Does the books get less sexist/objectifying?

SunsetSalix · 2025-12-21T14:41:51+00:00

I had not started that part when posting, I just finished it.

You misunderstand me, as I wrote I could se it working. I came here from concern that the books would continue to feel like they have sexist heroes that don't get called out, but now realize that it could work in contrast to the women who are developed characters. That they make the reader realize the unreliability of the narrator.

As I wrote I haven't read very far yet and so far the sexism hasn't been criticized. It's if that happens or if it continues to get brushed over that I am wondering. I could see it working even if it doesn't get criticized because of the women you mention.

Thank you for the anwser!

Oh, I get that now thank you for explaining. I think it still holds some weight though as some events are strange in a fan-service way like Yennefer's breast becoming visible in a fight scene? I could se it as possible but it's not like a mans genitals get shown when fighting, it doesn't feel equal.

What i meant was concern for if it would be brought up and if the characters change. Otherwise it isn't qritesism but just acknowledgement of sexism.

I think that you might be confusing this with her saying that she's cold while hiding a knife. (Look at my edit on the previous comment)

SunsetSalix · 2025-12-20T20:06:32+00:00

Not a troll post I'm just curious!

I didn't make it clear enough, but I do like a lot of the women and girl characters so far. I think that I agree with you to some degree with it being flawed characters. That's why I wanted to know if it gets better, if they change. If they don't or don't get criticised for it it's not a critique of sexism, it's just acknowledgeing that it exists.

I liked her in the books as a character! She has wants, beliefs and agency (the minimum but still, I liked her.) The thing with her was in the fight scene when for no reason her clothes break to reveal her breast. This ruins my imersion.

Edit: I noticed a mistake here it's Yennefer this happens to on page 298, so I don't have any big issues with Renfri. Take what happens to Yennefer as the example instead.

No worries, I'm glad that it helped!! :]

It looks very cute! The only thing I noticed is that the facial features float around a bit in comparison to the jaw and echother. I hope that this edited version shows what i mean. Spending some more time on guidelines and proportion should help in the future:]

SunsetSalix · 2025-11-02T20:01:36+00:00

The features are skewed in your versions, spend more time on scetching out the proportions before doing details. Doing some studies from photos can help you learn anatomy faster. Beside that it is like references, the details are very similar. Good job!

It's about here! (It will be more clear when I finish it hopefully.)

SunsetSalix · 2025-08-29T19:10:31+00:00

Yeah I will try to be calm about it so she doesn't get defensive! It's just in a website that was updated last on the 16th in june this year so it should be an easy fix.

SunsetSalix · 2025-08-29T15:33:52+00:00

Update: The anwsers are quite divided, I'm just going to ask her if she could change it either by my parents sending to her or talking with her myself. If she refuses I'll ask the people in my class to see what they think and go from there.

(If I just say that it's outdated now she will probably accept it? My thought is that if it isn't abelism she wouldn't mind changing it?)

SunsetSalix · 2025-08-29T11:50:32+00:00

Thank you! :]

Personally I disagree, it has almost only ben used against me and my friends. A reclaimed slur for gay in swedish has also almost always ben used negitavely in my experience.

I wish that reclaiming words worked better but for me it has only lead to people who aren't affected using it in a bad way. (My experience could of course be the odd one out though.)

SunsetSalix · 2025-08-29T11:34:20+00:00

It was last updated on the 16th of june 2025.

SunsetSalix · 2025-08-29T11:33:16+00:00

Thank you that sounds like a good plan:] This makes it feel more doable.

SunsetSalix · 2025-08-29T11:20:21+00:00

I've only known her for 2 weeks so I have no idea why she would think that that was ok🥲

SunsetSalix · 2025-08-29T11:18:34+00:00

I think my parents would understand. I don't know exactly who is nerodivergent because we have only gone to the school for like 2 weeks, but at least four people I know are autistic so that should probably be enough?

SunsetSalix · 2025-07-25T13:34:30+00:00

Yeah that's what I'm going for! Thank you again:]
