And as for the "ugly" being played, I think the most revolting and silly thing gets played quite a lot, and that is male Au Ra, so people will play ugly things mostly from a male characters side. Not that I give a damn about ugly or otherwise races being added, I am eternally staying Miqo'te.
And personally I applaud them for caring enough about their own vision that they choose not to deviate just to pander to some specific Western demographic; a demographic which willingly subscribed to a franchise notable for it's inherently pretty and cute aesthetic I might add. Because some people want to see it added, it's SE's fault that they don't feel it's appropriate or appealing enough? This is honestly one of those things where I feel the consumers are "not allowed" to complain and just accept the fact that the Developers' visions do match up exactly with your idea of "If they want it, then add it. Definitely add it".
