Everytime, the issue is not the skin or gender or hair color itself, but those decisions are just representative of how few f*cks the directors give about the shows, and it's usually obvious when you watch it.

Sort of like in Preacher.  They changed a white, blonde lady from the comics and made her black for the show.

Yet for three seasons, the show has been praised by critics and audiences alike, according to RT, despite deviations from the source material. 

It is hard to be convinced that the issue is”not the skin or gender” when people keep losing their minds over skin and gender.

The issue seems to be someone might have been disqualified from a role solely because their skin was white when the video game had Ciri being light-skinned.
