I don't give a fukk about Dwarves and Elves bruh...
This is what I was referring to...
They turned the first cousin of a white princess from a place called "Toussaint" black just to say, hey look black people, we got black people in this show to...
If you want to include black folk, CREATE black characters...Why is that such a hard thing to do?
Instead we get this SJW token appeasement shyt...
For the fantasy medium, I dislike race swaps of this nature too, but its not because of source material accuracy or the sort of complaints I see the anti-sjw crowd make. I dislike them because it misses out on the opportunity of creating and exploring a fantasized black people with their own culture/identity that takes inspiration from real world black/african cultures.
For instance, because Asians, Arabs, and Europeans are depicted in most fantasy to be analogs of their real world cultural counterparts, they end up getting cool stylized takes on their historical real world warrior classes like "fantasized" knights, barbarians, vikings, romans, samurai, arabian knights, ninja, and shinobi. That's the type of representation I like to see black people receive rather than just purely being European knights with a European aesthetics/culture. Its just so boring to bring in non-whites and have them ropleplay as medieval brits rather than giving them their own culture and then show how all those different cultures interact with each other.
A good example of this occurring in diverse fantasy universes with multiple races is something like Redguards from the Elder scrolls series, they are a black race that is a fantasy analogue of the West African Mali kingdom/Moors. Or, even the summer islanders from the Game of Thrones universe. Though they didn't get much attention in the show, they are a black people that act as analogs to various African and afro Caribbean cultures. You see, that's interesting.

Game of Thrones did the same for people who hadn't read the books
exactly the same thing, I binged when the first 4 seasons were out so there was no time to take it all in slowly, so it took the whole first season for me to understand who was who/what and why and where
the voice he chose for Geralt is dope

People love when shows hold their hands. I know about the games but I’m hardly familiar with them or the book material and I’m following the show just fine

I mean it's a damn fantasy, let's throw race out the window for a minute and judge it for its pacing, storytelling and quality.
he does a good geralt voice
