When war broke out in Ukraine, what did the women do?
They fled to Europe. To the welfare and the brothels and the dating apps. While their brothers and husbands and fathers and sons were conscripted at gunpoint and fed into the meat grinder.
The problem with female protagonists in fiction is that they destroy my suspension of disbelief simply by being female. Because when the going gets tough in real life, virtually all women revert to stereotypical female roles and behaviors in order to save themselves. So when Star Wars or Marvel or CDPR wants me to swallow some cocky girl boss as the hero, my rational brain says “this isn’t how women actually behave”.
When men say that they want attractive female protagonists, what they’re really saying is “I will tolerate a female protagonist if she is an idealized woman”. Because if the female hero isn’t idealized - if she’s just an annoying entitled cunt, same as virtually every real life woman - then why am I accepting any woman as the hero? They aren’t heroes in real life. Not in the same way as men. And that’s what is being depicted in this media.
I loved the part when Rand broke free from the aes sedai imprisoning him, completely crushing several of their connections to magic in the process. There were very few such satisfying events in the series. Reading all 14 of those books was probably the biggest waste of time I’ve ever committed.
I agree. To be fair, Witcher was never a truly "based" game series, the witches are Mary Sues and much stronger than Geralt. It was only a matter of time until they just kicked him out.
At least canonically sorcerey is a rare talent, and they're not exactly all powerful. They were mostly killed by regular humans when Radovick purged the Lodge.

You sound like Imp, who at one point claimed that there were zero women left in all of Ukraine because they all left. Actually, judging from videos, the only ones out in public are women and men of ages not vulnerable to conscription.

Russian and Ukrainian women aren't exactly feminist harpies.

TheImp doesn't own the nature of women, or being able to see it, to see the consequences of feminism, to see the differences between men and women. That's just reality.
TheImp takes it too far, and hates women so much that he blames them for every single problem under the sun, and hates them so much he wants humanity (probably only just White people, given he only seems to hate White nationalism) to die out, just to spite women. Granted, many problems are caused by women and feminism, but not all problems. TheImp is insane, but just because he's nuts doesn't mean every observation he holds is false.

That so?
He's nuts and so are his 'ideas', if you can call them that.

Enjoy your girl bosses, homo.
Weren't you calling people stupid just a short while back? Better not show that previous incarnation of yourself this comment.
Oh no, did I do a homophobia?
You are very stupid.
