    The fact that Geralt has a penis is not enough to make me forget that he is not me. Throughout the series, you’re constantly learning stuff about a character that isn’t you, that you aren’t writing. I doubt they have examined their feelings.

      The thing that always got rid of immersion for me as I ride my noble steed across the countryside to defeat mythical monsters from a mythology not my own was (1) geralt sounds too much like Gerald (2) his magic is trash/boring and (3) his crossbow is weak af. Never had a lot of difficulties with whether he had a dick or not.

      They probably project themselves over the character and feel like they’re really the one getting the rewards.
