Internettet er fyldt til renden med skarpe kritkkere, og de ønsker at tilkendegive deres meninger på diverse sociale medier om både film, spil og tv-programmer. For nylig er forfatteren bag den kommende tv-serie baseret på The Witcher, Lauren Hissrich, kommet under fjendtlig beskydning fra sådanne kritkkere, og hun har valgt at slå igen.
Forfatterholdet, som Hissrich står i spidsen for, er blevet kritiseret for ikke at bestå af et varieret nok udvalg af mennesker, og som svar på dette har Hissrich skrevet:
"@Netflix believes in transparency, so here is the truth. Deep breath. Here we go: None of the writers have been to Nilfgaard. Or Cintra. Or Kaer Morhen. None are sorcerers. None are children of surprise. None have hunted monsters, and none have killed anyone (as far as I know). Because — and this is important — writers don't use their skin color to write, or their gender, or our place of birth. We don't even rely solely on our experiences. We use our brains and our hearts. We all have those. I promise."
Det slutter dog ikke her, for Hissrich langede også ud efter fans, der er bekymrede om hvorvidt programmet vil benytte dårlige instruktører. Her skrev hun:
"Have these complainers read these writers' scripts? Have they sat with them and asked about their history and relationship with the material? Or their favorite short stories, or how they connect to a character? Do they, in any way, know these writers at all? Because - and I'm not directing this at you, Hektor, but since you're the one who brought it up - if these complainers haven't? Then they know jack s*** about how television is made, and aren't worthy of an opinion about writers they've never met."
