Gender locked race?

[Lacan]

I mean, I don't think it's old fashioned though. It seems like a lot of the people so vocal about male Viera are gay men. So I guess to some it's desired BECAUSE of that link maybe? What's interesting to me is that in googling "bara cat" I found out that bara is actually made sometimes specifically for gay men. Learn something new every day.

Well, either male viera or hrothgar would to appeal to the gays, but I would say the hrothgar even more so if they're a male only race. :v Look at what happened with the galka in FF 11. They're still making doujins about them doing all sorts of things, if you know what I mean.

I want male viera just because I think the lore/culture of the race is cool. Doesn't have to do with gayness, though I can see to an extent why it is associated with that. It seems like straight guys play girl characters more than anything now, which leaves the girls and the gays as the majority who actually care what the males of a race look like.
