    It’s like this in the books as well, it almost feels like a harem anime at times. Women just throw themselves at him.

      My favourite part of the books is how everyone thinks and assumes Geralt is an emotionless mutant, and he plays up that image. meanwhile he’s the most capricious, emotional child when he’s upset or hurt lol

      I think you underestimate the attraction of somebody who is proven to be infertile and immune to all STDs in the middle ages. Its basically a completely risk free one night stand.

        The books don’t establish that for quite a while. It’s a series with blatant male wish fulfillment and it does a fine job of it.

      I haven’t played Witcher or read the books, but in the shows fucking Henry Cavill. Even straight men want to throw themselves to him

        No we don’t.

        We just want to hang out with him. And play PC games. And nerd out about D&D. And talk about his movies. And snuggle with him. And feel him up. And maybe lick his chest.

        Even if I both played the game and saw the series before the book, the game version of Geralt would pop up in my minds eye as I imagined the story. That is, until I got to the sex scenes where Cavill took over.

        I pondered if this made me bi, but I quickly realized this is normal behavior for all sexual orientations.

          On a tangent it just goes to show you how terribly they mishandled the DC movies that a literal ‘no u’ uno reverse card of sexuality that is Henry Cavill was starring in them and running around in what should have been a skin tight body suit and still nobody wanted to go watch them. The man will literally print you money if you let him and they couldn’t even get over their undeserved egos enough to let him do his job properly.
