why are all women (excluding ciri) in this series so manipulative/♥♥♥♥♥?

['za]

seriously! yen is a selfish ♥♥♥♥♥, good intentions or not. half of all of her lines are thankless demands, while the other half are innuendos for geralt or ♥♥♥♥ excuses for her ♥♥♥♥♥yness. triss fronts as being nice, but she's scheming constantly. kiera used you and potentially (if you let her sell the secrets) got thousands killed just because she would rather live in a city. the only ones who aren't horrible are event/sidequest characters. this wouldn't even bother me if it weren't for the facts that they are our allies and potential love interests. even some of the bad guys/neutral parties are better than them. i would sooner buy a beer for dijkstra (during crime boss days, if that gives you any perspective) than any of the women in this game.

They are mages, not just some random women, that greatly affected their personalities, as well their appearances.

What do you want us to say? That's how women are naturally?

[Grad]

Don't you just want to fill a house full of spiced yams and then slowly insert one inside your moist puckered bumhole as you have Yen play the flute while playing footsies with Ciri and Ciri is calculating how many square feet there are in an 89 acres? Triss is on the roof dancing a jig to the grunts and moans of Roach as he tries in vain to stand on his back legs and order a rum from the bartender?

That would be quite the scene.

What Coin said. There's plenty of good hearted women in the game, but they just happen not to be sorceresses. First that comes to mind would be crachs daughter. Ves. And most of the peasant women. The barons wife. The old woman from that quest about getting her pan. The priestesses of freya. But sorceresses are brought up knowing that they're powerful and wise, advisors to kings and shapers of the world. Being brought up like that ends up with you turning into a right c**t most of the time. Just like the kings.

honestly i completely forgot about ves, an Craite, and the rest while thinking about and then making this thread. how does being a mage change your personality though? because i remember seeing male mages during triss' missions and they weren't ♥♥♥♥♥ when i talked to them/saw them doing things.

It's not really women, but people in places of power. Very few people in power or hold a lot of power are nice. Same with kings and rulers. It's more or less human nature to abuse their power. Look at all the past kings and leaders. Very few are actually thoughtful of other people

[Coin]

Men and women don't get taught magic at same place by same rules if i recall correctly. And it's not a friendly school either, mage females get extremely desensitized due to the nature of their teachings, and that happens intentionally. Also a fun fact: all or most girls that are picked up for magic training are ugly or defective, and they change their appearances with magic when (or if) they learn it.

This is also very true. No king could be a good person.

Funny, you think the woman are bad? Pretty much every in-game guy is an insulting, scheming, self gratifying, walking hard on that would sooner kill you dead rather than look in your direction. The whole game is filled with a.ssholes...

Life is as well, even in common days, and before it was just as bad.

The ones with Triss who may have seemed less ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, were mainy alchemists and less powerful mages.

[Coin]

But men mages are no better really. Spoiler warning. There is a mage who created a plague, and a mage that tortured a witcher for nearly a month, and then got him possessed by some demon (or tried to), in the end that witcher looks like V, all burned and completely insane. At least he was a bad guy as well. Both of those are men.

Heard that....

In general, the whole Witcher world is full of @ssholes, be it women or men.
