I just want a fair counterpart to the female Viera we know are coming and have actually seen.

The females already aren't very different from the other races, but that's what we have. If they hold males to a different standard, where they MUST look the part of fierce forest protectors (which the females are also supposed to be and the trailer has shown they didn't really capture that aesthetic), we get another Au Ra situation. The constant "soft cutesy female/big fierce male" dimorphism is something I've been thoroughly saddened by since I played my very first 3D MMO on a dumpster fire of a computer in 2008. Genderlocking so our options are "soft sexy bunnygirl/big beefy cat men" does exactly this as well. The concept art we saw was absolutely fine.

(That MMO was Perfect World International by the way god help me I did not play it long)
