Lol I was more or less joking. I just wanted to see what people would say .
What an impulsive reaction, too much shocked to realize this _could_ be supposed to be joke? But in this case it scratches the pride of the maleness? btw... homosexuality is a part of being open-minded about sexual cases. Or maybe, this is an exception here and it matters merely about *beeeep* women for getting rewards like collecting other objects to get your odds & ends together?Geno said:You're joking right? It's not kinda funny see such a thing - for me....it isn't a question of bahavior (player choices) it is a question of foundations - if you loose your memory probably you wan't change your sexual orentaion , you don't bacame left handed if you were right handed etc. I don't think is a good or funny ideaCrimson Ice said:I do have a question though: the developers are always talking about freedom of choice for the player. Does this extend to Geralt's sexual orientation? Not that I have any particular want to play as a gay Geralt, but it would be in keeping with the developer's mantra of player freedom, and you have to admit it would be kind of funny to have the option, although it may not be in keeping with the books. Although, it might satisfy those people who are irritated by the way females are portrayed in the game.
If I were a foreigner I would say "So typically Polish...".But I'm not and I'll be more specific then - "So typically PiS-LPR-Samoobron-ish" Now, seriously...I'm not open minded at all to eee... "sexual cases", so my judgement may be a bit biased, but where do you see impulsiveness in this reaction ?I fail to notice it - for me it's a perfectly reasonable answer. You can loose your memory, but you won't loose your habits. And Geralt didn't lost his memory completely either - he still can walk & talk it seems.Also, as to referring to women as objects... Well, the Witcherland is more or less at the dawn of the times we can compare to what we call the Dark Ages. And the only place where there can be slightest idea of gender equality are universities and magic schools.So that "collecting (..) object" thing, as sexist as it may seem, is perfectly in place there.Well, that's what I think at least.What an impulsive reaction, too much shocked to realize this _could_ be supposed to be joke?

It's totally stupid, isn't it ?I'm really glad that The Witcher tries to be plausible in right places.(such as chain bikinis)
I hate that part...It's just sooooo un-Triss-ish to me.we've seen "exposed" are (...) and Triss
Well I fear I haven't read any of Sapkowski's books yet, so I can't really say... :-XJaen-ni-rin said:I hate that part...It's just sooooo un-Triss-ish to me.
Well, I don't think so... Some people feel offended or insulted and some people are amused by (more or less subtle and thoughtful) jokes involving their own gender's sexual practices. I don't see any particular difference between men and women in that respect. If there was some slight difference to notice, I would say it's among women that this kind of joke is less well accepted, and justifiably so, since it's a fact that they are much more often subjected to mistreatments of sexual nature all over the world than men are, and that kind of mistreatments sometimes pictures, as do jokes (though the latter do it acceptably, without implied violence, physical or symbolic, where mistreatments and sexist ideology do it unacceptably and with implied physical and symbolic violence) women as sexual objects. Thus jokes are always subjected to suspicion : they are suspected of symbolic violence, of meaning to impose a false image of women. But isn't every joke like this, ridiculing one group or one person or another, without necessarily suggesting that the joke gives the accurate view of its object ?Jaen-ni-rin said:I find it somehow interesting that "consuming women" to be rewardet with a trophy is considered as something homorous. But when it comes to some sort of joke regarding men's sexual nature than all of sudden all humor is gone. Why?
uuuhhh... an interesting idea ^^ why not the other way around? Strong women as fighter* or warrior* who "consume" men and then get a card as a special reward? *is there a female expression in English or does even the language ignore the idea that there could be female fighters or warriors?Cammaris said:If you could play as a sorceress in this world, it would be more female than male oriented because they only use males as sexual and other objects and than, usually, throw them away (and that is best case scenario)Even Geralt should be careful when ... talking with sorceress.
LOL, you tell 'em, Michael.T!MichaelT said:The word "fighter" is used in the same manner as the word "human". In that sense it is genderless and can be applied to a person of either sex.In case someone feels wronged by the fact that words such as "human" or "woman" have "man" in them, here is a wee history lesson: In Old English the word "man" was used to identify a human being of no particular gender. Hence "mankind" and "humanity". To differentiate between males and females, people used to say "he-man" and "she-man".
