Is Geralt from The Witcher 3 a weenie? (hexbear.net)

My only exposure to The Witcher is from the ~~advertisement~~ crossover quest in Monster Hunter World. The quest was cracking me up the whole time because Geralt was so stereotypical "cool grizzled guy" in his dialogue and voice acting that I half expected him to say "Psssh… Nothin Personnel… Kid…"

Is he this much of a weenie in The Witcher 3 or did Monster Hunter do him dirty?

'the best ever at fighting'

he gets crippled by a mage with a stick. he gets killed by a peasant with a pitchfork. he is repeatedly put on the back foot by regular ass dudes.

every person in the setting that isn't also a witcher or a mage rightfully sees him as an inhuman monster

he's literally just a human, the myth that witchers are some kind of monster comes from the fact that many of them turned to banditry in order to survive because they had already hunted all the monsters (there are a finite number of monsters in the world since they are extradimensional beings that don't breed). geralt is constantly starving because he doesn't have any money because he's above banditry.
