“Importantly, Ciri is not the only example of resilience after trauma within The Witcher franchise.”
Rachel Kowert, The Psychgiest of Pop Culture: The Witcher

“A case study of non-toxic masculinity: Geralt of Rivia On the surface, Geralt meets all the criteria for being a traditional, male protagonist. He is physically powerful, a talented swordsman, self-sufficient, knowledgeable, sexually desirable, and frequently in a leadership role. Geralt exhibits exemplary masculinity. However, key elements of patriarchal masculinity – those that cause demonstrable harm to oneself, others, or society – are notably absent from his presentation.”
Rachel Kowert, The Psychgiest of Pop Culture: The Witcher
