Update: Latest rumor shows casting for a white Ciri | Original: Netflix looking for non-white actress to play Ciri in the Witcher tv series

Not sure if I should post this because I've seen people get banned from this place for less, but:

The whole outrage in this thread:

Seriously, folks. you guys are blowing this WAY out of proportion. Like, this 'controversy' is so unimportant but is only being treated as being important because of some made-up tribalistic us vs them mentality that makes the world a shitty place. Everyone needs a heavy dose of perspective, many of you really do need to get a life if THIS upsets you, and there are far, FAR more important things out there that deserve your hate. A white character getting a non-white portrayal is so unimportant in the grand scheme of things that EVEN WITHIN the realm of first world problems this is a sadly pathetic stance to take. 

Wait and see. Don't pre-judge based on skin color regardless. Wait and see what the reason is and wait until the artists have completed their art to determine it racist or sexist or SJW propoganda. All you're doing is fuelling the internet hate machine and frankly you should all be ashamed of yourself. 

Grow up. Get some perspective. Wait to see what happens before leaping in with assumptions about the creator's intentions. And, if it turns out your concerns were well-founded and they DO misunderstand the themes and elements of the story and somehow fucked it up by casting Ciri wrong, then go ahead and be critical then and only because of the poor adaptation, not because a non-white person got a traditionally white role. 

Like, seriously, holy shit. I shouldn't have to make this sort of statement.
