See, we could’ve all waited on this and just see where it goes. But rational thinking has never been the best human trait. We’re all guilty. Anyway. Enjoy...

It is pretty funny reading over that thread, namely since it was based on unconfirmed reports and people treated it like fact.

The actress playing Yennefer looks a lot younger than i would have expected

Oh, thank god they're not black! (joking)

You do realize that witches are also insanely old. They use magic to change themselves and live insanely long. Also witches were also originally all deformed and ugly to begin with.

So anytime you were fapping to the hot witches in Witcher, just realize that without magic they would be like a 200 year old hunchback old hag.

Pretty sure Yennifer was  hunchback.

She was. And that's also a spoiler lol. It's revealed I'm the end of the last wish book.

That is why the only true girl to go with is Shani!

And who's to say that without that fan backlash they wouldn't have gone with a BAME actress? 

"One of the things I feel most strongly about is people being afraid that we’re going to strip out the cultural context of The Witcher, to remove its Slavic roots, the very thing people in Poland are proud of. That couldn’t be further from the truth. What I’ve always wanted to do is take these Slavic stories and give them a global audience."

Oh, what a crock of shit, they back-pedaled due to fan backlash.

Anyway, Freya could be described as a bit mousey, which is fine for Ciri. Don't like one bit their pick for Yennefer.

My thoughts exactly.  Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if they purposely leaked the info, just to "test the waters".
