    Also, art is subjective. Not everyone will / has to enjoy specific things.

    Also, the events are not "just" for people who allready play the game. They will be promoted in- and outside of it, on wbesites, facebook, twitter [...] which means a lot of people will get to see it. Good / nice Art with popular races (female Miqo'te) can bring in more customers. So, again, it is a good marketing choice.
    I didn't say that "Cute waifu" thing towards the players...I'm saying it towards the artist who continue to choose the same races to display as.
    The Nekos and petite little female types are obviously popular in Japan...so it's no wonder.
    Maybe I should of clarified that since you thought otherwise.

    Secondly, I also didn't say it was "only for people who are already playing the game." All I am saying is, it would be nice to dip and give other races
    some love. I just like if they were more fair to it. That's all I'm saying. :/
    I understand why they do it, but you can still hope. Most fanart are consistently
    Miqote and Aura women. Where's everyone else!? Just a little dishearten is all.

    It's really no wonder that Femroes are the least played of all the races, especially when they're typically portrayed as ugly, or at best, brutish. Part of me finds this ironic because (and correct me if I'm wrong here), Miqo'te are ruthless hunters as far as the lore is concerned, yet they're typically portrayed as cute, mischievous cat people.
    You think that's bad? Xaela are warmongers (More info in MSQ/Azim Steppe) and meanwhile
    the meanest person there looks like a tiny, petite anime character that's about 5'2 lol.
    She doesn't seem all that intimidating, maybe because of her skin colour?
