I don't know, that sounds like victim blaming. Maybe both rumors are true and they padling back or the second rumor isn't true and ciri is going to be bame, maybe they don't give a shit about angry internet nerds or they used it as free publicity. We just don't know.

A bunch of people lost their shit about a rumor nobody knew if it was true or not. Why not just wait and see until we have something concrete like an official press release.
For example:
"Netflix hires Colin Kaepernick to play Ciri in their upcoming Witcher TV-series
the director says: "Colin is a perfect fit for the role. When he kneels, he's exactly as tall as Ciri is in the first book.""

If we waited and the "BAME" rumor had been true, it would have been to late to convince them to change it, once a "BAME" Ciri had been cast they couldn't have gotten away with recasting without angering the opposite camp. It truly is a screwed up, overly political world we live in

Why do we have to convince them? If the production team is unable to find the right actors for their main characters they are unable to produce a good series.

Look, I also think casting a black or asian looking girl to play Ciri is a bad idea but it's better to just let them do their work and judge it after its finished. Either they cast a bame girl for Ciri and it's a complete miscast and the series is shitty or they cast a bame girl for Ciri and the series is great, then kudos to them and the actress for convincing me.
