The thing that irritates me about the infamous Costa del Sol F.A.T.E involving the female miqo'te courtesan isn't that she's presented as being a harlot but...that she's prepared to sleep with a roegadyn of all things. Thankfully there's some solid insight into a more serious and tribal side of miqo'te life linked to the main story quests, though I feel as if the 'hahaha look how loose miqo'te women are' angle is a tad overplayed.
I also recall two females fawning over a hyur highlander in Highbridge yet there's very few examples of miq'ote showing an interest in their own race. What's worse is the amount of player characters portraying their miqo'te as harlots - it certainly isn't doing much to challenge the negative stereotyping that players of the race are subjected to.Â
That's not to say I'm against such themes being pursued, but they need to be done tastefully and not just focused disproportionately upon a specific race.
