  1. Why do you think they call it a BROADsword? Seriously though, the "well there's monsters and magic, yet you have a problem with the women wielding swords?" point is a pretty bad and tiredly old fallacious one because monsters and magic existing does not change the biological strength difference of men and women or how much a sword weighs. Harry Potter has magic. In that case, would you buy Hermione lifting up a bus with her bare arms, no magic? Just because one rule of reality is altered, doesn't mean all of them are. If a woman or anyone else does such a feat, it has to be explained within the rules of that fictional universe. So you guys at The Majority Report are right to make fun of him, but are doing it for the wrong fallacious reasons, and are seemingly about as out of touch as he is. My problem with what that guy says is that so much of fantasy fiction has women wielding sword (and many other melee weapons, and even with this typically masculine personality type on top of that), and he is singling out The Witcher for it? Plus it's the FANTASY genre, which means it is what we wish possible, not what is actually possible, which is why you see mages and healers and women fighters even though that wasn't historically part of medieval warfare. In reality, men wouldn't be so good at dealing with monsters either. They're monsters. They're superhuman. Him singling out The Witcher for this complaint just shows that he probably doesn't engage with the genre much and is yet another ignorant Netflix casual, and casting aspersions on shit he doesn't know anything about. He didn't even mention the games, which I'm sure he's not aware of because he is an old out of touch fucktard who knows nothing of the current media landscape. But what do you expect, it's the Daily Wire; they are out of touch with reality as a whole.

  2. Do you think anyone at The Daily Wire is interested in being educated?

  3. It's kind of amazing how many people are talking about The Witcher all of a sudden. Now all of these low effort casuals think they know The Witcher, when they wouldn't have even heard of it or ever shown interest if Netflix didn't plop a big banner in front of their faces. These people really ought to see what's out there for themselves instead of waiting for Netflix to give a simplified version of it to them. It's really easy to find good stuff if you click around on Wikipedia. I encourage the Netflix audience to broaden their horizons. Most of the good stuff isn't on Netflix. In fact, 90% of Netflix's selection is pretty fucking shitty and not even worth the subscription fee.

  4. Well, swords are pretty heavy. So to have finesse with it, you also need to have strength with it first. CAn't exactly have finesse if you are swinging it around real slow.
