So, that was the trailer? Lady witcher gets angry that girl will be sacrificed and plot armored her way through the fight, turns back as retarded peasants are acting retarded and just repeats marketing line to camera? Was the intern who made this?

It just felt like a less interesting version of the Witcher 1 trailer.

No one in Poland consider himself eastern european.
2 A lot of people, about 1/3 of population has deep inferiority complex towards "western europe". They do not call themself polish, but european, they shit on everything that's considered polish - pariotism, folklor, history. 50 years of communism took it's mark in their family's slave mentallity.
I have been thinking about this. No such slave mentality in Czechs, despite also 50 years of gommunizm. Therefore, the XIX century under direct r*ssian rule is to blame.

3 We got far left socialists government, with a lot of incompetent woman at position of power, including such Orwellian ministries as Ministry of equity or Ministry of climate.
4 We are snowballing into becoming communist country again.
5 Presidential elections are coming and if commie government candidate win, we are fucked.
You mean: we got rid of a filthy socialist government. Our current Tuskfuhrer even calls out the climate hoax for the bullshit it is, and the previous leftard prime minister has happily voted for the Green New Deal.

What money is being used against you here? Are CDPR hiring thugs to bully you at school or what?
Well, even since The Witcher 3 (which is absolutely pinnacle Witcher, better than the books, better than the first two games), the Witcher has been destroyed by wokeness. First, the disgusting Netflix series, in which the creators showed 0 respect for the lore or slavic culture and mythology. Then, the 4th game, which is poised to be both lore-breaking and Mary Sue "patriarchy bad, boss girl slays!" idiocy. The series are gone for good.
1. Its not out yet, you've just seen a trailer.
2. How is this an attack on you?

- The worst part is the ending. In an attempt to "subvert expectations" they show the girl she was trying to safe gets killed by the peasants instead of the monster. But only shows Ciri as incompetent.
This is good, it means they aren't writing her as a mary-sue.

Let's say RPG with female protag, game tries to force your char to suck off some disgusting nigger. Being an RPG, you can refuse and kill the nigger instead

If you suck the dick, you get permanent +1 CON and an unique item.

You know there never really was a choice after all.
so we established you are willing to suck it. now what is left is price bargaining.
A son asks his father:
- What is "really" and what is "hypothetically"?
- Son, how can I explain this to you? Let's look at an example.
- Okay.
- Go to your mom and ask her if she would sleep with a black guy for 1 million dollars.
The boy comes back:
- She says she would.
- Now ask your sister.
- She also agrees.
- Now ask your grandfather if he would sleep with a black guy for a million dollars.
- Grandfather also agrees.
- You see, hypothetically we have 3 million dollars, but in reality we have two whores and an old faggot...

The usual suspects rheeing as always. The books place Ciri as a main character replacing Geralt in the later ones. CD Projekt Red's take isn't off from the book character and possible outcomes for her.

They need to fix her face model though, ick. The CDPR trailers are also notoriously misleading as others have pointed out. What ever happened to "She'll get what she deserves" from TW3? Exactly, gone with the wind. That part in TW3 was entirely underwhelming compared to the trailer presented years before. Cyberpunk 2077 trailer? Not even the same thing we got for release.

I'll pass judgement until we get some concrete gameplay footage closer to actual release. I would bet it's buggy as hell upon launch however.

Women are definitely winning the culture war.

Girl is selfless and taught by patriarchy to sacrifice herself for the good of others. She does so obediently and father is impotent and meaningless to her plight.
Girlboss Ciri exposes their old traditions as toxic masculinity, kills their mysoginist "god" who preys on women.
Men are incapable of admitting that they were wrong so they kill the innocent girl anyway because of the power patriachy has bestowed upon them. Father is again completely impotent (the mother isn't shown so she's not presented as useless as the father).

Men have completely failed to even defend themselves in the culture wars, let alone strike back. It's ogre.

They have. Repeatedly. Many recent games heavily infested by political nonsense have flopped hard.

People push back against slop all the time, they just happen to end up censored if they do it on any of the more mainstream sites.

There's open ridicule all over the internet despite that censorship because for as much as the developers may wish otherwise, they cannot actually censor everybody fast enough.

Will there be hopeless individuals who mindlessly buy whatever slop is pushed out and presented to them? Sure - but they lack the numbers to fulfill investor goals.

I've been pointing out here for years how dumb the main plot of Witcher 3 is, and the stupidity of the bad ending. Ciri dies from not being validated enough. It's the only weakness Strong Female Characters can ever have.

CD Projekt Red's take isn't off from the book character and possible outcomes for her.

In the books she teleports to King Arthur's world and other stupid shit.

Women Homos are definitely winning the culture war.
FTFY. Also Sneaky Fuckers.

When low-status males have no chance of accessing females via traditional routes such as fighting or signalling their prowess, they may attempt more deceptive means of getting a mate.

You know, it's funny watching the Codex go apeshit with this performative outrage over Ciri as the protagonist when most of you perverts are already at half mast just thinking about all the different ways MODS WILL FIX IT™...
Projection from the local Cyberpunk fanboy.

So is it milking money again? And how many developers are still males?

From what I remember 10 years ago before my health worsened, the people that shall be employed as programmers/developers were: No white beard, not looking like he's living in poverty, and she's a young female.
I had my suspicions when they released Cyberpunk, but...

I remember in 80s and early 90s, developers entertained themselves with books, energy drinks, and pirated games. Nowadays they entertain themselves with cellphones, and sex change pills.

Sit back, relax, pop open a nice, cold brewski and enjoy the show.
That's what I'm doing. The difference in what women can signal vs what men can signal is hilarious. Men are totally pussywhipped and it's not even close.

Imagine if it was the other way around. You had a group of women raising boys to think that their only worth in life was to work the mines to sustain their village, but in actuality the mines were possessed by some demon killing the boys slowly and the village women were in cahoots with the demon.

It would never be presented like that because women are unassailable in entertainment media nowadays.

I'd say the new trailer looks as some kind of unfunny parody of that W3 trailer

It rethreads the same themes of that W3 trailer, but it doesn't do that very successfully.

Although, I'd like to point out that the "killing monsters" stuff was originally said by Ciri in The Tower of the Swallow

It's not a witcher 3 thing
