Gender locked race?

Exactly this. It isn't a problem with Hrothgar itself. The problem is the situation that they've created around them. I don't understand why Yoshi would intentionally sour the waters for Hrothgar like this when he had to know this would be the result. That's why I've still got hope there is more to it than the leaks would have us believe. :v

Imagine that race dude. Imagine being created with a forced narrative that writes them into a corner that can't be expanded upon without a good old retcon. To me Hrothgar wasn't created because someone was super excited and just had this brain spark in their own time that wasn't forced; it was brought up because in some board meeting someone slammed their hand down and went; 'You know what, rabbit men are weird - I don't like them. I know we have the art and the lore, but - yeah, it's just not something I'm super into. We can't just release a female only race though and that's it. We're going to need a race that has males. Of course, we've got limited time and resources; so might be best we gender-lock them as well. Can someone make that please?'

Wham; now we have a race that is created to not hit the points of 'male viera' because - 'that would be weird'; we're getting 'Anti-Male Viera'.

Or so my aggressively angry mind believes; rabble RABBLE RABBLE

I mean, that's kinda exactly what it would be lol. I would definitely want a female version of a Lion race, but if they're just the male race this go around, I'm not gonna be upset about it. I personally don't want the feminine male Viera some people in this thread want. I want a more masculine race because the Au'Ra run goofy and the Roe look goofy. If I get that, cool. Even if it isn't the same race as female Viera. I don't worry about the lore because I'm not super knowledgeable about it, and it seems people think the lore doesn't really matter anyway (male miqo, whm/drk etc).
