Netflix Jaskier - Tumblr Posts

I'm going to say this incredibly bluntly, but The Witcher (finally) providing canon confirmation and representation of Jaskier's bisexuality is nothing but a blatant grab for ratings and views and positive engagement in a piss-poor attempt to revive itself.

Jaskier deserves better. Joey Batey, who's thrown his entire being into this role, deserves better. The fans deserve better.

From the moment the show was announced they've been skirting the topic, flirting with it whenever it suits them and outright ignoring it when they can't think of anything smart and vague to say. Baiting fans by coyly saying they couldn't possibly confirm he is, but they can't deny he is either.

Using it as a counter to try and stop their public image and longevity disintegrating is just... So fucking disappointing. Its been done before by other shows, both with queer characters and with other concepts, but again.

Joey and Jaskier deserved more. Jaskier being acknowledged as bisexual should've been its own moment. It should've been for the character, not for the profit.

FYI you can enjoy Jaskier being canonically bisexual while also acknowledging that its being used as a hosepipe on a gasoline fire. Jaskier being bisexual is not the bad thing. How and why its now being included is.
