"You can't just have Geralt for every single game" says his voice actor, and if you think The Witcher 4 making Ciri the protagonist is "woke," then "read the damn books" (www.gamesradar.com)

This is the first I've heard of this game being deemed woke.

If a game has a non-white or non-male protagonist, it's automatically "woke."
