A witcherek mutánsok, ezért nem tartoznak sehova, függetlenségük miatt se az emberek sem az egyéb fajok képviselői sem kedvelik őket, emellett félnek tőlük. Itt egy rövid összefoglalás W3 Reddit threadből:

"There is a constant turmoil between humans and nonhumans in The Witcher universe and witchers are in a unfortunate position to be hated by both sides. Humans see witchers as nonhumans ('cause they are mutants) and nonhumans see them still as humans (as they were before the mutation). Of course there are still people who support them but they are in the minority which isn't that strange when you take in the consideration the state of the world, rumors, constant propaganda, lack of modern communication (most news travel through word of mouth and bard's songs which are both known to alter the truth), etc.
Witchers are also seen and known to be almost emotionless "creatures" (Geralt possessing larger range of emotions than most) that were created by unholy ways (magic & mutation) to do just one thing: kill. With ever decreasing number of monsters in the world (and rise of things like religion) people condemn the monster slaying business as barbaric thing to practice where as it used to be seen as a necessity. Glory seeking knights and "protection" offered by religion are seen as more accepted and ahem human ways to handle monster problems if they were to arise (though they rarely are as effective as hiring a witcher would be).
Witchers are also usually "made" from orphans so people rarely have any significant connection to them before mutation and it is known that only very few survive the mutation process making them seem even bigger abominations."
