!gaming is a community for gaming noobs through gaming aficionados. Unlike !games, we don’t take ourselves quite as serious. Shitposts and memes are welcome.
Our Rules:
1. Keep it civil.
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.
2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.
I should not need to explain this one.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.
Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

There is a technical lore reason though, most of the hot women are sorceresses, and can basically change their appearances at will. They tend to be hot women because it makes for easier social lives. Otherwise they are all 90 year old crones.
They look like that because the primarily male, hetero audience wants to see this. Let's not come up with in-lore reasons why female characters are sexualised the way they are
In the show you literally see Yennefer go from fugly to beautiful because being sexualized is useful if you're of a gender nobody usually listens to in the middle ages.
Most of them are old crones, they make themselves look like this because they are vain.
Ves takes the cake though, since she just runs around with an open shirt all day.
Yeah, Ves just stopped giving a fuck a while ago.
