    Exactly, like in the Witcher they made the bard have a gay love scene even though it was not in any of the games or books. That scene was not needed, we knew he was a horny fella but the scene felt out of place.

      Jaskier (dandelion) did have some male partners, hinted at in 3 even with an elf in drag who is one of dandelions lovers.

      Not something I found in the books, but it does seem to be in the games

      I mean, I don’t know if he’s gay, but in Witcher 3 he made a drunken pass at a cross-dressing male elf, who rebuffed his advances and told Dandelion that he wasn’t into men. So…

      This being said, I hate it when they crowbar that shit in. You can tell it’s not been written by a gay man, and often they really play to stereotype. Inevitably they make a character that is gay, rather than make an interesting character who is also gay.

      Although, and let’s be honest here, the reality is that people complaining about gay characters are more often than not low-key homophobic.
