I think I'm just as confused as everybody by the choice to make Jaskier bi for the show. Jaskier is a womanizer/doesn't make deeper connections easily, for him to have a meaningful romantic relationship with Radovid is so out of character.

This article seems to suggest the community is uncomfortable with queer characters, but neglects to mention Ciri and her time with The Rats. It's a fair criticism of the original works that the only queer characters are women, and that the show could introduce some new characters to balance things out.

Is it that hard for critics of the community to accept that the concerns we raise are not bigoted opinions? Our concerns are rooted in the very major changes to things we know and love

This isn't even The Witcher anymore. It's generic fantasy with the witcher name to draw in a crowd.
