I noticed modders for several games tend to "fix" monstrous female NPCs

SpoilerSerious

For example, earlier today, I saw a mod for Skyrim that makes hagravens "feminine" by changing their models to look more like young female human NPCs and making their voices more "seductive"..

The way the mod claimed it would make hagravens "feminine" felt rather weird to me as well like they're already feminine monsters. Feminine doesn't have to look young and "pretty". The whole misunderstanding of femininity as a concept.

Note: Hagravens are monstrous female witches who look wrinkly and somewhat creepy but one of my favorite designs in the game specially when you know their lore.

I understand there are many mods that try to beautify human NPCs and even lots that unfortunately sexualize NPCs but monstrous NPCs? Idk how I feel about that specially that its somewhat rare to see NPC designs that are made to look truly creepy or monstrous without any seductive hints.

Idk why a such cool monster design would require a fix. In fact, I wish modders would make more monstrous designs specially feminine ones (since focus on that tends to be on masculine monsters) rather than attempting to make existing feminine monsters ones "more seductive" and such but I think it is what it is.
