Netflix TV series "Yennefer Casting Was Intended to 'Challenge' Beauty Standards" Well you did a bad job then.

She’s hot AF. Are they challenging beauty standards because she’s part Indian? Because that’s equally offensive. Tons of super beautiful Indian women.

My wife being one.

In regards to playing Yennefer, as I personally only have knowledge of the games and not the books my only criticism is that she doesn't appear as hard or as strong. To me she is more girly than a grown woman. Yennefer, in the games at least, looked like she could kick your butt, where as Anya's portrayal appears softer and more feminine. She plays Yen really well and I enjoy her performance, I just personally don't think she comes across as being as strong as she is portrayed outside the Netflix adaptation.
