I'm going to have to cast major doubt on that if so.
Wanna go to the lore forums and grab an example of someone seriously thirsting for Venat if that's the case?

Granted, I don't open every single thread, but I've never heard of her described as "mommy" without being obviously facetious and never once seen her described as "hot" or "bangable". Also, we hadn't seen Venat's physical form before Endwalker so I don't know why a comment about being on the lore forums for a decade even matters when it comes to Hydaelyn's potential hotness or lack thereof.

If thirst by itself drove popularity polls in Japan, we'd see Y'shtola much higher than she is, but no amount of "hot" can save a character that doesn't have anything else going for her or the community actively dislikes.
