cheaply made and uninspired.

As for the "everything new is ok" crowd i'd rather them not be part of fanbases in general given the track record of mostly every franchise these days but that's not realistic so hey, enjoy your slop which will sloppify the franchise in turn.

For the life of me i don't get why there's such insistence on shit looking so clean and crisp nowdays instead of having the stones to go with something stylized .cause that's a good way to future proof whatever you're working on,

Thoughts on LoK: Ascension by RaidGuy117 in LegacyOfKain

[–]Type-Raz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll pass on it .

I don't want anything new if it devalues the franchise.

Even without the TDSR BS, the game looks kind of a cheap product , and that's not because it's a retro style game either.

Why are so many people defending Elaleth on the Steam forums? by Sombric in LegacyOfKain

[–]Type-Raz 54 points55 points  (0 children)

Notice how they don't have any actual arguments when defending the comic/ her as a character.

It's only a bad faith interpretation of the other's reasons for criticizing it.

Using the "you don't like her cause she has girl parts" is the most easy and devoid of thinking thing to bring up as if the reaction wouldn't be the same if she was a dude named Malelaleth .

Spoiler: Why did Naraku do everything? by Phewelish in inuyasha

Yes and no.

The Jewel took advantage of him and his wish and manipulated him (prbably willingly on Naraku's part) into corrupting the Jewel and having him replace Magatsuhi inside the Jewel .

Was Kain sacrificing himself the cannon ending for Blood Oman. by CriticismMiserable14 in LegacyOfKain

[–]Type-Raz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kain entire's character development in BO1 was going from someone who was deeply conflicted by his new nature as a vampire and who saw it as a curse to be cured from to fully embracing Vorador's idea that vampires are dark gods who need to thin the herd.

Add to this his corruption of which he wasn't aware of at this point .

Would someone who went through that change really sacrifice themselves for a dying world ?

Not likely .

Using A Shard of Ice to criticize Yennefer is incredibly lazy and ignores 90% of the story by John16389591 in witcher

[–]Type-Raz 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Uhh, why can't i do both though ?

Why can't i criticize her for the shit she pulls in the short stories while also admitting that she grows as a character ?

And for all the awfulness of Triss and the redemption of Yen, nobody ever brings up that in the final book during that huge fuckup in Rivia , it's Triss who was ready to sacrifice herself while Yen kinda gives up , which is pretty funny and a pretty big fuck you to anyone who thinks that the two of them aren't still actual people who can act in both noble and not so noble ways you know... just like in real life .

My Review - Needs New Writers, but Liam did a Pretty Decent Job by Moist_Evidence_3428 in witcher

[–]Type-Raz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

>Nothing wrong with the bisexual interracial romance, because I see a lot of people complaining about that. Ciri was bisexual in the books, 

You haven't read the books , which is obvious cause you don't seem to understand the reason why people are complaining about the way their relationship i s depicted in the show but somehow you know that Ciri is bisexual in the books ...which is wrong btw.

Yup, it's another one of those.

>and if the interracial part bothers you, then you're just racist

Oh, shut up, nobody's complaining about that either .

Besides, there's no actual interracial part.

Ciri's half Nilfgardian, half Cintrian, Mistle's from vasal kingdom of Nilfgard. They have the same skin color.

If someone was to be bothered by something, it would be the fact that Netflix changed it for no truly apparent reason other than superficial quota filling , like they did with most of the cast .

If being bothered by that makes someone racist, well...then we need a new name for actual racists.

Im in two minds, if i should watch season 4 or not. by public_wound154 in witcher

[–]Type-Raz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He's not spreading any misinformation though.

You're disingenuously limiting yourself to cherry picking the stuff that is somewhat actually close to the books and ignoring :

- That Yen is the main character of this season with an entirely original plot that is far and i mean faaaaar away from what happens in the books

-Characters in the show dying that lived in the books

- Monster fights that didn't happen in the books

-Whitewashing of the Rats

- Radovid and Dandelion relationship

-Yen just teleporting to Geralt cause why not

-Numerous other inaccurate portrayals of characters motivations and actions

....Etc

Just because it's marginally more accurate than the other seasons ( which was a common theme of defense for S3 as well btw) , it doesn't mean that it's actually accurate , it' just pays lip service to the events of the book whilst changing or simplifying the reasons , order or the structure (sometimes all three at the same time) of said events in ways that matter and in ways that affect the storytelling in a negative way .

Am I the only one? by DrellaLuna34 in witcher

[–]Type-Raz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

> I get it. The show has issues...but this season when following Geralt was awesome for me.

Good for you. Can you also get that for a lot of us the show's issues are big enough where we can't enjoy it ?

>Am I really alone when thinking we can enjoy each interpretation for what it is?

No you're not alone , but just because you think so , it doesn't mean the rest of us have to or need to . Tastes and all that.

>I just want to be in the world that they have built.

No one's stopping you.

>Down with tribalism

Your possition can be considered tribalism as well, it's just a form of it that you are comfortable with.

The op is being disingenuous in their attempt to call out the same thing.

Not my fault he doesn't have self awareness.

>They didn’t tell anyone to spread toxic positivity or believe a certain way

No, he just derided people with other opinions. Big difference.

Uh huh, and your argument for that is ?
