Yes I didn't bother with the race of the chars since they changed locations anyway (although the reasoning for the name Kira was ridiculous). The thing is trash after trash and he is so dumb that it's unbelievable... I'll try to finish anyway. And about the discussion Machiavellian, if you read all the replies you'll see that the complains doesn't have to do with book saying she is white and the show making her non-white, it have to do with the heritage and royalty being core to the story. |
Would it really matter if the people Ciri came from was not white. In other words, in a fiction story like the Witcher, its not beholden to our ideas what a dark skinned person is. Let say they make Ciri black and the blackest person they could find. If they changed her people to being black, but kept everything the same as far as her people's heritage, would it really make a difference. The difference is that you would view Ciri as black but not based on the book and it's lore but instead what your ideal of what a black person is This is really what people are arguing about. I see Ciri as white and I can identify with that. You change her complexion to black or anything else then I have to identify with what I see as black, Asian, hispanic etc. I believe your points are more on an identify issue then a one of complexion.
