Some of the harsh reactions OP is getting is really baffling to me. I haven't played anything by CDPR nor have I watched or read the Witcher series, so I don't really have any opinion on any of that, but I have absolutely experienced stuff getting unfortunately tainted by association to unpleasant/problematic/etc things. Even when you know those shitty things have nothing to do with the other thing, once they're connected in your head and you can't think of one without also thinking of the other, it's really really hard to break that association. It is an absolutely frustrating experience, and I completely understand where OP's coming from. It's super weird that people are treating it like some kind of witch hunt or mass overreaction when all OP is doing is lamenting about this--imo pretty common--struggle.
OP, I would honestly just give the series space. Time heals a lot, and once the CDPR stuff isn't so fresh that connection won't be as strong in your mind, and you'll have an easier time separating it. Like I said I don't know anything about the series, but I think others' suggestions to research the writers could be a good idea, too; try forming new associations with them and not with the company.
