I didn't know how badly I needed to see diversity in fantasy until I watched The Witcher. Not only did they quietly include women, disabed people and poc but they portrayed these characters with dignity. There was no LOOK HOW WOKE WE ARE. They just did it because that's the way it always should have been. I kept bracing for a rape scene, because fantasy and historical fiction always uses rape as plot, but it never came. Plus, Geralt is constantly sipping on that Respect Women juice and wearing down his leathers because he's dummy thicc.
Let's not forget Yennifer's origin story easily being one of if not the best character stories this year.
