Jaskier: Name a more iconic duo than my crippling fear of abandonment and my anxiety. I’ll wait.

Radovid: You and me!

Jaskier, tearing up: Okay.

I'm really trying to be positive here but it's harder and harder. So Jaskier is confirmed bi. Yeey, finally you cowards. Of course people are mad because in books and games he was described as womanizer etc. BUT when the books were written the bardic stereotipe was this guy who slept with all the women he saw, who many times had to escape from angry husbands, fathers and brothers. Now bardic sterotype is a guy that fuck everything *looking at all the D&D bards that tried to seduce the dragon*. And as Jaskier based on this sterotype it is an obvious choice that they'll make him bi.

What I hate is that they're talking about him falling in love (like nope, just not this character. CD Project Red kinda went this way with Priscilla but later in comics they broke them off) and... Radowid. Fucking Radowid.

First, if we want to focus on the books, Radowid was like 12-13 years old in the books at this point. And it was really important for the plot as he became a king and Dijkstra and Fillipa ruled in his name. So changing that is already ignoring important factor of this political part of the books.

Second, it's the same thing as with Eredin in Blood Origin. Representation is nice. But maybe not any representation. Netflix showrunners are once again ignoring the fact that games created a geat interpretation on these characters. And their first openly gay character is main protagonist of Witcher 3. Amazing job. Because when I think about representation I totally wanna think about guy that i spend over 100h trying to kill. And in game I also hepled with killing said Radowid. In games Radowid is mad. His working with faith fanatics, his politics lead to killing witches. In Witcher 3 you basically help sorceresses escape to Kovir from Redania because they'd be killed otherwise. And when they escape Radowid ordered to kill even more non-humans like elves etc.

I mean, it's not official or anything but Witcher 3's Redania looks a lot like SOME country in the middle of Europe that is now also know from right-wing homophobic, rasics, faith fanatics.
