lesbian-moze replied to your post “do you think the moral of renfris story was geralt saying a victim is...”
tl;dr twn tried to make renfri a #girlboss sexy swordfighter and in doing so completely forgot the point of the story and just made it about geralts manpain
abused killing their abuser: arguably justifiable according to what you personally believe, potentially interesting topic of debate
abused killing their abuser and the entire village around them: pretty much objectively wrong
god this is such a great summary of what went wrong. thank you
and yeah like in the end of the saga, ciri kills bonhart, she kills that sick son of a bitch because he tortured and abused her, and it’s treated as the unequivocably right thing to do. so i feel like ppl saying “omg this story is about how abused people seeking revenge is always wrong” are just missing the point and only ever watched the netflix adaptation of it bc that’s definitely not what the short story is about
also i think “twn tried to make [female character] a #girlboss sexy [profession]” also applies to like. every other female character in the series lol
