We literally have a 150+ page thread of people asking for male Viera. This, combined with the other threads, constitutes a huge demand. Go look on other social media and see how much people are also talking about male Viera there. People want this so bad they go out and make fan art, photoshops, mods, whatever, to realize their dream. I feel bad for the people who will resort to using them to play as male Viera, but if they mess up Shadowbringers then I get why they would do that. It's still not something anyone should have to do to get to play the game that they deserve from the developers. Some variant of male Viera is better than no male Viera, which I'm sure we can all agree with.

Viera have been teased by Fran, by the concept art from Heavensward, and by the lore npc. If for some reason they add a random Hrothgar to patch 4.56, great, better late than never, but I'm still not interested in switching to that race when I'm already a cat boy.
