memes

The meme is completely on point. I mean, I know I'll be roasted for this, but I hated pretty much everything about The Witcher, instantly.

It gave me valuable perspective on what ALL fantasy stuff must look like to people who never fuck with fantasy stuff, and generally dislike it. I only played a few hours of it, and the whole time I was like "they're not adequately explaining what a 'witcher' really even is. They're not introducing the worldbuilding stuff in a way that makes me give a shit about it. And the main-character-has-lost-his-memory trope is just waaaaaay too overdone, in the first place. This is all just boring me. And now I'm getting...ummm...some kind of virtual post-coital trading card? To commemorate my character boning this redheaded fantasy ho? Okay? That seems sort of classless."

Keep in mind, I do like fantasy shit. I defend "genre fiction," whenever I see people employing that phrase as an epithet. But "The Witcher" made me realize what it must really look like, when you're a non-genre person, looking in from the outside.

Basically, it was both an enlightening and depressing experience.

EDIT: I really hate the fact that I only remembered anything about that fantasy ho, because the stupid 'sexcard' helped me fucking remember it. Goddammit. I guess it worked? If it was trying to make me remember that shit? Is that why it exists? Then why did it ONLY give me a little flashcard for my dick-related accomplishments? There are probably people who will think I'm being prudish or overly "politically correct." Whatever. Think what you want. I just think that shit is fucking classless, like I said.
