There's a word for that, but currently it's one of the big sore spots to poke for flame wars on the internet right now, so I'm going to avoid using it to save this thread from a shouting contest and potential moderator action. =.=

That being said, the consideration and accommodation of one person's tastes does not have to nullify the chance at another person getting their wishes fulfilled.

Roda wants this


as much as she wants this


But with Viera officially confirmed, I'm going to continue to push that they should finish that race before they even think about introducing another race.
And since Au Ra were introduced with.... disarming dimorphism for the females as compared to the males, I'm going to be firmly in the camp of the Viera males should at least be shorter (not girlier, not childish or boyish, but shorter) to 1, add some uniqueness to the race as a whole since no other race in xiv has that specific dimorphism (I'd also enjoy it if the females got all the vibrant hair colors taken from their initial creation pallet, and the males got all the dull hair colors taken from theirs to suggest a bird-like dimorphism too. Aestetistician can restore the usual colors with dyes) and 2, to kind of balance out what each gender gets since, Au Ra gave the males 1 more tall race, and the females 1 more short race. With tall viera females, and small viera males we'd at least all be on the same footing again.

I'll be able to critique more on the mystery race when it's more than vague leaks and old localization beta text bugs.
