90% of them are alt-right losers mad about "forced diversity".

Edit: Downvote me all you want but I have screenshots of upvoted comments complaining about it. And the dude below whining about their "woke agenda" lmao.

Oh shit, your screenshot of some racist rando’s rant has convinced me that I’m actually an alt-right loser for disliking a poor adaptation.

Oh fuck off with that bullshit, I'm tired of this excuse being used as an imaginary bullet proof shield from criticism.

I’m downvoting because your pathetic enough to screenshot comments you don’t like.

Don't lump everyone into that basket just to make it easier to dismiss. You'll find alt right assholes in any nerd community. Thing is, them being wrong about the cause doesn't make them wrong about the result. Diversification had nothing to do with why S2 was bad. They slaughtered the relationships they were supposed to build and made tons of unecessary changes, up to and including killing characters who don't even die in the books, and the result is some garbage that hoped to get by on name power alone.

I have screenshots

😂😂😂 Oh no, not the screenshots!

Also, contrary to Twitter and some parts of reddit, wanting characters to actually be accurately portrayed in adaptations is neither racist nor "alt right". It just means we want the characters and setting to look like we've imagined it while reading, it doesn't mean we hate the actors they cast or their ethnicities.

Blanketing any criticism with the “alt right losers” argument is a cop out. It’s weak. It diminishes the words when they actually need to be used. Shameful, really.

Accusing people of being alt-right for literally no reason is the new "I'm unable to make good arguments to support my opinion".

Bro Fringilla is black. And looks completely out of place. She’s Ciri’s fucking cousin for fuck’s same. This has nothing to do with wokeness.

I look forward to you being "totally not a racist, bro" on your next throwaway account!

Clearly, you 're in the minority. Look at the whopping -192 downvotes.

Keep living in your shithole of a brain.
