Maybe you don't like her because she's a horrible person, regardless of gender or sexual exploits.

[(Anonymous)]

that's not what OP's secret said tho - they aren't bothered by the character's actions in practice so much as it's this woman doing it and acknowledges this feeling as irrational

[(Anonymous)]

ayrt

Not really, like it sounds like OP is just trying to find half a dozen reasons why they could like her, while every reason is legitimate enough, and that they also acknowledge that. Just maybe that there's a chance they could like her if she wasn't a girl even though that isn't likely.

[(Anonymous)]

OP literally said she'd like Yenn if she were a dude.

Make your own secret to discuss your issues with the character. This one's about Not-You.

I thought this comm was all about it being OK to like villains and asshole characters

[(Anonymous)]

no anon, that only applies to men.

[(Anonymous)]

I could easily forgive being "horrible", but she's whiny and selfish, and for me that means weak, and maybe it's self-esteem issue, but seeing weak female leads always make me angry towards them :/

[(Anonymous)]

I think you're on the cusp of a major revelation here.

If it's not her actions themselves then maybe it's time to ask yourself why it's her being a woman makes them unappealing enough that it makes you hate here while a male character would not inspire the same.

[(Anonymous)]

I'm the opposite: if she was a guy I'd have hated her, but for whatever reason I am far more lenient towards lady assholes than I am male ones. Not really sure why but at the same time it's fiction so whatever, I'll enjoy her being a mess and seeing where her story goes.

[(Anonymous)]

I'm with you there, bud. I like to see a woman ~strut~.

[(Anonymous)]

AYRT.

Let them be messy and awful and I will adore them because fuck-it we can be terrible too. And bonus points for Yennifer because she's Hot.

OP

[(Anonymous)]

I'd like to note that this was written before the final two episodes. I really really loved her in those episodes.

[(Anonymous)]

Maybe you would hate her regardless of her gender and you've just internalized fandom's constant insistence that every female character who's hated would be loved if they were male.

[(Anonymous)]

This may not apply at all to you (as you don't mention any of your feelings regarding Geralt), but I know that when I was younger, any female character (that I couldn't necessarily identify with or want to be like) that had a relationship with my favorite/the male character I crushed on was automatically denied. I would find reasons to dislike her, hate on her, roll my eyes whenever she was being cool/masculine (that's its own thing) or doing something that the hero might have done, etc.

I read your post, so maybe it's nothing to do with that and more to do with other things? Anyway, haven't seen this show yet, but I want to.

[(Anonymous)]

I think I would have liked her more if she wasn't involved in Geralt's story.

I really liked her story, and how she self-sabotages so easily, but when she's onscreen with Geralt I feel we're getting Geralt's perspective of who she is. That causes a weird dissonance for me because she stops being the hero of her own tale and is kind of reduced to a threateningly sexy love interest. She's just... boring, with him.

Geralt becomes boring too, with her. Jaskier doesn't though! And I enjoy her interactions with him too.
