Yeah, I was thinking about Yennefer too. I mean, I hate her in the show and I strongly dislike her in the games/books but I do wonder if part of it is not internalised mysogyny. Especially in the games where every male character just hates her. I started forcing myself to like her just to spite Lambert, Eskel and Vessemir.

I mean, we get a strong female character (TM) and everybody is bending over backward to ship Geralt with Dandelion - myself included, even though I probably couldn't stand him in real life while I do have a lot in common with Yennefer.

I think it's really cool that you're considering where your biases might come from! Obviously, you can like what you like and dislike what you don't, but these things rarely exist in a vacuum, and thinking about that kind of thing is a very valuable skill to have in fandom.

DA, I haven't read the books or the games, or follow the show that closely so if any of this happened, my apologies.

But...

I'm probably not going to like Yennifer unless her old classmates turn human again. She arguably didn't want the same thing to happen to her, true, but there has been a hell of a lot of meanwhile since then.

Or at least a moment of grief/regret/contrition.

Or acknowledgement that non-magical people aren't toys.

She may not be uniquely horrible in the Witcher show universe, but she's still horrible, and you can't have a major character cross moral event horizons in their introductory episodes and expect the whole audience to forgive it.
