First time learning anything about The Witcher universe.
Have never seen a fantasy setting with such diverse human races existing together. Can someone who has read the books explain to me the backstory of why there are so many white and black people in the same country. Was it from some kind of ancient slavery, two continents becoming one in some war, or are we seeing a very wealthy nation that draws people to it from all over the world, etc?
It's an interesting setting but I feel like I'm missing an important backstory on how the characters are from such different human groups.

That's just netflix's trash. Most humans in the witcher are "white" and actually extremely racist.
Asher Morales
oh, that's kinda lame. I was expecting some diplomatic thing or war or something. never mind then.
Jordan Cox
Nice bait op

Collision of the spheres (different universes) is what brought humans and monsters to the world of the elves. In the books those people are mostly Slavs although there are some black people from exotic places. In the show it was more evenly distributed where humans got dropped off. Also elves are generally brown so mixed race features are indicative of some measure of interbreeding.

Lauren explained it perfectly here
William Morgan
>why

Has any other show made /tvpol/ seethe harder than the Witcher? Lauren is based for that alone
Jason Russell
>can a house be just a foundation?
>of course it fucking can't you dumb hag
>perfect, I'm building this house without foundations then
Samuel Kelly
>Has any other show made /tvpol/ seethe
With what? Being a terrible show?

>make a show that looks like 1997 UPN schlock
>"haha, based guys, based, red pilled, based!"
You have to make it believable, at least.

Seriously, Cavill literally makes this show. I honestly didn't and don't care for the other plots, but every time Cavill is on screen, the show just becomes infinitely better. I feel bad for him that he has to basically carry the show with all the other piss poor decisions that were made in spite of him.

Come on man, even if it did trigger Yas Forums you gotta admit it wasn't a well-made program

It has its flaws but all things considered it's pretty good. This isn't bait, it's actually what I think
That's fair. Jaskier and Anya are the next best things but Cavill is pretty clearly the main asset
Blake Rivera
He's just as bad as everything else.

What's good about it?
Austin Long
It's fun.

Really? The incoherent story or the primitive dialogue is fun?
Ryder Price
Not gonna lie, you sound like a retarded faggot right now.

Christopher Miller
fun to shit on
Levi Miller
Why is it bait?
Parker Ross
because anyone liking this straight to vhs show, or wanting to discuss diversity here, defies belief.

Sorry for your shit taste

lmao this is the same thing people say for shit games

>In the books, no one pays attention to skin color."
But that's just wrong. In one of the short stories Geralt meets this dude and her two dark-skinned mercenaries and it is stated that they draw quite a bit of attenttion from the locals and even Geralt himself. How did this bitch get away with this bullshit? Hasn't anyone read the books? They're mediocre at best, but stil...

No. She hired her friend to "basically read the books".
