    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.

        It’s a fantasy setting. Nobodies stopping the show runners from straying away from how things were in the middle ages. If that’s too unrealistic to you, I have a feeling magic, monsters, and witchers might be reality-breaking for you too (not literally you - second person plural you)
