Forgive me for not knowing who, or caring who runs Feminist Frequency blog. It’s obviously popular, and has over 250,000 followers on Twitter. But if you check the Twitter feed of Feminist Frequency, you might be surprised to learn that left wing, whack job feminists like Feminist Frequency think the video game Witcher 3 is sexist or something.
If you are a gamer, you know all about Witcher 3. It’s an RPG game that’s probably the biggest in history. I’m a fan of the Witcher series myself.
If you aren’t a gamer and have no idea what Witcher 3 is, I’ll try to explain. You play as Geralt of Rivia who is a male Witcher through most of the game. But you also play in brief stints as Ciri, a female Witcher. That’s what has nut job leftist feminists like Feminist Frequency all hot and bothered. Check out the Tweets:
Dear gaming industry: If you want to appeal to women maybe consider not having your game yell “bitch" and "whore” at us while we’re playing.

Also the "it's realistic for enemies to sexually harass female characters” excuse is nonsense in fantasy games filled with ghouls & wraiths.

The Witcher 3 does to Ciri what Arkham City did to Catwoman. Thugs yell “bitch” and “whore” and sexually harass both women as you play them.

In The Witcher 3 you get to play as Ciri for short segments but be warned enemies will yell nasty gendered insults at her while she fights.

Welp, I guess we could just use The Witcher 3 to illustrate the rest of our #tropesvswomen series because it includes all the sexist tropes!

So there you have it. According to Feminist Frequency and other leftists, video game characters are now sexists or something. This idiot who made these tweets conveniently ignores the fact that there are plenty of ‘insults’ hurled towards the male character Geralt throughout the game. Witchers are called ‘freaks’ and ‘mutants’ by human characters, but Female Frequency doesn’t seem to have issue with this. All it does is show feminism to be the usual deranged hypocrites they always have been, just over video games now.
I guess even with video games, it’s all about politics now. Sigh.
