My guess would be that Ciri looks older now, she was 21 in Witcher 3, and there are a lot of Leonardo DiCaprio types out there who get offended by any suggestion they should be attracted to women their own age. And as you point out, assume that any women in media are there for them to sexualize.
“Woke” is anything they don’t like, including characters they can’t immediately sexualize.

I’m sorry, did they expect a chainmail bikini in Witcher?
