To be completely honest, that probably is a reference to Yasuke, the first black real-life samurai. His whole story is incredibly memorable and it would even fit within the context of the game without changing pretty much anything, lmao.NiOh is alternate historical Japan and they had a black samurai.
Fantasy or alternate historical Japan means shit, you can have black people if you want to
Isn't he like based off a real guy. Who was a retainer of nobunaga? Nioh actually had a decent amount of diversity based on how they decided to tell the story. It was never only about Japan.NiOh is alternate historical Japan and they had a black samurai.

The movies themselves are not racist, per se, but there is likely systemic prejudice at play. Although we shouldn't just lump the entirety of Europe in an argument, as each country has a different distribution of ethnicities.
Eastern Europeans were occupied, enslaved and suffered so much it makes me sick when clueless Americans completely oblivious to history accuse eastern Europeans of lack of diversity and such. Westerners live in countries built by slaves, countries where racism is rampant to this day, and they dare to accuse countries like Poland of racism and lack of diversity. Just classic.
And as historians, both and Polish and not pointed out at the time, the argument that it's Medieval Poland rings incredibly hollow as it's very likely Poland was more diverse then it is now thanks the extensive trading it had with nations from the east, Poland was not self-sufficient, little to no to Europe and because of it's geographical location, Poland was a hot spot for trading which when you are a nation in constant threat and attack from Western Europe, good trade and resources was essential. What CDPR basically did was the "their was no black in Europe!" BS you see on the web all the time.
Triss had 3 games. Yennefer had a whole book series. You aren't gonna get those in Cyberpunk because it would be impossible. Also you don't have a set character, which certainly helped those subplots.
Because they all look the same right?
Well I feel like an idiot now. But in my 'defense' I can say I am a university dropout. Jokes apart very interesting post. Thanks for your time.
So you're saying there wont be hetero romances either with the amount of content of even Shani in Witcher 1? I bet you there will be at least that, and god I hope for same sex also.
You might not like it, but the game is good.
Thank You. Especially that the Witcher is some specifically Polish or Slavic work when it pulls in shit from all over Europe, including Arthurian legend of all things.
My girlfriend joined some Witcher groups after the show aired but had to leave within a day or two due to the amounts of rampant racism from fans because the show was "too diverse." So yes, conservatives are absolutely pissed that Triss isn't a pale, pale red head and that Fringilla has the gall to be a woman of color.
Bruh they be writing fanfics about the showrunner, this is some Tier 3 fan shit 🤣
That would require some knowledge and thought and not just shouting about lack of diversity in a setting where it doesn't make much sense in the first place. No matter that the books and games are diverse enough as they are but I guess that diversity that doesn't include skin color doesn't count.
The thing is there are black or asian slavic people. By implying that a game focussing on polish issues can't have a diverse cast, you paint the picture that whiteness is somehow related to being polish.
Honestly, I feel this is just making things kind of rediculous. Those characters in Witcher the game, you loved them because if how well written they were, how well they were acted in the game, the quests and adventures you did with them.
It's possible I'm misremembering, I suppose; the two people being referred to are, I think, foreign mercenaries in one of the short stories, who are noteworthy for their nationality rather than just their race (though their depiction, according to my spotty memory, is... weird)
"You cannot have a closed-off Japan setting in historical fiction because it wouldn't be diverse" sure is a take.
I got the impression that Poland had/currently has a very white society from this thread. Seems like that's a myth, so fair's fair, I'll withdraw my judgement about the Witcher games' world.
