Those with no common sense, spines, or anything else maybe. I'm pretty hyped!

Nobody complained when Tomb Raider came out that you played as a woman, and this was post Indiana Jones... The 'og' tomb raider.

It's because she was properly written & established & the character was fun

She also wasn't replacing an established male lead character, she was her own thing.

A large world like the Witcher should be the a good setting for switching up a lead character.

Typical girlboss character. In the books all she did was bake cookies for Geralt and now she has a sword of course.

She a boring normal protagonist? "So WOKE! No point in even making it a woman!!!"

If she is some badass with special abilities? "So WOKE! Can't even be a normal woman!"

Women really can't win with conservatives. (I know you're being sarcastic)

Certainly "Woke" something in me. 😏

Having not played any in the series but having them on my to-play list, this was my first thought. No matter how great it is, there will always be people who see a protagonist who doesn't look like them and call it woke.
