Ah fuck, he is right. Time to stop development on Witcher 4 while we go back and add a female main character option in the previous games.

“I have no imagination not even enough to save myself from the monotony of my own life and suffering esteem from mediocrity”
I need to play as a male
Imagine she's hangin massive dong then? Idk what to tell you.
I never got around to playing the Witcher; so I have no horse in this race.
La Mulana 1, you play as Lameza (Indiana Jones with a hint of ninja), but in La Mulana 2 you play as his daughter Lumisa.
Narratively, this was brilliant since you had a reason as to WHY you had to navigate death traps to re-gear and learn about the ruins. Might be the same as Witcher 4 if the MC ended the first game with god tier powers/items?
Did the gender swap bother me? Nope, why would it - I'm playing to solve puzzles, experience the unfolding mystery of the ruins, and experience some of the cheapest death traps ever made.
Alan Wake 2: you can play with both: Saga and Alan. Gamers: Nooooo, I want to play only as Alan Wake.
I can't be immersed in a game unless it's literally me in a mundane setting with no fantasy/sci-fi etc. elements. /s
Reminds me of all the DBD players who I keep finding on Youtube who complain anytime someone wears an optional pride charm. "Bro this many gay people isn't realistic! It ruins my immersion!"
and I'm like "They're wearing those charm because they're gay in real life. It's not realistic for gay people to exist?!"
I've quickly learned "Ally to the community" in Gaming Circles is a dogwhistle for "I hate gay people"
I think Im missing the issue here. Wasn't the same argument used for adding female characters to games and transgender characters later on?
Kinda thought that's the goal, for everyone to be represented if possible. That said, I'm looking forward to game being focused on Ciri
They for sure didnt complain when you only could play a man in the first 3 games.
I have a suggestion.
Average Witcher fan.
