“Heroes of Might and Magic V: Tribes of the East”

It's just that the artists who drew these elven enchantresses decided to embody their erotic fantasies in the game, using their favorite thematic images of girls from BDSM resources as a model.

So, you've taken the developers and analyzed them through the lens of Freud. Although, for the sake of increasing sales, they should embody the fantasies (and not just erotic ones) of potential buyers, that is, ours.

Actually, matriarchy existed in human history. And it existed among the Scythians, Sarmatians, and Cimmerians, who later became, by the way, Slavs! So, we have a fear of women in our blood.

On "Slavic" lands, there was a cult of the earth, which is traditionally associated with the feminine principle. At some points, it was dominant, and its "priestesses" were revered. But women never held leadership positions in the state (tribe). It's unlikely that this can be called a matriarchy.

P.S. Cimmeria is Crimea and the coast of Ukraine. The Sarmatians are the Ukrainian steppe. During the time of the Slavs, quite different people lived there than the Eastern Slavs. The Scythians, yes, that's relevant, but it's still the territory of Ukraine. You're getting a somewhat one-sided view of Slavic history
