A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.

Why wouldn't it be his place to argue for more respect for the source material? or simply a better script?! It is his face in there, instead of an awesome show, we got, well... whatever the hell that was and his face is attached to it forever.
I have no idea about show business but if I sign up to play Dracula and now they tell me the script calls for a Dracula that has no powers and instead is only a genetically diseased person with hardcore anemia, I would probably fight the script as well
From how I see it, he is an actor. He is expected to get a script and act accordingly. Depends on the director and others how open they can be about it and how much freedom the actors get. But I don't talk from experience.
Now as a Witcher fan, I understand Cavill completely. He cared for source materials and got writers and showrunner who didn't. Some writers allegedly even actively didn't like the source material. So of course he would fight it. I can imagine ways that are good, and I can imagine ways that may be stepping out of line from writers perspective.
