sa

eg, look at shadow and bone/grishaverse. the book descriptions are wildly different for some of the characters that were cast in the series. don't get me started on the racism aspect when the shows wrote for inclusivity of cast and the books have a very different aesthetic that doesn't line up, so it'd be kind of a dick move to call someone a racist if they went with a book fitting pb for the main char instead of the poc visual cast.

thing is in this case the yennefer and zoya's actresses are both half english/half indian which made the whole argument for the pb even more weird. why not just use the portrayal of the character from the canon you're actually playing from, instead of using the exact same icons as someone who's already in the game? is yennefer really the most accurate to that character's physical description in the books that you're willing to steamroll a current player?

Re: Megan

is that the character that they were using? because the actual used character/canon wasn't brought up here. all that was brought up here was 'book player used a pb that happened to also be a pb from a current in game canon char' and then something something racism, which i'm confused about so whatever.

yes, it was zoya using yennefer as her pb. she did use a different actress in the end but it was zoya's castmate that went off about it on plurk and brought race into it.

it was dumb but everyone involved seems to be over it now so it was really stupid for anon to bring it up.
